There's a dizzying array of ABBA-themed experiences in London right now, including holographic gig ABBA Voyage and pricy dinner experience Mamma Mia! The Party. But sometimes, the oldies really are the goodies. Stage musical Mamma Mia! has been running for decades, and it's a heartwarming slice of storytelling that’ll warm your cockles, and send you and your Mum out singing into the night.
While you shouldn’t wait for just one day a year to shower your mum with love and appreciation, you’ll definitely be in the doghouse if you forget to make her feel special on Mother’s Day (Sunday March 15 2026). Keep yourself in her good books and (as well as a little present and card) treat your ma to a wholesome day out at one of London’s top mum-friendly events.
There are loads of lovely afternoon teas across the city this time of year that’ll put a smile of her face. Or you could take her on a stroll around some of London’s prettiest shops, take in some culture at one of the best current art exhibitions or sit back and watch a fab new theatre production. Personally, I like to take my mum to a cosy restaurant for a fancy meal – a tasty Sunday lunch hasn’t failed me yet. Check out our top picks for the best events to take the most important woman in your life this Mother’s Day 2026.
