This March, celebrations for Mother’s Day in the UK and Ireland are blooming with exciting events and offerings that ensure mums feel appreciated and loved. From free LEGO creations to curated dining experiences and beautiful floral arrangements, there's something for every family to enjoy.
Starting with one of the most creative options, LEGO is hosting a special Mother’s Day Flower make-and-take event. Scheduled for March 22 and 23, 2025, children aged six and up can visit participating stores to build unique flower models, which they can take home for free. This event will take place at various locations across the UK and Ireland, and participants are encouraged to arrive early as supplies are limited.
The times for the event are March 22 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and on March 23 from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. Each child is restricted to one flower build to ensure as many kids can join in the fun as possible. This exciting opportunity follows LEGO's previous events, like the Valentine’s Day Heart make-and-take, marking a continuing trend of thoughtful giveaways from the beloved toy manufacturer.
Meanwhile, if dining out is more your style, several Heritage Pubs and Pubsmiths are stepping up to provide a memorable experience. On March 29 and 30, 2025, guests at these venues can pre-book a curated Mother’s Day set menu. Expect seasonal specials featuring duck breast and slow-cooked venison pie, alongside classic Sunday roasts that are perfect for celebrating with loved ones. Each venue will also feature a limited-edition Mother’s Day Spritz, crafted lovingly with rhubarb and apple gin.
For an extra touch of affection, pre-booked tables will receive a complimentary gift for mum, consisting of a candle and a miniature bottle of Chase gin or vodka upon arrival — all while stocks last. This initiative underlines the establishments' commitment to creating a delightful and memorable Mother’s Day for families looking to dine together.
As part of the gifting tradition, 123 Flowers, based in Halifax, is offering a stunning selection of floral arrangements to spread love and gratitude this Mother’s Day. Suitable gifts begin at £22.99, making it accessible for everyone to surprise their mothers with beautiful blooms. Their collection includes the Pretty and Pink bouquet, featuring symbolic pink carnations that embody love and appreciation, alongside the Peruvian Lily and Rose bouquet designed to express admiration.
Florist Alex Biggart shared insights on the meanings behind the flowers: "While red roses are synonymous with romance, pink versions of the popular stem hold different meanings. Pink roses are said to stand for admiration, making them both a perfect choice for Mother’s Day." This thoughtful consideration in selecting flowers shows just how special each bloom can be as a gift.
Further emphasizing the importance of customization, Biggart stated, "In the language of flowers every stem has a unique and special meaning. This Mother’s Day we are encouraging people to look beyond the beauty of blooms and into the symbolism behind what they gift. However you want to express your thanks, there’s a special gift out there for every wonderful mum.” This speaks volumes about the thoughtfulness behind gift-giving.
Whether you choose LEGO’s joyous hands-on experience, a delightful dining outing at local pubs, or opting for a gorgeous bouquet delivered to Mum, there are countless ways to make this Mother’s Day memorable. As March approaches, families are encouraged to take advantage of these offerings, ensuring that mothers everywhere receive the love and recognition they richly deserve.
