Upgrade your Chocs at Hot Chocolaterie
A box of Milk Tray from the Tesco is alright but the additional effort of mounting the steep summit of Hall Bank will reward you with some seriously amazing chocolates!
Opening in 2023, Hot Chocolaterie has already built up a loyal fan base. Using only the best ingredients and a passion for chocolate, this could be a good time to discover their range of deluxe creations.
Buxton’s finest florists

Peak Flowers (located at the bottom of Holker Road) can offer hand-tied made to order bouquets and also have a colourful selection of potted plants. They offer local and national delivery.
If you want to bag some extra mummy points, those in the know will head to Renn Floristry, based in the very epicentre of luxury Buxton: The Buxton Crescent Spa Hotel. Here you will get a personal touch and some genuine artistry.
Failing that try other local hero The Spa Town Florist – a fully mobile florist (no shop).
Buy a gift with a difference
Isla in the Cavendish Arcade is a cornucopia of design-led gift ideas, stylish homewares and original artwork.
If you’re mum is a domestic goddess, treat her to a kitchen gadget – there’s a wide range at Hargreaves & Sons on Spring Gardens.
Queenie’s Tea Room & Gift Shop have a lovely range of quirky trinkets and gifts – and you can stay for a cuppa on your visit if you wish.
Mother’s Day lunch
An established method of spoiling mum is to take her out for dinner and Buxton offers more choices than you can shake a baguette at. A superb Sunday roast choice in town is Lubens on Hall Bank who will be serving traditional Sunday lunch with a free glass of fizz for all Mums. The Old Sun Inn on the High Street also serves up a mighty Sunday Roast.

Mother’s Day Sunday Roast at The Old Clubhouse: Delight in handmade Yorkshire puddings, golden roast potatoes, flavourful seasonal vegetables, creamy cauliflower cheese, and more, all generously drizzled with savoury gravy. The Old Clubhouse reopened in November 2024 following a substantial six-figure investment aimed at revitalising its historic charm with fresh, modern touches, giving the pub a new lease of life.
The Chakra Lounge on Spring Gardens is always a great choice if you prefer a lighter lunch too, in particular if you’re looking for gluten free or lots or vege options.
For for a wide selection of lunch offerings with a continental twist, head to Sacro Lounge.
Book in advance is advised.
Enjoy an indulgent Afternoon tea
Is there a better way to spend Mother’s Day than with a delicious Afternoon Tea? Enjoy the decadent surroundings of this Grade I listed building. Afternoon Tea at Buxton Crescent Hotel is served in the beautifully decorated restaurant, presented on a traditional 3-tier stand with freshly cut finger sandwiches such as Honey glazed roast ham with sun blush tomato mayonnaise, Snowdonia Black Bomber cheese with classic pickle relish Cucumber and cream cheese Oak smoked salmon with crème fraiche. Warm scones are served with jam and clotted cream along with an array of sweet treats. There’s a wide range of teas to choose from too such as Earl Grey, Lapsang Souchong, Green tea and Assam. Sparkling afternoon tea allows you to mark the occasion with a glass of bubbles alongside your sweet and savoury treats.
Alternatively the Palace Hotel offer Afternoon Tea in their conservatory for a very reasonable price.
Have a spa day
It’s amazing how many people still haven’t put the spa in spa town yet. Re-opened in 2021, the stunning five star hotel Buxton Crescent Hotel has a menu of treatments, and access to eccentric facilities like an ice cave and a rooftop pool (read our review here).
Let’s also not forget stalwart Devonshire Spa, based at the Dome in Buxton. Less gimmicks and more affordable, this destination offers the pampering mum deserves. If you can’t get a booking on the day, they do offer gift vouchers. Blokes may feel a bit weird taking their mum to a spa but there’s no reason why they should; read our report on a man going to the Devonshire Spa here.
Get Mum in a Helicopter
In case you haven’t already noticed, just beyond Buxton lies the UK’s oldest national park, the Peak District and what better way to see the spectacular landscape than from the air? There are local companies that do pick ups from nearby including this one: peakdistricthelicopters.co.uk/product/helicopter-experience
Don’t Get Mum in a Helicopter
The helicopter suggestion may be a bit silly and expensive for some people but it does highlight the viable option of the great outdoors, which you don’t actually need any money to enjoy if you do it on foot. See our list of best hikes and walks in Buxton local walks here:
Another option that costs £0 is to get round your mum’s gaff and get the marigolds on. Most mums would love chocolates, flowers, getting taken out to dinner, a stunning piece of artwork, some spa treatment, going to a show, a helicopter flight, etc. but at the end of the day, they may just want a chance to put their feet up with a cuppa! If you go for any of the options above and have feedback, we’d love to hear from you – comment on our socials 💐
