Things to do this Mother’s Day in Chester
There is no shortage of superb restaurants to treat your mum to this year in Chester. Mother’s Day in Chester will be awash with special deals making everyone’s mum feel special. I’ve booked at Greenhouse in Rufus Court (free glass of fizz). I’m not working on March the 15th this year, I’m spoiling Pam because she’s the best. Although there is a Chester Walking Food Tour running on Saturday the 14th – your mum would LOVE it!

You might want to spend the whole day entertaining your mum! Maybe take in a show or performance in the evening. So, what’s on in Chester?
There is always Chester Zoo, the UK’s best zoo (TripAdvisors ~3 zoo in Europes) and an absolute joy. Especially if your mum is also a grandma, where better than Chester Zoo to keep everyone happy? I really need to go, it’s been too long and I want to see the new snow leopards!
I tried this for the first time with my friend and 13-year-old god daughter the other week – Breakout. Escape rooms were never for me. Now I’d say if your mum loves solving puzzles, spending family time and howling with laughter and frustration? This is the BEST thing to do on Mother’s Day in Chester!

I’ll tell you what my Mother’s Day in Chester looks like after we’ve filled up on tapas. One-time Chester busker, Philip Chidell, is performing at the Town Hall twice on March the 15th. After reports of how wonderful he was at Christmas in the cathedral, I knew my mum would love to see him. She is a huge fan of classical music, especially the Violin. Philip is classically trained and has an orchestra performing with him, one he put together himself. The tickets are £35 at the Visitors centre. I know with Philip being local Chester musician done good; they are in very high demand!
I hope you and your mum have a wonderful Mother’s Day in Chester if that’s where you end up this year.
