Treat yo mama right: 10 fun things to do with your mum this Mother's Day

Mothers. The unsung heroes of the world. From wiping our backsides as tiny tots and putting up with our hormonal outbursts through our troublesome teen years to instilling within us the values that we carry throughout our adult lives. They're the glue holding together most families, the anchors who make sure we're fed and watered, cleaned and presentable, and the people we rely on the most when faced with times of struggle. Without our dear matriarchs, we think it fair to say, we'd be entirely lost. And so, it's only right that on one day each year, we collectively pause to commemorate mothers across the globe, to thank them for their many years of service and for being there in the good times and the bad, usually whether we like it or not!

To assist you in ensuring your mother or maternal figure feels the love this Mother's Day (Sunday 19th March), we've put together a list of 10 fun and affordable things to do across the UK. Some of which are suitable for the entire family and some for those of age who enjoy a glass of prosecco or two.

Spend quality time with your mum this Mother's Day at one of the events listed below, and show her just how much she's appreciated.

Mother's Day Weekend Specials at Brighton i360

When: Saturday 18th - Sunday 19th March 2023

Where: Brighton I360 in Brighton

Soaring 450 feet above Brighton's coastline, with views over the South Downs, the i360 moving observation tower is perhaps one of the most impressive places to hold a Mother's Day event in the UK.

Take mumsy on an adventure up into the clouds and upon your arrival back on earth, head to the West Beach Restaurant to experience a limited edition Mother's Day afternoon tea. 

It might be worth checking in with mum first, however, to make sure she's not got a problem with heights. You don't want her remembering Mother's Day 2023 for all the wrong reasons now, do you?
