2:10pm Friday 8th March 2013 in Freetime By Rebecca Cain

1. WITH Mother's Day on Sunday here are some ideas to treat your mum. Make Mum's Day at Hughenden Manor where entry is free for mums to the National Trust property. Children can create a special gift for their mum and there is no need to book. The Manor is open from 11am to 4pm. Normal admission tickets apply for other entry which is £7.70 for adults for the whole property, £3.85 for children and National Trust members go free.

2. THERE are also lots of treats for mums at another National Trust venue at Cliveden, near Maidenhead on Sunday, where there is also free entry for mums. See the magnificent gardens whilst children can join in the craft workshop to make a special gift for their mum (£2 per child plus usual admission). There’s a further treat in store thanks to Daws Hill Vineyard in Radnage, Buckinghamshire who will be offering free sparkling wine tasting from midday. Families eager to explore can pick up the free seasonal trail to discover the grounds together whilst Cliveden’s giant maze and the storybook themed play area provide further fun for youngsters. Cliveden is open daily, from 10am to 5.30pm. Tickets are £8.60 for adults, £4.30 for children and free for National Trust Members and mums.

3. CHILDREN can also make a gorgeous gift for their mum at The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre in Great Missenden on Sunday from 11am to 5pm. Drop in throughout the day.
