Take advantage of some motherly love this weekend with our pick of 4 family days out where mums go free this Sunday.

Night & Day Markets at The Bond Company event venue in Digbeth
Mothers who want to go wild (and free) today should head to Night & Day for a sizzling array of street food, specialist cocktail bars, a vast market of 20 local arts and food exhibitors, a vintage clothes bus and chilled out Sunday sounds from DJ Don Letts (along with free kids entertainment, under 12’s are also free). And don’t let the weather deter, the stage, dance floor and bar are all inside whilst the large outdoor area is heated, covered and decorated in a suitably celebratory botanical theme.

Botanical Gardens, Edgbaston, Birmingham For a more genteel paced botanical-themed day, Birmingham’s Botanical gardens are also offering mums free entry for today.
