Mother’s Day (Mothering Sunday) in England in 2026 is on Sunday 15 March.

Quick Scoop: When is Mother’s Day in England?

  • In England (and the rest of the UK), Mother’s Day is celebrated on Mothering Sunday , not the U.S. date in May.
  • In 2026, that falls on Sunday 15 March 2026.
  • It’s tied to the church calendar and is always the fourth Sunday of Lent , so the date changes every year.

A bit of context

Mother’s Day in England is an observance rather than a bank holiday, so shops, schools and workplaces generally stay open as normal. Many people mark the day with cards, flowers, breakfast in bed, or a Sunday roast to say thank you to mums and mother figures.

In short: if you’re in England and planning ahead, circle Sunday 15 March 2026 on your calendar for Mother’s Day.
