# Days until Mother's Day 2027 (UK)

> How many days until Mother's Day 2027 in the UK? Countdown to Mothering Sunday, why the date moves each year, and WhatsApp reminders for the card, flowers and lunch.

It falls on Sunday, March 7, 2027. Mothering Sunday is the fourth Sunday of Lent, three weeks before Easter Sunday, so it moves with Easter.

Because it follows Easter, the UK date can be anywhere from early March to early April, and it is never the same as the US date in May. That is why cards bought abroad and calendar apps set to the wrong country get it wrong.
In 2027 it falls on 7 March and in 2028 on 26 March. Restaurants for Sunday lunch book up a fortnight ahead.

## The next few years

- 2027: Sunday, March 7, 2027
- 2028: Sunday, March 26, 2028
