Valentine's Day is best spent with the people you love, be it friends, family or a partner - and this year, many people may choose to stay in for a cosy night by the fire, rather than venture out into the city.

If you're isolating on February 14, or would rather stay home out of caution, there are dozens of things you can do from the comfort of your front room - from chocolate fountains to the catching up on Disney Plus.
