Looking for something special to show Mum how much she means to you? Look no further than Stoke-on-Trent City Centre. Though shops and restaurants may be closed due to lockdown, there’s lots of ways you can still support our high street from home and find that special and unique item or experience sure to make her smile!
Piccadilly in the Cultural Quarter is home to plenty of amazing restaurants that offer collection and delivery including Klay, NØRTH, The Corner, Peter's Tavern, and Slamwich Club.
Or how about The Quarter, where you can treat Mum to Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea delivered straight to your Mum’s front door, or Zest Bistro who have a special Mother’s Day brunch menu on offer.
Elsewhere in the City Centre, we have tasty eateries from Roberto’s Pizza House, Chiquito, Burger Priest, Little Dessert Shop, Nando’s and Portofino’s that can cook up dishes worthy of the best Mum in the world, for collection or delivery.
Take a look at the full list of food and drink venues in the City Centre offering take-out here.
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 (closing down sale) for a glitzy night out, sandals from Clarks for some summer style or trainers from Schuh for a Mum-on-the-go.
You can’t book quite yet, but how about – when COVID takes a hike - taking Mum on an Emma Bridgewater factory tour to see the traditional skills and craftsmanship that goes into every piece of Emma Bridgewater pottery. You’ll be able to 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. If you can’t wait for a bit of Emma in your life, you can purchase personalised kitschy Mother’s Day gifts from the website.
Alternatively, though you can’t physically meander around the many collections and displays at Potteries Museum and Art Gallery right now, you and Mum can settle down with a brew, fire up the laptop and digitally wander through their informative website, learning all about local history, ceramics, archaeology, fine art and natural sciences. Plus they have a beautiful range of cards, including ones designed by Pam Peters which included a glass keepsake - and they're 20% off until Sunday 14 March. Take a look here.
Head to Lush's website for the ultimate selection of homemade smellies, soaps, lotions and balms in a variety of lovely scents that will have Mum smelling and feeling wonderful. Superdrug and Boots have a great online range too.
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.
Now we’d prefer for you to spend your money in the City Centre and keep it local of course, but if Mum’s a sucker for sun (that's one thing we can't deliver on here) or a culture vulture and in desperate need of a holiday after the last 12 months (we all are!), take a look at the fab deals at Polka Dot Travel, TUI and Hays Travel. Their doors might be closed but their websites and phonelines are open.
Sometimes it’s the little things that mean the most. A stroll around the beautiful Hanley Park, spending quality time together (if you’re in the same household/support bubble of course) could mean the world to Mum.
With The Potteries Centre - the city’s largest shopping centre with over 80 stores including the likes of fashion brands Pandora, Primark and H&M, a plethora of small businesses selling from quirky clothing and accessories to artisan gifts like Vision Personalised Gifts, AND a selection of stores stocking decorative homeware like Wilko and Next, the City Centre is the perfect items place to treat Mum. Shops might not be opening for a little while longer, but many of them have websites that you can order items from. Check out the full list of retailers here.
If Mum’s mad for musicals and totally into theatre, there’s THREE to choose from: Regent Theatre, Victoria Hall and Mitchell Arts Centre have extensive line ups spanning everything you could want from stand-up comedy, music concerts and West-End shows, to musicals, operas and so much more – and it looks like the show may well go on from May!

No matter her favourite genre, bookstores like WH Smith, The Works or Waterstones will stock the perfect books to be delivered straight to your door to give Mum the gift of quality ‘me-time’.
If Mum values quality time spent together over everything else, and if you're like me, where memories of being a child and baking cakes together fills you with that warm, wholesome feeling, how about stocking up on the baking essentials – like eggs, milk, butter, flour, baking powder – when you're out doing the weekly shop at any of our supermarkets including Tesco, Sainsburys, The Food Warehouse, Marks and Spencer, Iceland or B&M.
A beautiful Mum deserves a beautiful bunch of flowers! Head to the market stall located on Upper Market Square to pick up a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
Card Planet on Parliament Row offers a selection of decadant gift bags including chocolates, pamper sets, novelty mugs, flowers and more. Check out their range which can be ordered for collection or deliver.
