Celebrating Mother's Day
When is Mother's Day in the UK?
In the UK, Mother's Day - or Mothering Sunday - takes place three weeks before Easter Sunday. For 2026, that will be on Sun 15 Mar. This is different to the US, where they celebrate it on the second Sunday in May.
What is Mother's Day?
Mother's Day is a day dedicated to celebrating mothers and maternal figures globally. It honours the influence of mothers, motherhood and maternal bonds, typically commemorated with gift giving and spending quality time with loved ones.
