Take your mum, nan, favourite mother or mother-figure out this Sunday to celebrate Mothering Sunday 2023.

This year, Mothering Sunday in the UK is on 19 March, and a host of local venues are getting ready to make the most of a busy weekend celebrating mothers across the county.

Mothering Sunday has been celebrated as far back as the 16th century as a day of worship during Lent, the Christian fasting period. Incorporating the day as Mother's Day is a recent addition, but it seems that the nation jumps at every chance to celebrate our mothers.

Read on to find out what is going on in and around Rutland this Mother's Day...
