Mother’s Day is the perfect annual celebration to honour women’s achievements, offerings, and dedication to motherhood. The modern Mother’s Day celebration has its roots in the old Christian Mothering Sunday tradition, which originated in the 16th century and was classically celebrated with seasonal treats like Simmel cake.
Today, people across the UK still pay homage to their mothers by offering them Mother’s Day gifts, taking them out for a Mother’s Day dinner, lunch, or tea, enjoying exclusive Mother’s Day experiences, and more. Here are the best Mother’s Day activity ideas and fun, family-friendly spots around the Canary Wharf area to get your creative juices flowing for March.
