00:00 Traditionally, Mothering Sunday is a day honouring mother churches, the church where one is baptised
00:07 and becomes a child of the church. For many, Mothering Sunday is a chance to recognise
00:13 and celebrate mothers and mother figures, as a day of appreciation. But how will locals
00:20 mark the day? Let's find out.
00:22 No, because we're always away at that time of the year, but we celebrate through WhatsApp
00:28 and that. Too commercialised and too expensive. I like simple Mothering Sundays, where children
00:34 just say, "Hi, Mum, love you."
00:36 Falwell is a unique place, and when the weather's good, it's fantastic. The food is a good price,
00:43 and it's imaginative. And the same with the grain barge, it's a novelty, and the staff
00:49 are fantastic in both places. They treat us oldies as very special.
00:55 The Clifton Thai and Bengals down in Stoke Hill. I like the food, Thai food and Indian
01:03 food.
01:04 All over the city of Bristol, there are events to celebrate Mothering Sunday. Summerhouse
01:10 Flowers are hosting a Mother's Day flower workshop. Learn the art of flower arranging
01:16 and create a stunning bouquet using a selection of seasonal, fresh blooms. The workshop leader
01:23 will guide you through the process, from conditioning the flowers to creating your very own hand-tied
01:30 bouquet, sharing tips and tricks along the way.
01:34 Aerospace are hosting a special Mother's Day lunch under Concord. As well as your lunch,
01:40 enjoy the fantastic family day out. Step on board Concord and explore a century of Bristol's
01:46 aviation achievements and learn about the people who made them happen.
01:52 Clifton Observatory is hosting a luxury afternoon tea. Whether the maternal figure in your life
01:58 is your mother, aunt, grandma or that one mum style friend, they all deserve to be celebrated
02:05 with Prosecco and delectable assortment of treats.
02:10 Or, if you like to be outdoors, Westonburt Arboretum is hosting a guided walk where you
02:15 can discover the fascinating world of wildflowers and other flora at Westonburt Arboretum and
02:23 uncover the many uses, stories and traditions associated with each one.
02:28 What does Mothering Sunday mean to the people of Bristol? Let's find out.
02:34 It's a historic festival exported from the UK to the States and they've made a big thing
02:41 of it. It's come back here. I like the sentiment but I don't like the commercialisation of
02:48 it. So I think as a day for all children to make a fuss of their mother and celebrate
02:55 and appreciate her.
02:58 Whatever you do this Mothering Sunday, there is something for everyone in the city of Bristol.
