This Sunday is the day dedicated to celebrating the leading lady in our lives: our mums. Here at JET, we think your mum deserves to be spoiled, so we’ve put together a list of places around the UK to treat your mum this Mother’s Day – grab your car keys!
The Outdoorsy Mum
These options are for the mums who like to smell the fresh air, feel the wind in her hair and get closer to nature. From one of the best beaches in England on the South Coast to a National Park all the way up in bonny Scotland, the possibilities here are endless.

The Shopaholic Mum
If you’re always losing your mum in shopping centres or having to drag her away from markets, this one’s for you. Take a road trip to the Manchester Trafford centre and indulge in a little retail therapy in one of the biggest shopping centres in the UK, or class it up in the luxe surroundings of Westfield London.
