MOTHER’S Day is right around the corner and across the county people are looking for the best ways to celebrate the special women in their lives.

Whether it’s your mum, wife or sister, we all know a great mother out there.

If you’re struggling for things to do, and don’t want to just go with what everyone else is doing, Jamie Walker has five great ideas for how to give your mum a Mother’s Day treat.

Mother’s Day roast at Wakehurst

Wakehurst Place, Haywards Heath

If your mum is a fan of grandeur and fantastic scenery then a trip to Wakehurst is a great way to spend the day.

You can take a stroll around the building and its beautiful botanic gardens or the nature reserve and woodlands.

After that you can take a seat in the spectacular 16th century mansion for a three-course meal.

There are a variety of lunchtime dishes to choose from, including, of course, a full Sunday roast.

With services starting from noon there is plenty of time for a lie in before you make your way to lunch.

Prices start at £24.95 for adults and £12.95 for under 12s.

Visitors for this event must also hold a valid day ticket or membership.
