Treat Mum to something Special this Mother’s Day 💟
With Mother’s Day just around the corner, we have been thinking about all the special ways you can spoil Mum. Check out some of our tips!
🌿For the Adventurous Mum
Take her on a scenic hinterland hike or book a thrill seeking adventure tour with Wilderness Adventures and gift an unforgettable experience.
🎨 For the Creative Mum
Book her into a local workshop, whether its pottery, painting, beading or something different, find something that allows Mum time to slow down and create something special. Better yet, book a spot for yourself and enjoy it together.
🍜 For the Foodie Mum
Treat her to a long lunch or a cosy dinner at her favourite place, or a local spot she’s been wanting to try.
🛍 Shop local for Mum
It’s no secret that Lismore offers unique and creative shopping experiences. Wander through our local retailers and discover something truly unique. Or gift her a calming treatment or pamper session and let her truly unwind.
Lismore has something for every Mum this Mother’s Day, let’s show them how much we love them and make this one to remember.

🌺LEST WE FORGET🌺
They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them.
Lest we forget.
