Warning: This itinerary may cause tears of joy.
Mother’s Day is just around the corner and let’s be honest – your mum deserves more than just a last-minute bunch of flowers from the supermarket. This year, ditch the generic gifts and give her what she really wants: quality time, pampering and a little bit of indulgence. Whether it’s your mum, nan, or any special mother figure in your life, Manchester Arndale has everything you need to perfect Mother’s Day weekend celebration.
Caffeine & Catch-Ups
The Arndale isn’t just about shopping (although, trust us, we’ve got that covered too). It’s a full-on experience, with everything from leisure destinations to hands-on workshops and even complimentary treats. But first – coffee.
With spots like Black Sheep Coffee, Pret, Starbucks, Costa and local independents like Michael’s Coffee House and Coffee Break, you’re spoilt for choice. Our pick? Michael’s limited-edition specials: an Iced Hazelnut Praline Latte, a Lotus White Hot Chocolate (Oat Milk Vegan), or an Iced Matcha with Coconut Milk (Vegan). Perfect for anyone looking for vegan food in Manchester.

Give Mum a Glow Up
Let’s be real – every mum deserves to be pampered and what better way than with a Space NK Makeup Masterclass? Treat your mum (and yourself) to a 45-minute beauty lesson where beauty experts will teach you the secrets to flawless make-up. Whether she wants to refresh her routine or you both fancy a glam-up together, this is the perfect way to treat her.
Sessions are £45 each which is fully redeemable against products purchased on the day so she’ll even get to take home some new beauty goodies – win-win!

Chocolate Heaven
What’s better than eating chocolate? Eating five different kinds of chocolate! Enter Hotel Chocolat’s Love Match Workshop – a 30-minute guided tasting experience where you’ll sample multiple different recipes and discover your personal chocolate flavour profile. Is she a dark and mysterious type or a fruity and fun kind of woman? There’s only one way to find out.
Book for Mother’s Day weekend (28th & 29th March) for an extra-special experience.

Expect state-of-the-art Ten Pin and Duck Pin bowling, plus ice-free curling, shuffleboard, tech darts, batting cages, air hockey, arcade games, karaoke booths and even mini golf. Whether she’s got a hidden talent for bowling or just wants to belt out some karaoke classics, this is the place to let loose and have a laugh together.
