Finding the perfect date idea that is fun and vegan-friendly can be very hard and time-consuming – even paintballing isn’t vegan-friendly! We have put together a list of 15 date ideas that are vegan-friendly and allow you that quality time to get to know your date.

1. Indoor Trampoline

Indoor trampolining is a great activity to do all year round. AirHop in Bristol has over 140 interconnected trampolines that span the floor and the walls of the main court – as well as an obstacle course, wipeout zone and foam fit.

Try the 6-mile circular walk around Snowdonia national park starting and ending at the little footbridge at Beddgelert.

This hike will give you lots of time to get to know each other while sharing some breathtaking sights of natural beauty.

3. Segway Tours

Take a segway tour to explore a new city together while having fun! Most cities have lots of independent segway tours but try to visit somewhere rich in history and that is new for both of you.
