That means it’s a big family weekend, so our weekly guide to things to do and places to go in the Mansfield, Ashfield and wider Nottinghamshire area very much reflects that.
Mother’s Day-related events are happening across the region – from tea, cakes and lunches to workshops and street entertainment.
Please remember to check the websites of each individual venue for opening times and admission prices.
If you know of any upcoming events that could be featured in this weekly ‘Things To Do At The Weekend’ guide, please email me at [email protected]
Have a great weekend!
5. Lunch at the Courtyard
There can be few better settings in which to treat your mum this Mother's Day than the Courtyard Cafe at Thoresby Park. The venue is offering a fantastic lunch, made up of local fresh produce, on Sunday (12 midday to 2 pm), which can be followed by a walk through Thoresby's beautiful grounds. Photo: Submitted
6. Jumping for fun
From mums to toddlers, there's something for everyone at the i-Jump indoor trampoline park in Mansfield Woodhouse. With more than 50 inter-connected trampolines, you can jump freely across the park, bouncing from wall to wall. There's a family jump every Sunday afternoon, and you can even organise party packages.

7. Free arts trail and crafts
Why not treat the family to a free event, suitable for all ages, that is being hosted by Southwell Minster on Saturday (10.30 am to 1 pm)? You can try your hand at crafts in a fun session, or join an exciting, self-led arts trail to see what you can discover. Photo: Submitted
8. Make a bath bomb
Young members of the B: Club at Mansfield's Four Seasons shopping centre are looking forward to Saturday (11 am to 3 pm). For a free, special workshop is going to teach them how to make a Mother's Day bath bomb. Coming up next month are sessions on decorating Easter eggs and making Easter bonnets. Photo: Submitted
