Celebrate Galentine’s Day with your gals or pals at The Engine Room. Whether you are planning a long lunch, a relaxed catch up or something a little more special after work, we have the ideal way to spend the day.

Galentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to gather the people who matter, enjoy good food and spend time together.

Friday the 13th of February, 2026

Created by Leslie Knope in the sitcom ‘Parks and Recreation’, Galentine’s Day takes place each year on the 13th of February and celebrates the importance of female friendship. It’s a lovely excuse to come together with your gals or pals and enjoy some quality time together. It also offers a light‑hearted alternative or complement to the more traditional focus of Valentine’s Day.
