If you are part of a big family, or have little ones to factor into your plans, here are a few ways to make 15th March special for everyone.
Pinks Parlour’s Gelato Making Experience
For the Mum who loves gelato, this is such a fun treat. With space for between 8 and 10 people, the whole family can get involved and become gelato chefs in training. You will create your own flavours, enjoy two scoops of your choice and add all the toppings. A hands-on experience and a sweet treat in one.
Fish and chips on the beach
Keep it simple with fish and chips by the sea, followed by a stroll along the promenade. There is something timeless about wrapping up warm, watching the waves and spending quality time together.
Coffee and cake at Little Learners Cafe (previously Little Piggies Cafe)
Little ones can enjoy the soft play area while the grown-ups relax with a hot drink and a slice of cake. It is a lovely way to balance family fun with a moment of calm.
Crazy Golf and the Arcades
Get competitive with a round of crazy golf or enjoy the arcades along Bognor Regis seafront. It is classic seaside fun, and there is something for every age to enjoy.
We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful corner of the world, so why not make the most of it this Mother’s Day? After breakfast in bed, head outdoors and soak up the fresh sea air.
Luna Hut Sauna
If a cold sea dip followed by a warming sauna sounds like her idea of bliss, book a communal session at Luna Hut Sauna or opt for private hire if you are celebrating as a group. Sessions are available for 30 minutes, one hour or 90 minutes. You can even gift a membership, starting from £30 per month.
Explore the local area
From gentle seaside strolls to longer countryside walks, there are so many routes to discover locally. Last year we created a dedicated walking guide, including options for dog owners too. Whether your family prefers a relaxed wander or something a little more adventurous, there is a walk in Bognor Regis and the surrounding area to suit. And of course, you can always finish with a pub lunch or a well-earned drink in one of our local establishments.
On your bike
Make sure your bikes are road-ready, or treat Mum to a new one, with help from Kampos Cycles. There are plenty of scenic routes nearby, including some we highlighted at the end of our cycling guide. A coastal cycle followed by coffee is a brilliant way to spend the day.
If you are searching for something special, there is no need to look far. Bognor Regis is full of independent shops perfect for thoughtful gifting.
Create a locally sourced hamper
Does your Mum have a favourite shop in town? We are fortunate to have a fantastic selection of Eastern European stores with incredible delicatessens. From cheeses and cured meats to sweet treats and hard-to-find ingredients, you can create a truly personal hamper filled with her favourite flavours.
Flowers
Flowers may feel traditional, but locally crafted bouquets always carry that extra meaning. Fleur De Lis and Little Florist both offer beautiful ready-made arrangements, or you can request a bespoke bouquet designed especially for the day.
Let Mum choose
Sometimes the best gift is choice, especially when you turn it into part of the day. Create a homemade voucher for her favourite local shop and spend time browsing together. You could head to:
There may never feel like there is a gift big enough to express how much your mother figure means to you. But often, it is not about the size of the present. It is about being present.
Whatever you choose to do on 15th March, a little thought and time spent together will mean more than anything.
