There’s also the chance to do something different, with special cinema screenings, outdoor activities and art classes available.
Mother’s Day, which has its origins in the 16th-century custom of 'Mothering Sunday', which fell on the fourth Sunday of Lent, is held this Sunday (March 30).
Check out our full list of suggestions for what you can do in the gallery below.
