You’ve agreed you’re overdue a night out together. Lovely, now someone needs to choose where to go, check the food, and find something you’ll both enjoy – and judging by the fact you’re reading this, that someone is probably you!
If you’re searching for date night ideas in Sheffield, let us take a few jobs off your list. At OEC, you can settle in for dinner and stay for the entertainment, with plenty of reasons to get a date in the diary…
At a glance: Date night at OEC Sheffield
OEC Sheffield offers experiences for couples including dinner and tribute shows, disco nights and afternoon music events. Highlights for 2026 and 2027 include Motown, Elvis, ABBA and Prince tributes, plus Soul Lovers Club. Find us on Penistone Road.
Enjoy dinner with your favourite soundtrack
There’s something satisfying about getting dressed up for a meal when neither of you has had to cook it. Having live entertainment to look forward to afterwards makes it even easier to put your phones away and enjoy the evening.
Our Motown Tribute Show on 14 November 2026 includes a two-course choice dinner, a live show and a disco. If soul is the soundtrack to your car journeys together, here’s your opportunity to hear those favourites somewhere with considerably more legroom.
Looking further ahead, Prince Tribute Live Show on 11 June 2027 brings Buzz D’Angelo to the stage, alongside a three-course choice dinner. A thoughtful anniversary idea if your other half has been playing Prince albums for as long as you’ve known them.
Make room for yourselves before Christmas
December diaries fill up quickly with work parties, family visits and everyone else’s plans. It’s worth claiming an evening together before the calendar makes that decision for you.
Christmas with Elvis on 3 December 2026 includes a three-course choice dinner, an Elvis tribute and a disco, with a late bar until 1am. You can soak up the festive atmosphere and sing along to your favourites, leaving the conversation about who’s hosting Christmas Day for another time.
See whether you still remember the moves
If your search for activities for couples keeps coming back to music and dancing, take the hint…
Our 90s/00s Disco on 9 January 2027 gives you something to look forward to once the decorations come down. It’s also an opportunity to discover which songs your partner knows suspiciously well.
For an evening of ABBA favourites, ABBA Fever on 9 April 2027 combines a live tribute show with a two-course choice dinner and a disco. Agreeing on what to do after dinner should be fairly straightforward when ‘Dancing Queen’ starts.
Start your Valentine’s date a little earlier
A date doesn’t have to mean a late night. Soul Lovers Club on 13 February 2027 runs from 2pm until 8pm, with a two-course choice lunch and a soul and Motown DJ set.
It’s an extra special option for Valentine’s weekend, especially if you enjoy a dance but also appreciate being home at a sensible hour – For anyone planning romantic breaks in Sheffield, it could be the afternoon you build your weekend around.
Give “we should go out more” a date
It’s easy to say you’re overdue a night out, then find another month has slipped by. If you’re looking for things to do in South Yorkshire for couples, these are just a few of the evenings and afternoons you could be spending together at OEC, with plenty more in our events calendar.
Pick something you’ll both enjoy, send your other half the link and get it booked before the usual routine claims another weekend. An anniversary is a good excuse, but so is finally wearing that outfit you bought for “going out”.
