- What's On, Mother's Day
Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to slow down, spend quality time together, and show Mum just how much she means to you. If you’re a Merlin Annual Passholder, you’re in the perfect position to plan a day that’s a little more special than the usual flowers and chocolates. From relaxing afternoon teas to unforgettable views of London, here are some brilliant ways to treat Mum using your pass.
Make Memories at Chessington World of Adventures
If your mum loves animals, rides, or simply spending a fun day out together, why not celebrate at Chessington World of Adventures? This year there’s even a Passholder Day on Mother’s Day, making it an extra special time for Merlin Annual Passholders to visit.
Spend the day exploring the zoo, strolling through the park together, and enjoying family rides. It’s a great way to relive childhood memories while creating new ones – and the relaxed early-season atmosphere makes it perfect for a day out with Mum.
Top tip: take a break with coffee while watching the animals – sometimes the simplest moments are the best.
Treat Mum to a Sky-High Experience on the London Eye
For a Mother’s Day with a view, you can’t go wrong with a trip on the London Eye. Watching London unfold beneath you while you take a gentle rotation is a wonderfully relaxing way to spend time together.
Want to make it extra special? Consider upgrading your experience:
- Afternoon Tea in the Sky – enjoy sweet treats and tea while taking in the skyline
- Champagne Experience – toast Mum with a glass of bubbly as you glide above the Thames
It’s a memorable way to celebrate and a brilliant excuse to capture some Mother’s Day photos together.
Enjoy Afternoon Tea at Warwick Castle
If your mum loves a touch of elegance, plan a visit to Warwick Castle and book afternoon tea in the beautiful Conservatory Tea House.
Set within the castle grounds, it’s the perfect setting to relax and enjoy classic afternoon tea favourites like delicate sandwiches, warm scones, and sweet pastries. After tea, take a stroll through the castle grounds, explore the gardens, or step inside the historic halls for a fascinating journey through history.
It’s a wonderfully relaxed day out that combines history, scenery, and plenty of time to chat.
For Thrill-Seeking Mums: Alton After Dark
If your mum loves a bit of adrenaline, why not plan an evening adventure at Alton After Dark at Alton Towers Resort?
This after-hours experience lets you enjoy some of the park’s most exciting rides in the evening atmosphere, making it perfect for thrill-seeking families. Between rides, you can wander the beautiful Alton Towers gardens and grounds together – a peaceful contrast to the high-speed thrills.
It’s a brilliant way to spend time together if your mum is the type who prefers rollercoasters to roses.
Meet the Stars at Madame Tussauds London
For something a little different this Mother’s Day, take your mum to Madame Tussauds London for a day among the stars.
You can explore the attraction together, snap photos with famous faces, and don’t forget to stop by the new Sir Idris Elba figure. Whether your mum is a film fan, a music lover, or simply enjoys a fun day out in London, it’s a great way to share some laughs and get some brilliant photos together.
Capture the Moment Together
Wherever you go, don’t forget to take a photo together. Many Merlin attractions have fantastic photo spots – whether it’s against the London skyline, inside a historic castle, or beside amazing animals. These moments often become the memories Mum treasures most.
Make Mother’s Day One to Remember
With so many Merlin attractions to explore, planning something special for Mother’s Day is easy with your Merlin Annual Pass. Whether you’re enjoying breathtaking views on the London Eye, sharing laughter at Chessington, screaming your way through Alton Towers, or indulging in afternoon tea at Warwick Castle, the most important thing is spending the day together.
After all, the best gift you can give Mum is time well spent.
