Top hotels and restaurants in Coventry and Warwickshire are pulling out all the stops for Mother’s Day in 2022.
Traditionally one of the busiest days in the year for the hospitality industry, Mothering Sunday falls on Sunday March 27 this year.
Members of Shakespeare’s England, the Destination Management Organisation for South Warwickshire and the surrounding areas, are celebrating the occasion with a range of special Mother’s Day afternoon tea experiences, Sunday lunches and family days out.
Many venues across the county have gone out of their way to include extra thoughtful touches, including gifts for every mum such as a boxed orchid head, to a complimentary glass of Champagne and live entertainment.
Helen Peters, Chief Executive of Shakespeare’s England, said: “Lots of hotels and restaurants in our county are beginning to enjoy a return to pre-pandemic levels.
“Mother’s Day is a wonderful weekend for families to celebrate a parent, grandparent or mother-in-law. We feel it is also very important to highlight the amazing hard work that goes-on-behind the scenes within hospitality businesses in providing impeccable, friendly and professional service to guests, particularly after the strains Covid-19 has placed on the industry.
“With bookings getting increasingly busier, it is best to book as early as possible to avoid disappointment.”
