Mother's Day In Liverpool 2026

How to have the best Mother's Day in Liverpool? Behind bars, of course. Purchase tickets to Alcotraz: Cell Block Three-Six for an immersive experience to remember. Sport bright orange jumpsuits, smuggle liquor past the beady-eyed Warden and get the guards on your side to be in with a chance of succeeding. Pass your spirits over to the long-serving inmates, who quite literally serve, as they whip up bespoke tipples to your liking. For more, check out Alcotraz - The Yard. 

Want to treat your mum to delicious food and drink in stunning surrounds? Then take her to The Brunch And Cocktail Club, located in The Ropewalks. The gorgeous spot flaunts floral displays and exposed brick walls, alongside pretty fairy lights and plush green velvet booths.

Swing by in the morning for chorizo scrambled eggs or smashed avocado on toast, with the option to add on bottomless drinks for £42.50 per person. Or for lunch (from 12pm), they offer delicious burgers, steak ciabattas, club caesar salad and so much more.

Nothing says thanks for everything like the gift of good food, which is why dinner or lunch at Indian restaurant Mowgli on Water Street or Bold Street should be on the cards this Mother's Day. It's the prettiest haunt too, which is bound to impress, thanks to its indoor rope swings, winding trees and sparkly fairy lights wrapped around the chairs and curled up in jars.

The menu is fairly cheap too, which is always a plus. Tuck into the likes of treacle tamarind fries or the house lamb curry for under a tenner, then sip on bespoke cocktails such as the Chai Rum Sling, infused with apricot liqueur. 

Head to Ormskirk Food & Drink Market for their Brushes and Bubbles event, taking place on the 13th. This is a sip and paint experience led by Lynne from Pots of Magic, who'll teach you how to a full bottle of prosecco and a glass flute to match.

Choose your design and get stuck in, with all the materials you need provided. Your ticket also includes a welcome drink, and the painted bottle and glass to take home - alongside a special gift bag.

Gino D'Acampo Liverpool's location is a stunner, boasting an open-plan dining room decorated with neon lettering, glowing yellow lights and floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook Old Street Hall, not to mention the Sky Bar Terrace with a 360-degree view at the top of the building. Enjoy an afternoon tea, a cocktail upstairs or feast on a special menu for the day, designed to please mums by offering silky ribbons of fresh pasta. 

Mother's Day isn't just an excuse for a Sunday roast, although it doesn't hurt. Piccolino is a top-quality Italian eatery nestled in the heart of the city, with a grand exterior thanks to its tall windows and an inside to match. It's split over two levels of dining space, with an alfresco terrace (weather permitting), a menu boasting authentic pasta dishes and, come the weekend, a slap-up roast. Think herb-roasted free-range chicken, beef rump, porchetta and a mixed nut roast, served with all the trimmings.

With 2-4-1 cocktails all day, every day, Slug and Lettuce Liverpool offers a fantastic deal to treat mum to drinks. This Mother's Day, when you reserve a table, every mother figure will receive a free celebratory drink (choice is subject to manager's discretion).

Solve puzzles and break out of alternative realities together at Escape Hunt Liverpool, located by Royal Albert Dock. Choose from five immersive experiences, ranging from shrinking down to size in Alice In Puzzleland to giddy-upping and fleeing the Wild West. There's even a chance to set sail and uncover Blackbeard's treasure should you be so brave. Afterwards, there's plenty of time to relax and catch up on your travels at the well-stocked bar, so grab a G&T, wine or orange juice and debrief before you head back to the real world. 

Does your mum like to be wowed by innovative creations AKA cocktails that are overflowing with bubbles or light up? If the answer is yes, then The Alchemist in the Cavern Quarter is the perfect destination to spend Mother's Day in Liverpool 2026.

Head to Brunswick Street on the Sunday from 11am 'til 4pm to feast on fantastical brunch creations and three tipples for £35 each, or add an extra tenner to make it bottomless in the drinks department. Sip on the cherry gin-based Pop Notch or the famous Bubble Bath, all while tucking into a passion fruit pancake stack or 'nduja and avocado on toast. 

Or, if you fancy joining for their Sunday Feast (available from 11am-6pm), you can dig into The Ultimate Shring Platter (designed for two, at £20 per person), featuring BBQ baby back ribs, buttermilk fried chicken, loaded truffle tater tot and so mmuch more.

Does your mum like a tipple or two, but has always wondered how to make her own? Then treat her to one of the various cocktail-making classes across the city. You can get the whole family together and brush up on your tipple skills, then show them off when you get home, taking it in turns to be the bar manager for the night. Fun.

Mother's Day in Liverpool city centre would not be complete without a trip to the pink playground Tonight Josephine. If your mum loves ABBA and likes to think of herself as a bit of a Meryl Streep in sexy overalls, then she'll adore the Mamma Mia bottomless brunch on Sunday 15th March. The event is hosted by a wild West End drag star who encourages you to embrace 70s nostalgia and sing Voulez-Vous at the top of your lungs. All you have to do is be willing to take a chance...

You can also join them on the same day for their Mother's Day Afternoon Tea Sip & Paint experience.

What better way to spend the 30th of March than with your mum and her favourite thing to do: have an afternoon tea. There's a stellar selection of spots in the city so you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to picking.

Lunching with your mum is great and all that, but how about taking a trip together to the upside down? No, not to The Upsidedown, but the crazy and out-of-the-ordinary Quirky Quarter, located in the middle of the city centre. Here you'll find loads of peculiar photo opportunities to confuse your friends with, as well as interactive puzzles and games. It's a place for the curious and playful, for those who are prepared to discover that nothing really is as it seems.

Take a trip to this renowned steakhouse on Mother's Day. Located in the Grade II-listed India Building and donning decor inspired by the 1920s (think brass-trimmed ceiling lights, antique lamps and reflective inserts on the walls), this restaurant is always putting its best foot forward, and on Sunday the 15th of March, it's no exception. Come for lunch and sling back oysters or roasted scallops, or opt for their iconic Sunday roast featuring roasted bone marrow and onions, plus their house stuffing.

The Art School Restaurant is a local produce-first eatery founded by Paul Askew. It can be found in the Georgian Quarter, based inside the lantern room of the former Victorian 1888 'Home for Destitute Children', decked out with 48 red chairs in the main dining room and a Champagne cellar bar.

If you're keen to treat your mum to a culinary experience that'll raise the bar, then book a table. Expect five courses for £69 per person (£29.50 for children), including a glass of Henners English sparkling wine to toast alongside Lancashire cheese scones with shallot red onion and beetroot jam, infused vegan cream cheese and Gordial olives. There will then be an amuse bouche followed by starters like slow-cooked, miso-glazed ox tongue and mains such as guinea fowl, saddleback pork rack, harissa lamb, vegan roast or market fish of the day.

Famed for its Argentinian steaks and found on the ground floor of a gorgeous Grade II-listed building on Water Street, Gaucho is the ideal restaurant to dine at on Mother's Day if you're looking to wow her. Upon entry, expect to be met with extravagance thanks to its large, towering marble pillars and golden lights. Make your way through to the dining room and prepare to devour the likes of their iconic bottomless roasts (think unlimited Yorkshire puddings, yes please), or opt for a flakey whole-grilled sea bass, accompanied by your choice of side.
