What to do on Mother's Day in Sydney?

Have laugh with your Mum

Mother's Day is on Sunday, the 9th May. So you could have the last laugh at the Sydney Comedy Festival

Sydney Comedy Festival - 19 April to 9 May 2010

You gotta be joking. This is a great event to book into. A cheer up, have a few drinks and laugh yourself into a better frame of mind. Sydney is a wonderful place to live and visit for hundreds of reasons and for all seasons. Now its time to have some fun.

Take your Mum for a run - 9th May

If she says you give her the run around then prove her right. For more than a decade, the Mother’s Day Classic fun run and walk has provided communities with a great way to celebrate Mother’s Day and raise funds for breast cancer research.

Take your Mum to an Art Gallery

The Biennale of Sydney starts just after Mothers Day on the 12th May. So why not include a promise in her card to take her out to lunch after you have been to one Sydney's top Art Galleries. The Biennale of Sydney is Australia's largest visual arts event that showcases the freshest and most provocative contemporary art from Australia and around the world. During the exhibition, a program of public tours, international guest lectures, artist talks, film screenings and special events are held across the city – and most events are free.

Take your Mum out for breakfast - kinda :)

How does a Champaign Breakfast sound? Not bad? What about a little Balloon ride before then? Tell your mum you are taking her out for a breakfast and then watch her float off into the distance. It will be a Mother's Day surprise she will never forget.

Take your Mum out for a Serious Long Lunch

Take your mum out for the a serious long lunch, the Lovedale Long Lunch. Sure its a week after the official Mothers Day but I doubt she will object when you tell her what's in store. Lovedale, in the Hunter Valley, is a premium wine producing area and tourist attraction. Now in its 16th year, the Lovedale Long Lunch includes seven wineries and vineyards.
