2 February 2010 Choose Eastbourne as the premier destination to whisk Mum away this Mother’s Day with a choice of pampering weekends on offer in the UK’s sunniest resort plus an evening with a difference as the town prepares to solve a murder.
Eastbourne’s hotels and guesthouses are offering special all in one packages for Mothering Sunday including flowers and chocolates and mini pampering sessions, making it easy to treat Mum from 12-14 March.
From a credit crunch busting two night stay at the contemporary Langtons Guest House on Eastbourne seafront for just £109 per couple, to a retreat at the resort’s Grade II listed regency villa, the Guesthouse East, including mini facial or massage for £129 per person, Eastbourne makes for an indulgent weekend.
Or for those looking to book a treat with a twist, Eastbourne’s Mowbray Guest Accommodation is hosting a murder mystery evening with half price tickets for Mums, as guests are invited to help solve the murder of the Duke of Yorkie.
Eastbourne Borough Council Cabinet Member for Tourism, Cllr Susan Morris said “We have some wonderful packages available for Mother’s Day this year, with Eastbourne the perfect choice for a special weekend treat. Whether daughters are planning a girly weekend packed with pampering treats or husbands are planning a break for all the family, Eastbourne is the perfect setting for time out this spring.”
Families looking for something different to do with mum for Mother’s Day weekend should head to the Observatory Science Centre at Herstmonceux for an evening moonwatch. Using some of the country’s largest and most historic telescopes, visitors will be able to admire the night sky, with children admitted free when accompanied by a full paying adult.
Eastbourne also offers inspiring Mother’s Day gifts, from tips to swot up in the kitchen with new cookery demonstrations to a once in a lifetime experience with paragliding over the South Downs; VisitEastbourne.com’s online shop offers a variety of ideas.
Book Mum a place on the Perfect Pasta course at the Culinary Arts Studio on 17 March where she can learn the art of perfect, home made pasta in an evening demonstration, or buy an original piece of artwork by Eastbourne artists Mary Stubberfield or Margaret Worster.
