5 Affordable Winter Date Ideas for Student Couples in Winchester

At Unilife, we know how busy student life can get, and finding time for date nights between coursework and deadlines isn’t always easy. That is why we have put together five budget friendly winter date ideas for undergraduate couples in Winchester, so you can enjoy quality time together without breaking the bank.

1. Explore Winchester’s Bookshops

For a cosy and relaxed date, visit P&G Wells or The Winchester Bookshop. Browse the shelves, swap recommendations, or pick out a book for each other. It’s a simple, thoughtful, and budget friendly way to show an interest in each others interests and spend time together.

2. Take a Scenic  Walk

Wrap up warm and take a brisk walk up St. Catherine’s Hill or along the South Downs Way. Enjoy stunning views, fresh air, and a break from studying while exploring Winchester’s beautiful countryside.

3. Test Your Knowledge at a Pub Quiz

For a fun, low cost night out, head to one of Winchester’s best pub quizzes:
The Railway
County Arms
The King Alfred
The Winchester Royal Hotel

Enjoy some friendly competition, grab a drink, and maybe even win a prize!

4. Cook Together at Home

Skip the expensive restaurants and turn your Unilife kitchenette into a cosy date night spot. Pick a recipe to cook together, enjoy some music, and finish the night with a homemade meal, without leaving your student home.

5. Movie Night in the Unilife Cinema Room

For the ultimate budget friendly date, grab some snacks and head to the Unilife Cinema Room. Whether you’re into horrors, rom-coms, or action films, enjoy a big screen experience without spending a penny.
