Lockdown Mother's Day Treats

Lots of us won’t be able to spend time in person and get together with our Mums, Grans or Nans this Mother’s Day but there are still lots of ways to make Mother’s Day on 14 March a special day. 

Stoke-on-Trent’s attractions, hotels and restaurants are set to reopen in the coming months, so why not treat Mum with membership, a voucher or gift card for a favourite place they’ve missed visiting or somewhere they’ve been itching to go? Trentham Estate, Trentham Monkey Forest, Middleport Pottery, World of Wedgwood, Regent Theatre, Victoria Hall, New Vic Theatre, and LoveClay Ceramics Centre all offer options to gift now, enjoy later!

Here are some top Stoke-on-Trent gifts, at home-experiences and special treats for Mum, whether you’re locked down together or you will be greeting Mum with a cheery “Happy Mother’s Day” over a video call!

Mother’s Day gifts

Trentham Estate

The Trentham Estate remains open for exercise and essential retail so if you are local, you can enjoy Mother’s Day walks with your bubble around the award-winning gardens (please book in advance online as number of entries is restricted).

However, if you’re unable to visit, why not give the gift of membership for Mum to enjoy throughout the year? You'll be able to enjoy time together all year round and make happy memories to treasure.
