Mother’s Day Ideas In Surrey
Thinking about what to do for your mum, this Mother’s Day?
Here’s our round up of favourite things to do or gift ideas:
Scenic Retreats and Gardens:
We are spoilt in Surrey for wide open, beautiful spaces. Going for a walk outdoors may sound like an easy option, but mothers love spending time with their family, just having a chat and the opportunity for a catch-up. Here are where we love going for some fresh air and a pretty amble:
Painshill Park, Cobham
Begin your Mother's Day journey with a visit to the picturesque Painshill Park in Cobham. Take a leisurely stroll around the lake, explore the crystal grotto, and revel in the beauty of this hidden gem.
Polesden Lacey, Dorking
For history-loving mums, Polesden Lacey near Dorking is a National Trust property that provides a glimpse into the Edwardian era.
Wine Tasting at Surrey Vineyards
Elevate your Mother's Day celebration with a delightful wine-tasting experience at Surrey's renowned vineyards. Greyfriars, Albury, and Denbies Vineyard all offer tastings.
Watts Gallery, Compton
For an artistic touch to Mother's Day, visit the Watts Gallery in Compton. Enjoy the diverse collection of Victorian art and take part in afternoon tea at the on-site tea shop, creating a harmonious blend of culture and relaxation.

Culinary Delights:
Of course, food is always fab to throw into the mix when celebrating Mother’s Day. You could, of course, cook her a roast with some delicious produce bought from our favourite, Hayden and Baker. However, we are at no shortage of restaurants or gastro pubs in Surrey for Mother’s day either. These are the ones we return to time and time again:
The Watermill, Dorking
With its charming ambience and delectable menu, this restaurant offers a delightful dining experience, making it an ideal spot for a Mother's Day lunch or dinner.
Woodlands Park Hotel, Cobham
Indulge in a traditional afternoon tea at Woodlands Park Hotel in Cobham with delicious pastries and sandwiches in a luxurious setting
The Ivy, Cobham or Wimbledon Village
For a chic and stylish Mother's Day brunch or lunch, head to The Ivy in Cobham or Wimbledon Village. Known for its elegant atmosphere and diverse menu, The Ivy ensures a sophisticated and satisfying dining experience.
The Black Swan, Ockham
Enjoy a long lunch or supper at The Black Swan in Ockham, located near RHS Wisley. This charming pub offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere, providing the perfect ending to a day of exploration - either in Wisley’s grounds or Ockham Common. There may be a lot of building work in the area at the moment - but it’ll be quiet on Mothering Sunday.
GIFT IDEAS
If you don’t get the chance to catch up with your mum this Mother’s Day, there’s always the option of sending flowers, or better yet a gift. We love the selection of toiletries, trinkets and clothes on offer at Bumbles. Giving a gift voucher for a relaxing experience is always a great option too. Natural Beauty Leatherhead is one of the best beauty salons in Surrey, while Ashtead Aesthetics also offer some fantastic facials too. Or, why not give her the gift of reflexology? Hayley Nicholson Reflexology is a truly life changing experience when you attend - your mum will forever be grateful.
