By Lover village, situated near Salisbury, is known as the most romantic village in the world. Each year, the village opens a pop-up Valentine's Day post office so locals can pick up a Lover Cachet stamp before their cards are sent to their sweethearts all over the world.
This year, the Lover Valentine Postal Service will open once again and, for the first time, the Royal Mail will be supporting the campaign, helping the village grow its number of card orders.
"We are delighted to have Royal Mail show their love for our campaign this year and help us deliver our romantic service. We are proud to be famous again for this special Valentine service and look forward to processing a record number of orders this year," Nick Gibbs, Chair of the Lover Community Trust, says.
As well as the return of their exciting postal service, Lover will open its very first 'Lover Darling' coffee shop, named after the Darling Family in the village. If you've stopping by to deliver your card, you'll find a mother and daughter duo selling lovingly-baked biscuits and cakes.
Residents of the pretty Wiltshire village will also continue their tradition of hanging heart-shaped bunting, wreaths and balloons on their garden fences and front doors.
Elsewhere, Stanley the dog, mascot for the Lover post, has launched his very own "Stanley Says" range of cards for people to post.
What to Read Next
