Mums are always there for us, what better way to show how much you appreciate everything mums do than by treating her to something special this Mother's Day? Here are some treat ideas, especially for mums this Mother's Day to celebrate in Edinburgh.
Ideas To Treat Mum This Mother's Day In Edinburgh
The historic Scottish capital which dates back to before the 7th century AD, has something for everyone throughout the year including festivals, theatre performances, shopping, Michelin-star restaurants, and of course some of the best museums, galleries, and places of interest including Edinburgh Castle, Palace of Holyroodhouse, Royal Yacht Britannia, Mary King's Close and so much more! An incredible city for festival and theatre breaks, spa breaks, romantic weekend getaways, and special treats for Mums this Mother's Day.
Mother's Day Afternoon Tea
The Prestonfield House, the luxury James Thomson 5-star hotel is a hidden gem located within the city. Surrounded by acres of gardens and woodland, it is a tranquil and impressive setting to enjoy a rich and regal afternoon tea. The country estate is only a five-minute walk from Edinburgh's old town, with its historical exterior you might think you were dreaming upon entering through the doors! The interior is rich, opulent, and theatrical.
This indulgent, decadent Prestonfield House afternoon tea, is a perfect fit this Mother's Day.
Pampering Mum With A Spa
Kimpton Charlotte Square Hotel located in Edinburgh's New Town is a world away from the city's hustle and bustle. The newly renovated interior blends handsome woods, plush fabrics, and rich pops of color—and, yes, just a touch of tartan—to luxurious effect. The magnetic modern urban inner courtyard oasis is perfect for a cocktail or two and the acclaimed Middle Eastern restaurant - BABA is well worth a visit!
The ultimate indulgence is Spa at Charlotte Square, where treatments incorporate natural, organic ingredients and products by luxurious skincare lines. Soothing massages feature seaweed-based products by ishga and luxury organic CBD products. There is a variety of signature spa packages available including music therapy, treatments, and lunch at BABA.
What's On This Mother's Day
Edinburgh is well known for its theatres. Standing on Edinburgh's longest continuous theatre site, the Festival Theatre was designed as Scotland's premier dance and opera house in 1994 and now offers a variety of world-class productions across all art forms. After a raving review in London's West End, HAMILTON, the story of America then, told by America now, featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and Broadway is coming to the Festival Theatre. HAMILTON has taken the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton and created a revolutionary moment in theatre—a musical that has had a profound impact on culture, politics, and education.
With book, music, and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler, and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire. HAMILTON is based on Ron Chernow’s acclaimed biography. The HAMILTON creative team previously collaborated on the Tony Award®-Winning Best Musical In the Heights.
HAMILTON features scenic design by David Korins, costume design by Paul Tazewell, lighting design by Howell Binkley, sound design by Nevin Steinberg, and hair and wig design by Charles G. LaPointe. HAMILTON is produced in the UK by Jeffrey Seller, Sander Jacobs, Jill Furman, The Public Theater and Cameron Mackintosh
