Event Highlights in February

February always sees a jump in the number of events taking place across the city, as many top attractions celebrate half term and Valentine's Day with a whole host of events for all ages and budgets. There are also a number of large-scale events taking place in the month that are sure to pique interest.

For some select highlights read our suggestions here, or scroll down for the full list of things to do in Portsmouth this February.

Portsmouth BookFest

February brings the opening of Portsmouth BookFest 2019. There are a whole host of events taking place throughout the city, perfect if you want to talk with bestselling authors, get tips on how to start writing, or even pitch your finished piece. Be sure to check out the listing for all the details, as there are scores of events to take part in, which include talks by some eminent writers from Britain and beyond.

A towering display of events

The Emirates Spinnaker Tower has a whole host of activities to enjoy this February. Throughout half term the youngsters can learn Stories from the City, to discover more about the places that can be seen from the tower's windows.

Alternatively, Valentine's brings with it two activities to cater to all tastes. The hopeless romantics can enjoy a Valentine's High Tea throughout the month. Taking place at View Deck One, this really does put the 'high' in high tea! Alternatively, you can have a good laugh at the Valentine's Comedy Special, featuring TV and radio stars Tez Ilyas and Paul McCaffrey.

Gigs aplenty

With our myriad gig venues, there's not a month that goes by when there's not a great display of events on offer. This February is no exception, with a host of genres gracing stages large and small.

Arguably the most fun event of the month will be at the Wedgewood Rooms, where the Valentine's Day Massacre sees a host of local bands cover iconic songs about love, lust heartbreak and everything in between. What's more, the event raises much needed funds for youth charities.

Meanwhile, the Pyramids Centre hosts The Dead South following their sold out show in the city last year. The band that has been described as 'Mumford & Sons' evil twins' brings punk bluegrass back to Portsmouth on February 13.
