With Mother’s Day on the horizon, it’s time to start planning a celebration worthy of the person who does it all. This year, make it more than a card and flowers – turn it into a day of time well spent together at Westwood Cross. Whether you’re planning a relaxed lunch just the two of you, a multi-generational get-together with the kids and grandparents, or a full day of shared experiences, you’ll find everything you need to make unforgettable memories.
Here’s how to make a day of it…
Morning meet-up
Start the day slowly with coffee and cake – the perfect excuse to sit down, catch up properly and enjoy uninterrupted time together. Choose a few sweet treats to share while you swap life updates and laughs, and then once you’re fuelled up, browse your favourite shops and let her choose something she truly loves. From sparkling jewellery at Lovisa and Pandora to pampering essentials from Rituals, it’s about giving her an experience – not just a gift!
Shop and explore
Now it’s time to explore together! Make it interactive with beauty consultations at Brows, fragrance sampling at Boots and The Fragrance Shop, or a relaxed browse at Waterstones. If home inspiration is more their thing, enjoy moodboarding dream interiors straight out of a Pinterest board together, from home accessories at TK Maxx and Homesense to stylish pieces from Next and M&S. Sharing ideas and planning future projects is all part of the fun (because let’s face it, you got your design eye from her!).
Capture the moment
Mother’s Day is about making memories, so don’t forget to capture them. Luckily we’ve got plenty of great spots to pause, sit and snap a few pictures together! Take a family selfie by the Viking ship sundial bench, or make use of the cosy seating areas around the centre to relax and reflect – Riparo Lounge’s stylish retro lamps make the perfect backdrop for a picture you’ll look back on for years to come.
Round it off with a meal
Enjoy a special Mother’s Day set menu at Ask Italian (three courses for £29.95, with Mum able to enjoy a Miribeau Rosé Spritz for £5 when ordering from the set menu), savour cocktails and a leisurely lunch at Riparo Lounge, or gather the whole family for big flavours at Thai Village. For something a little more relaxed, Captain D’s is perfect for casual dining that the whole gang can enjoy. However you choose to celebrate, we’re here to make it easy to create a truly special day for a truly special woman.
