At Midsummer Place, head to The Boulevard for a great choice of food, from Panda Woo and Souv-Lucky Day Greek Gyros to House of Sliders, Jerk N Rum, and many more. You can also relax with a coffee at

⛷️Thrill-Seeking Mum? Head to Snozone or iFLY

For mum's who love an adrenaline rush, why not take her for an action-packed experience at

Snozone, where you can hit the indoor slopes for skiing or snowboarding? If heights are more her thing, try an indoor skydive at
