Embark on a journey of discovery in your very own city with the Mum who means the most and a selection of unforgettable local experiences. Our list of the top 5 things to do with Mum this Mother’s Day promises joy, adventure, meaningful moments and… hand-crafted pies.
Let’s get started, shall we?
We don't doubt that you know your city fairly well...but have you ever tried a free walking tour? Unbelievable. Discover hidden gems, historical landmarks and quaint streets that might have been missed, while also revisiting sights that you simply can’t get enough of.
Not only that, but many tours are even themed, giving that same, old walk an entertaining makeover. From following Jack the Ripper’s trail of intrigue at dusk to touring the local eye-catching street art and graffiti scene, there’s sure to be something to suit Mum’s – and your – tastes. Just make sure your stroll wanders past a Nicholson’s pub. No reason.
Nothing is as lovely as mum (especially if she happens to be reading this at the same time as you). However, if we had to name one thing, it would be the breathtaking art and exhibitions at your local galleries. Immerse yourself in a world of colour and creation that is both enriching and enjoyable, featuring the area’s most talented artists.
From modern and contemporary pieces to thought-provoking, vibrant and fascinating collections, there’s sure to be something that resonates with Mum. Many galleries even have an attached gift shop, where you can purchase items, books, prints and other assorted merchandise, turning home into your very own gallery. Potential Mother’s Day gift idea for Mum, maybe? To keep it a surprise, pretend you’re using the bathroom.
"How about some retail ther-“ That’s how far you’ll get when asking Mum if she’d like to pop round to your city’s vibrant shopping districts with you, because of course she’ll agree – more so if you say it’s your treat!
Whether it’s fashionable or indie boutiques where you put your card through its paces, quaint and charming local shops perfect for conversations with Mum, or bustling markets with surprises around every corner, a day of retail therapy is a fantastic way to spend Mother’s Day.
Just remember to ask her if she’d like you to carry some of her (many) shopping bags. She’ll love you even more than she already does.
Have a local event calendar on hand this Mother’s Day? Look at it, and then give Mum a call, because the two of you are about to mingle with members of the community at local events and festivals!
Fall in love with your city’s creative – and friendly – culture all over again by joining the crowd at electrifying outdoor concerts, ageless dance parties – yes, you heard that right – and lively markets, or encouraging Mum to unleash her inner artist by joining painting workshops.
Hint: No matter what she paints, you love it. Thank us later.
Nothing says, “I love you, Mum” like spoiling her to an afternoon or evening at her favourite British pub. No matter which of our recommended experiences you choose, you’ll always find a historic Nicholson’s pub nearby in the heart of various cities, ready and waiting to welcome you in.
So, pull up a chair, choose from our extensive menus of hearty pub classics and quality drinks, and raise a pint (or pie) to a Mother’s Day well spent. Your treat again, of course.
