While you shouldn’t wait for just one day a year to shower your mum with love and appreciation, you’ll definitely be in the doghouse if you forget to make her feel special on Mother’s Day (Sunday March 30 2025). Keep yourself in her good books and ªas well as a thoughtful present and card, of course) treat your ma to a wholesome day out at one of London’s top mum-friendly events.

You can’t move for lovely afternoon teas across the city around this time of year, or you can take your mum on a stroll around some of London’s prettiest shops, take in some culture at one of the best current art exhibitions or sit back and watch a fab new theatre production. Personally, I like to take my mum to a cosy restaurant for a fancy meal – a tasty Sunday lunch hasn’t failed me yet. Check out our top picks for the best events to take the most important woman in your life this Mother’s Day 2025.

Head to Elephant & Castle food market Mercato Metropolitano’s garden bar on Mothers Day and you're in for a treat: mums get a free drink if they come with kids in tow, whether that's a craft beer, a cocktail, a glass of wine, or something altogether more virtuous. It's the perfect warm up for a greedy afternoon sampling the bounteous food options here, from arancini to Venezualan arepas.
