IT'S  Mother's Day next weekend and restaurants are already booking up.

Here are five great ideas to treat your mum this year...

PROVENCE RESTAURANT

MOTHERS will be spoilt for choice at Provence Restaurant in Westhoughton.

A special menu has been laid on for Sunday, March 31 for a special price.

Starters include everything from a delicious stuffed flatcap mushroom to smoked salmon followed by a choice of dishes for the main course and desserts to suit all palates. And to top off the day, all mums will receive a special gift.

AFTERNOON TEA AT LAST DROP VILLAGE

ANY mum would be delighted to be treated to traditional afternoon tea.

A civilised sip and a delicious cake are among the delights on offer at The Last Drop Hotel and Spa.

It’s the perfect way to indulge mums, and they will also receive a complimentary gift.

The afternoon teas are available between 2pm and 6pm. Children aged 0-4 eat free. Booking is required.

SET MENU AT BELLA ITALIA

BELLA Italia at Middlebrook is laying on a set menu to celebrate the big day.

The restaurant chain is offering diners two courses for £12.99 or three courses for £15.99.

And there is also an opportunity for people to nominate their mum for £2,000 worth of holiday vouchers by entering the Bella Mamma Awards. To find out more, visit www.bellaitalia.co.uk/.

GET CRAFTY

IF you are still stuck for present ideas then what better than making your own?

The Market Place is holding a free craft workshop to give youngsters the chance to do exactly that.

From 11am-4pm on Saturday, children are invited to adorn a plant pot with decorative accessories and fill them with fresh flowers and plants.

A luxurious gift box will also be provided.

ENJOY A BIT OF SOUL

MUSIC is the order of the day at Grappa at The Crofters in Bradshaw.

As well as a special three course menu and a complimentary glass of Prosecco for mums, there will also be live music from Victor Haynes, who is billed as 'Master of Soul'.
