A weekend for mum is promised at Penshurst Place.

On Saturday, March 25 children will be able to craft their own gift and hand made cards in the Old Coach House during which mum can explore the gardens and its spring flowers.

While a bespoke Mothering Sunday lunch is being offered to visitors in The Garden Restaurant on Sunday, March 26 together with The Pantry offering a selection of cakes and hot drinks which can be enjoyed as little ones run around the neighbouring adventure playground.

Craft activities are included within the price of a standard garden admission ticket and available between noon and 4pm on Saturday.

Carvery lunch is on a first come, first served basis. For further details visit Penshurst Place.

Mr Bloom's Nursery Live, Orchard Theatre, Dartford

Mother's Day with very small children can be a tricky one if the weather is poor or sitting in restaurants for long periods of time is something they've had a lot of practice at just yet!

Dartford's Orchard Theatre could have just the alternative outing with popular family show Mr Bloom's Nursery Live coming to the stage on Mothering Sunday and Monday, March 27.

Featuring all of the much loved elements of the TV show, Mr Bloom Ben Faulks will be joined by all his gardening friends: Margaret, Joan, Colin, Raymond and Sebastian, the lovable Wee MacGregors, and not forgetting Mr Bloom’s trusty machine ‘The Compostarium’. You will also be able to sing along to all your favourite songs!
