When is Mother’s Day 2027 in Ireland and the UK?
Mother’s Day is on Sunday 7 March 2027 in Ireland and the UK.
It falls early in 2027, so anyone planning a personalised or printed gift will need to begin in January.
Upcoming Mother’s Day dates
| Year | Date |
|---|---|
| 2027 | Sunday 7 March |
| 2028 | Sunday 26 March |
| 2029 | Sunday 11 March |
| 2030 | Sunday 31 March |
Why does Mother’s Day move each year?
Mother’s Day in Ireland and the UK takes place on the fourth Sunday of Lent, three weeks before Easter Sunday.
Easter has a different date each year, so Mothering Sunday moves with it. It can fall near the start of March or close to the end of the month.
Is Mother’s Day on the same date in Ireland and the UK?
Yes. Ireland and the UK celebrate Mother’s Day on the same Sunday.
The United States, Canada and several other countries celebrate it on the second Sunday in May. In 2027, that falls on 9 May.
If members of your family live abroad, make sure everyone knows which date the gift is being made for.
When should I order a printed Mother’s Day gift?
Allow at least three weeks for a printed gift to be produced and delivered.
For Mother’s Day on 7 March 2027, aim to place the order by Sunday 14 February at the latest.
If several people are contributing, begin about six weeks before Mother’s Day:
| When | What to do |
|---|---|
| By 24 January | Start the gift and invite everyone |
| By 7 February | Collect the recordings, messages and photos |
| By 14 February | Place the print order |
| 7 March | Mother’s Day |
A six-week start gives people two weeks to contribute and leaves a minimum of three weeks for printing and delivery.
A Mother’s Day gift made by the family
Ask each person to record a memory about your mum and add a photograph.
The messages do not need to cover her entire life. Each person can talk about something they remember well.
Useful questions include:
- What does Mum do that always makes you laugh?
- What is something she taught you?
- Which day with her would you like to have again?
- What family story does she tell best?
- What is something she did for you that you appreciate more now?
- Which photograph of you together means the most to you?
A sibling may remember a childhood holiday. A grandchild may talk about something they do together every Saturday. An old friend may have photographs and stories that the rest of the family has never seen.
How to collect everyone’s messages
Send one contribution link to the family.
With Chorus, people open the link on their phone, record their message and add photographs. They do not need an app or an account.
Set a clear deadline when you send the invitation. If you need to order by 14 February, ask for every contribution by 7 February.
A message like this gives people what they need:
We’re making Mum a book for Mother’s Day with recordings and photos from everyone. Could you record one memory about her and add a photo by 7 February? Use this link on your phone.
You can send the same link to family members, friends and anyone else you want to include.
What Mum receives
Each recording has its own page with the contributor’s name, photographs and written message. Mum can play the recording from the page or read the words.
The printed option comes as one hardcover copy, posted to you. Allow at least three weeks between ordering and Mother’s Day.
