Make the most of a sumptuous three course menu featuring a variety of dishes including local Romney Marsh lamb and homemade heart shaped shortbread filled with strawberries and fresh cream. Priced at £29.95 per person for passport holders (non passport holders must pay standard admission prices) bookings are available for lunch from Saturday 11th to Sunday 19th February 2012.

Sam Lloyd, Head of Events said: ‘This is a wonderful way to celebrate Valentine’s Day – The Mansion & Gardens at Port Lympne are so romantic. It could be the perfect way to pop the question and it is a leap year this year so it’s time for the girls to ask the boys.’

For those who would prefer to celebrate on the day a romantic candlelit dinner for two can be booked on Tuesday 14th February and as an additional treat for that special someone why not this year incorporate a VIP safari. A private safari vehicle will transport couples to The African Experience, 100 acres of land where black rhino, ostrich, giraffe, eland, wildebeest and zebra can all be seen.

Sam said: ‘A VIP safari is a delightful way to treat that special someone, you can cuddle up and enjoy watching the animals in private or just gaze at the beautiful view out to the coast.’
