Not-so-Mummsy Stuff...
Drive In Film Club

Afforable Art Fair

Catch the last day of the Affordable Art Fair in Battersea. It's great way to view art from over 100 galleries under one roof and with prices ranging from £40 to £400 you could even pick up a fabulous piece of art for your mum.
Starfish Breakfast Run

If it turns out that running wasn't your mum's idea of fun you can butter her up at the post run breakfast picnic.
