How to Celebrate Mother’s Day in Berkshire 2024
This year Mother’s Day is on Sunday 10th March 2024 and I know it’s something that people start planning and thinking about weeks before. Whether you want to buy your mum the perfect gift or organise a day out to spoil her, it’s bound to be an important day on your calendar.
I thought it would be helpful to put together options of things to do for the Mother’s Day weekend in case you’re stuck for inspiration. From the cheap and cheerful to the extravagant, here’s a whole host of ideas for you including any special Mothers Day events across Berkshire too.
Things to do for Mother’s Day in Berkshire
National Trust
A day out at a National Trust property is always a great choice that everyone from young children to grandparents will enjoy. There are so many National Trust properties in Berkshire, many of which have trails to enjoy, play areas and beautiful walks too. Cliveden and Basildon Park are two of our favourites.
Berkshire Walks
It’s always nice to just go out and get some fresh air and so a walk could be a lovely way to spend a chunk of Mothers Day. We love walking at California Country Park, Dinton Pastures and Dorney Lake. Here are some more ideas of where to have a nice walk in Berkshire.
Days Out in Berkshire
If you’re looking for more than just a walk, a full day out could be just the thing. Beale Wildlife Park, The Lookout Discovery Centre, Bucklebury Farm and Deer Park and Wellington Country Park are some of our favourites.
Art & Culture
You might prefer to spend the day wandering around a museum, taking in an art gallery or simply immersing yourself in the art and culture that Berkshire has to offer. There’s so much to see and do in Berkshire, and here are our favourites:
Theatre Shows in Berkshire
Theatre show are a fantastic way to celebrate any occasion and Berkshire has so much to offer this year. From Calendar Girls and the UK Pink Floyd Experience to Ghost the Musical and Deathtrap. There’s a show for everyone.
Cinemas in Berkshire
Going to a cinema could be another nice option and a really relaxed way to spend Mother’s Day. There are new films being released all the time and our top pick for Mothers Day would be Mean Girls the Musical. I can’t wait to see it!
Spa Treats in Berkshire
Going on spa days is such a lovely way to celebrate Mothers Day and treat mum, plus we have so many great spas across Berkshire. From Nirvana Spa and The Cliveden House Spa to Taplow House Spa and the Esprit Spa at Crowne Plaza Reading. There are spa options to suit every budget.
You could always extend the treat by making it into a spa break, adding a hotel room and dinner to the experience. Or, alternatively, you may just want a lovely treatment together without making a full day or break of it. In this case, The Massage Company offer fantastic massage packages for two.
Shopping in Berkshire
A day full of shopping, chatting and stops for tea and cake is pretty much my favourite way to spend Mothers Day and there are plenty of places that are great for shopping. You could visit Reading, Bracknell, Newbury or Windsor.
Mothers Day Lunch in Berkshire
No Mother’s Day is complete without a lovely meal to celebrate and there are so many great options in Berkshire for a nice Mother’s Day brunch or Mother’s Day Sunday lunch. Here are just a few:
- Mother’s Day lunch at Easthampstead Park
- Mother’s Day lunch at Stirrups Hotel
- A Mother’s Day meal at The Foundry Bell
- Mother’s Day at the Golden Retriever
A chef at home experience could be a great alternative to eating out too. You save money as can provide your own alcohol but the chef saves you having to cook so you can simply enjoy time with your family. Here are a couple of options:
- Dining In is the new Dining Out with DineIndulge
- A Chef at Home Experience with La Belle Assiette
- Our yhangry Review – A Chef at Home Experience
Afternoon Tea in Berkshire
Instead of a formal meal, traditional afternoon teas can be a great option. With finger sandwiches, cake, scones with clotted cream and so many teas to choose from, afternoon tea always goes down well.
We love popping to Bills or Cafe Rouge for an informal afternoon tea any time or you might prefer the more fancy surroundings of a nice hotel like Cliveden House, The Royal Berkshire or Coworth Park.
Alternatively, there are some lovely cafes that do fantastic afternoon tea Robyn’s Nest, The Pantry at Yattendon or the Wellington Farm Shop.
