Celebrate your mum with a feel-good bottle painting workshop on 13th March at Banyan in the Corn Exchange. You’ll be guided step-by-step by a professional from Paint Away Events as you paint and personalise a bottle of Whispering Angel or Moët that you get to take away at the end of the evening. The event will also include two free drinks provided during the session so you can toast to mum while you get creative.

Scent-imental
Cedar in the Northern Quarter offers a natural perfume making workshop – a fantastic and unique way for you and your mum to spend meaningful time together. You’ll begin with a gentle introduction to essential oils and different perfume materials, exploring how they smell, how they make you feel, and how scent ties into mood and memory. There are plenty of oils to choose from whether it’s fresh citrus, grounding woods, or soothing florals. You’ll then craft your own roll-on perfume by blending top, middle, and base notes. All materials, guidance, and a cuppa (plus a little fizz if you fancy) are included.
