With St. Valentine's Day less than two weeks away, love is in the air around the streets of Waterford.
Waterford Council's Arts Officer Conor Nolan has compiled a programme of events to celebrate February 14th.
One of the highlights is the St. Valentines Post Box of Love located at Hanover Street. People can avail of pre-printed postcards from Central Library, Waterford Gallery of Art and Garter Lane, and post them to that someone special.
Selected letters will be read out through Waterford in Your Pocket's Facebook page.
Throughout the week Barbershop workshops will take place in nursing homes throughout the city leading to special in-home concerts.
There will also be music in the city centre on the weekend of February 12th and 13th, just before Valentine's Day. The Campervan of Sound and special guests will serenade the crowds in the Waterford Cultural Quarter.
Conor Nolan, explained the reasoning behind the programme of events in the run up to St. Valentine's Day in Waterford:
We’ve all been through a tough couple of years and for many it was a time that was spent socially distanced and apart from those special people in our lives. Now that things have opened up it’s time to celebrate being able to be together, be it with a parent, partner, spouse or good friend. For those who can’t be together, posting a letter at the Post Box of Love could very well reach them, as selected love requests will be read out online.”
