Superbowl

Have some fun

If you want to be less traditional, why not take your mum out for a day of activities to make it memorable. There are plenty of things to do that will suit different interests. Explore the history and culture of Barnsley at The Experience Barnsley Museum and Discovery Centre, located in our fabulous Town Hall. Or admire stunning artwork at The Cooper Gallery, located on Church Street.

Alternatively, why not challenge her to a game? Visit the Retrodome arcade on Upper New Street or play a game of bowling at Superbowl in The Glass Works.

Please note that both Experience Barnsley and Cooper Gallery are closed on Sundays, therefore you’ll need to treat your mum a little earlier than Mother’s Day for these activities!
