Event Highlights in February

It's a leap year, which means February has an extra day to fill with things to do. Luckily, we've got a whole host of great events and activities coming up over the month ahead. From family-friendly half term events to theatre shows, film screenings and even a half marathon - we've got the lot.

Scroll down to take a look through the full listings of events coming up this month, or read on for a selection of our highlights.

Higher Love

Love is in the air this February - quite literally. The Emirates Spinnaker Tower hosts a special event for lovers to enjoy a sharing platter of delicious treats from the viewing decks some 100-metres above sea level. Take in the stunning views out across the Solent whilst enjoying great food and a glass of fizz.

Music and theatre

Valentine's Day is given the Wedgewood Rooms treatment this month, as local bands give songs of love, lust and heartbreak a pat down and a once over. The St Valentine's Day Massacre invites a whole host of local singers, bands and dance troupes to perform on the Wedge stage for 15 minutes each - all in aid of Youth Music.

Meanwhile, Portsmouth Guildhall hosts the latest performance on these shores of The Dead South. The folk punk rockers (described as "Mumford & Sons' evil twins") have worked their way through the ranks, performing at the Wedgewood Rooms and Pyramids, before taking to the Guildhall stage.

At the Kings Theatre there's the touring musical Educating Rita, starring Stephen Tompkinson and Jessica Johnson. This musical re-telling of the classic film has already won an Olivier award for its London run, so be sure to catch one of the eight performances as it rolls into Southsea this month.

What if...

There's something a little different to enjoy at Fort Nelson this month. 1878: The war that never was is a promenade performance where the audience gets to see how the garrison would have fared if war with the French had actually happened. It will see the fort used almost as a character in its own right, with the audience taking a trip through its rooms and tunnels as the story develops.
