Hillsborough Castle & Gardens – Mums Go Free Weekend
Take a leisurely springtime stroll with your mum or little one through 100 acres of stunning gardens, where vibrant daffodils and crocuses signal the arrival of the season. Pause to enjoy the colours and fragrances of the Bulbs and Blooms display, then reward yourselves with coffee and cake — or a special Mothering Sunday lunch — at the café or one of the local Royal Hillsborough eateries. And to make the day even more special, Mums go free all weekend, making it the perfect excuse to unwind, celebrate, and create beautiful memories together.
