This year’s line-up proves that celebrating our mums doesn't have to mean sitting still and staying quiet in a formal dining room, pondering which fork to use for which course is arriving - if that’s not your scene, anyway.
From high-energy sing-alongs to creative crafting sessions, the city is leaning into experience-led celebrations.
Our curated list of 25 highlights includes plenty of opportunities for mothers and their children to get involved, get messy, and create something together.
Whether that’s a bespoke high tea in Adel or a handmade ceramic masterpiece in Headingley.
