Mother's Day at Lewisham

Mother’s Day is the perfect excuse to slow down and spend some proper time together.

Whether you’re celebrating Mum, Nan, your step-mum, an auntie or another important female figure in your life, Lewisham has everything you need to plan a thoughtful day she’ll genuinely love.

From feel-good family moments to sweet treats and thoughtful gifts, here’s how to make it a Mother’s Day to remember.

Fun she’ll actually love

This year, think beyond the flowers and plan a full day out together. Mother’s Day isn’t just about presents – it’s about making memories.

Start the day with a relaxed coffee catch-up at Costa Coffee, Starbucks or Muffin Break. Take your time, swap stories and enjoy a relaxed start to the day before heading off for some family fun.

If you’ve got little ones (or big kids!) in tow, a visit to Gootopia is guaranteed to raise a smile. It’s messy fun without the mess at home – and a brilliant way to get everyone involved.

Prefer something a little calmer?

Pop into Waterstones and pick out a new read to enjoy together, or let the kids choose a book they can gift to mum with a handwritten note.

Wherever the day takes you, don’t forget to capture it. Take photos, snap the coffee cheers, document the slime creations and grab a family selfie at lunch. It’s those little in-between moments that become the best memories.

Lunch made special

Nothing says celebration quite like sitting down for a meal together.

Whether she’s craving flavour-packed favourites from Chopstix or a Southern-inspired feast at Popeyes, Lewisham has plenty of options for a relaxed family lunch. Prefer something lighter? Grab coffee and cake, share sweet treats and turn a quick bite into quality time.

Make it fun – let the kids ‘host’ the lunch, choose the spot, or even write their own mini Mother’s Day menus. It’s all about enjoying the moment and making her feel celebrated.

Gifts she’ll adore

Looking for something she’ll treasure? From stylish wardrobe updates to beauty must-haves, you’ll find plenty of inspiration in-centre.

Help her refresh her spring wardrobe at H&M or M&S, whether she’s into effortless everyday staples or standout seasonal pieces. If she loves a little luxury, The Fragrance Shop is perfect for picking out a new signature scent.

For beauty lovers, Boots has skincare, makeup and self-care treats to help her enjoy a little well-earned pampering at home. Or why not book her in for some me-time at Muskaan Beauty?

It doesn’t have to be extravagant – a sparkly trinket from Lovisa will mean much more than a real diamond if it’s been chosen with love.

Share something sweet

No Mother’s Day is complete without a treat.

Head to Krispy Kreme for a box of her favourite doughnuts or pick up something indulgent from M&S to enjoy later at home. Whether it’s a classic chocolate selection or something a little more decadent, it’s the perfect way to round off the day.

Bonus points if the kids present dessert with a homemade card!

Time well spent

The best gift you can give this Mother’s Day? Time. Time for laughter. Time for stories. Time for uninterrupted conversations.

Lewisham Shopping Centre makes it easy to plan a day that works for every generation – from little ones to grandparents – so everyone can be part of the celebration.

However you choose to mark the occasion, make it meaningful, make it memorable and make it time well spent together.
