Looking for something special to show Mum how much she means to you? Look no further than Stoke-on-Trent City Centre. Our many shops, cafes, restaurants and venues offer that special and unique item or experience sure to make her smile!

For foodies 

Piccadilly in the Cultural Quarter is home to plenty of amazing restaurants including Klay, NØRTH, The Corner, Peter's Tavern, La Bella Napoli and Slamwich Club, but newcomer bistro and bar Bloom is a beautiful, botanical-themed place to treat Mum to a lunch or evening meal with a complimentary prosecco. 

Or how about The Quarter, where you can treat Mum to a wonderful afternoon of tea, cake and fizz, accompanied by live music from a talented pianist – AND all mums received a pottery keepsake which you can personalise too!

The Hive is a great food and beverage destination too, with restaurants that can transform you to all corners of the globe, from the States (Coast to Coast) and Mexico (Chiquito), to Portugal (Nando’s), Italy (Pizza Express) and Pan Asia (Bon Pan). 

Take a look at the full list of food and drink venues in the City Centre here.

Walking in style

Step to it and find the perfect pair of shoes for Mum whether it’s boots from Brassington’s for ultimate comfort, heels from Debenhams for a glitzy night out, sandals from Clarks for some summer style or trainers from Schuh for a Mum-on-the-go. 

For the artsy Mum

Take Mum on an Emma Bridgewater factory tour to see the traditional skills and craftsmanship that goes into every piece of Emma Bridgewater pottery. Next, try your hand at decorating your own piece in the studio before enjoying an indulgent afternoon tea for two served on an Emma Bridgewater cake stand and celebrate with a glass of fizz. 

Alternatively, meander around the many collections and displays at Potteries Museum and Art Gallery; learn about local history, ceramics, archaeology, fine art and natural sciences before relaxing in the café. 

Give the gift of relaxation 

Head to Lush for the ultimate selection of homemade smellies, soaps, lotions and balms in a variety of lovely scents that will have Mum smelling wonderful.

Sparkles and shine for a special lady

Jewellery shops, we got ‘em! Why not splash out on a trinket from one of the many jewellers in the city centre. Goodwins Jewellers, CJ Skelhorne, and H Samuel are just a few examples but you can see the full list here.
