Royal Mail is also sponsoring the village’s annual Lover Village Valentine Post. The pop up post office is a key part of the Valentine service delivered by Lover. The post office adds an extra special romantic touch to every Valentine’s card by marking cards with a stamp to show it has been sent from Lover. The Lover Village Valentine post service enables people to receive the special Lover cachet stamp on the envelope of their Valentine card before it is sent anywhere in the world. The Lover village website (lover.org.uk) is already taking online orders and the pop up Post Office opens its doors from the 8 February 2020.

Mark Street, Head of Campaigns at Royal Mail said: “As loved ones prepare to show their affection for one another, Royal Mail is playing an important role, as always, in delivering cards, letters and gifts across the UK. Valentine’s Day is an opportunity to let that special person in your life know how much you love them and we are very pleased to play a part in this loving celebration.”
