Mother's Day In Liverpool 2026

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 tickets starting from £29 each to the Mamma Mia bottomless brunch. 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...

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. From sky-high sarnies paired with draw-dropping city views at Panormaic 34, to a Slug & Lettuce's offering featuring a free Chambord Royal, one thing you definitely won't be is hungry with a Mother's Day afternoon tea in Liverpool.

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. 

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. 

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 £30 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. 

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.

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.

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. Feeling fancy?

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. 

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.
