Spend an evening at the old Pleasureland on the seafront, now Adventure Coast, on the thrill rides and the old-fashioned fairground games.

Why it's a good date: It's free to get in and you only pay for the rides you go on, so it can be as cheap a date as you like. It opens at weekends and in the school holidays from spring to early September. Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome, though not on the rides.
