Sydney’s Best Mother’s Day Events 2025 (That Mum Will Actually Want to Go To)

Let’s be real—Mum does not want another mug that says World’s Best. She wants to be fed. Ideally, with someone else doing the organising, cooking and cleaning. Bonus points if there’s Champagne involved.

So if you’re ready to ditch the last-minute card and give Mum what she really wants this Mother’s Day (aka good food, good vibes, and maybe 10 minutes to sit down uninterrupted), we’ve rounded up the best Mother’s Day events happening across Sydney in 2025.

From high teas with teddy bears to Italian banquets and rooftop bubbles, there’s something for every kind of mum—and every kind of budget. You’re welcome.

1. Mum Mode: Fancy Italian Banquet at Sarino’s – Baulkham Hills

If your mum is the queen of food snaps and has high standards for pasta (don’t we all), then Sarino’s is your go-to.

Tucked away in Baulkham Hills, they’re putting on an elegant four-course Italian banquet that is chef’s kiss. Think: antipasti, house-made fusilli with pork and veal ragu, crispy skin barramundi, chargrilled tenderloin, and pistachio tiramisu. We were full just reading the menu.

And for the seafood lovers—there’s an add-on that brings Sydney Rock Oysters, tiger prawns, and scallop crudo to the table for an extra $30pp. Yes please.

Bringing the kids? They’ve thought of that too—$39pp for little ones under 12.

$110pp adults | $39pp kids | +$30 for seafood add-on

Why we love it: Luxe without being stuffy. Perfect for a glam mum lunch or multi-gen family feast.

2. Bears, Bubbles & High Tea at Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park

Got little ones in tow but still want a bit of sparkle and elegance? This one’s for you.

Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park is hosting a limited-edition Build-A-Bear High Tea and honestly, it’s adorable. While the adults sip sparkling wine and nibble on pastries and scones (yes, please), the kids get to create their own bear—including a personalised voice message during the heart ceremony.

It’s hands-on, heartfelt and downright wholesome—and yep, very Instagrammable.

3. Rooftop Feels & Family Vibes at The Governor Hotel – Macquarie Park

If your ideal Mother’s Day involves sunshine, live music, and a cocktail in hand (while the kids are entertained), then The Governor Hotel has your name all over it.

You’ve got the choice of à la carte dining in the Bistro or up on the Rooftop. There’s live music from 1:30PM, free kids’ painting activities, and a glass of sparkling for every mum on arrival.

It’s casual, it’s fun, and best of all—you don’t have to share your fries if you don’t want to.

There’s live music, the menu’s seasonal and delicious, and the venue has that relaxed-yet-chic vibe that makes you feel like you’re on a mini holiday. It’s a good excuse to ditch the dishes and let someone else do the work for once.

The Final Word: Book the Table, Not the Gift

This year, give Mum the gift of someone else doing the planning—and the cooking. Whether it’s high tea with the kids, Champagne with a view, or a long lazy lunch, there’s something special about quality time that doesn’t involve cleaning up.

And if you’re a mum reading this… go ahead and forward it to your partner. Or your kids. Or your group chat with the not-so-subtle subject line: “Pick one.”

Just don’t wait too long—tables are filling fast and trust us, you don’t want to be left with soggy toast and lukewarm tea in bed. Again.
