Mum’s the word- Make Mother’s Day perfect with Our Bury St Edmunds

If you’re looking to choose a Mother’s Day treat for your Mum or mother figure, there’s no better place to do so than Bury St Edmunds. Whether you’re looking for gifts she’ll treasure or a yummy afternoon tea you’ll find it here.  And with our reputation as the foodie capital of Suffolk, there’s no end of places for a delicious Mother’s Day Sunday lunch too.

It’s a day of the year when Mum’s shouldn’t be cooking lunch and certainly not washing up. For somewhere special that isn’t usually open on a Sunday, try Maison Bleue in Churchgate Street, which is open for this special celebration. Make sure to book. On Abbeygate Street, why not treat her to Mowgli’s special Mother’s Day menu? The three-course menu with a glass of bubbles and yoghurt chat bombs to nibble first is just £35 per person. The Fox Inn on Eastgate Street also looks forward to welcoming mums across the weekend, treating them to a delicious and hearty roast dinner. New restaurants in Bury St Edmunds to enjoy this Mother’s Day include Meat & Greet, which offers gourmet BBQ grill food, and C&S café for great teas, coffees, cakes, and lunches served by a friendly team. If you’re near St Andrews Street, why not stop by Nightjars for a delicious lunch and try their new food menu! Enjoy a tasty sandwich with a free tea or coffee for just £10, available 12–4pm. Plus, why not toast to Mum with one of their amazing cocktails?

Afternoon tea is another fabulous way to treat your beloved Mum on Mother’s Day. At Lottie’s Waffles on Angel Hill, Mums can enjoy an Ultimate Afternoon Tea with a glass of prosecco! Or pop along to Procopio’s Pantry in Langton Place, where the Mother’s Day tea includes unique flavours; last year, they served up delicious lavender scones and rose loaves– you’ll need to book to ensure your Mum doesn’t miss out, though. Meanwhile, at Harriet’s Tearooms in the Cornhill, you could order afternoon tea to enjoy at home through delivery or takeaway or book to eat on Saturday or Sunday. The ‘Pickwick Afternoon Tea,’ inspired by Charles Dickens, is the perfect place to enjoy sweet and savoury in the relaxing lounge of Angel Hotel.

If your Mum loves doing things that are a bit different, why not entertain her with Jazz Samba on the 28th of March at Hunter Club Art Centre or have a giggle on the same night at their comedy club? Visit Moyse’s Hall and learn about women’s history at the Witch Trials, or marvel at the Contemporary East Anglian Landscapes Exhibition at The Apex.

As well as afternoon tea, you might also want to buy her a lovely present. Have you seen the gorgeous handbags, purses and even umbrellas in the Leather and Luggage department at Croasdales on the corner of The Traverse in the heart of the town? Buy the Light in Whiting Street is always a popular choice for unique gifts, and this month’s featured fragrance is called ‘Classic Cotton,’ as always, with the feature, there is 20% off.  At Quest in Abbeygate Street, you’ll find some beautiful and colourful scarves as well as plenty of other irresistible gift ideas. The brand new store Lisa Angel of Abbeygate Street is the perfect destination for personalised and unique Mother’s Day gifts. From necklaces and jewellery boxes to locally crafted spirits, jelly cats, books and dried flowers, you are sure to find something your Mum will love.

If your Mum has a sweet tooth, head for Mr Simms in the Buttermarket, where you’ll find grazing boxes and many other treats specially designed for Mother’s Day. And if you are looking to say it with flowers but want a bouquet that will last forever, then there are a couple of choices. Find Neptune’s range of flowers that last a lifetime at the St Andrews Street South branch and create your unique arrangement, or visit Starlings Toys in Charter Square, which currently has a special offer on the LEGO Bouquet of Roses. Or perhaps there are little ones in the household who want to craft their own special gift or card for Mummy. A pampering or beauty treatment is sure to be a winner on Mother’s Day, too and Amanda Janes, the beauty salon in St Andrews Street North has a range of experiences, including massages and hot stone treatments or vouchers to give Mum the gift of relaxation.

Why not create a tranquil spa day at home for Mum instead? CBD Brothers supply a range of CBD products that claim relaxing, energising and uplifting qualities. From oils and gummies to patches or balms, they have plenty of products to pamper your Mum on Mother’s Day. And what’s better? This month, they are running a competition where entries are as simple as entering your name! Keep your eyes peeled for more information on the top prize. For an entire pamper session, The Body Shop stocks a wide range of bath and shower gels, moisturisers, body butter, perfumes, and home pamper products to allow your Mum to unwind and relax this Mother’s Day. Boots on Cornhill is a Mother’s Day emporium with a range of unique gift sets, including perfumes, makeup, skincare, haircare and more – especially put together with mums in mind.

And we know that some Mums might like to choose their gift too. Here at Our Bury St Edmunds, we’ve also got that covered. Pop one of our Gift Cards inside your card, and you will make Mum’s day. She’ll be spoilt for choice, with over 75 local businesses accepting the card as payment, including retail, leisure, hospitality, and so much more. You can buy the Bury St Edmunds Gift Card online or pick up a pack at one of 8 pick-up points and then load the gift card with any amount you wish to gift.
