UK is one of the earliest countries to celebrate Mothers Day and this upcoming 6th of March, Britain will prepare to express its love to all moms during a day of caring activities amongst family. If this year you want to surprise your mum and prepare an original event, check out this simple guide of top events in London to celebrate Mothering Sunday:

• Origami Poetry Cafe: spend a creative afternoon whilst chatting with your mum, hop on this original boat-cafe for some cake and tea while learning how to fold a paper-heart for your mum or her favourite animal or flower. An impressive plan just for £5!

• Free chocolate workshop: what can be more charming than designing and producing your own chocolate box accompanied by your mum? Spend a sweet afternoon offering her a special gift at The Museum of Brands in Notting Hill, both fun and free!

Burn Nights falls every 25th of January and it is embraced by London to honour the birthday of Scottish Poet Robert Burns. It is indeed a pretty crazy party where whisky, haggis, laughs, traditional food and big doses of dancing are the main characters. If you are planning to join this upbeat event, these are the spots you must definitively hit:

The Wild Game CO

Sooner or later you will need to try the star dish of Scottish cuisine. The Wild Game Co offers each day of the week previous to the event, all kinds of haggis and the night itself, a full menu of Scottish delights!

Kerb market

This street market is a must during Burn Nights as all vendors will be competing to offer guests the best of the traditional Scottish cuisine, surrounded by plenty of entertainment like highland games or the sounds of bagpipes, also a good chance to try your Ceilidh skills.

When trying to impress our partners, we usually think of extravagant plans that cost a fortune in an attempt of becoming “the most romantic of the year”. You will be surprise to read these alternative ideas to do in London (yes, you´ve read it well) that won´t cost you a penny.

• Comedy at Theatre Royal: it is said that by making someone laugh you can conquer his or her heart. Try your luck with Comic Mondays at this very romantic venue, which hosts a free comedy night every first day of the week kicking off at 8pm.

• Sunday Flower Market at Columbia Road: if you still haven´t wandered along this road, make a plan this weekend and stroll with your partner through this quite hippy market and get your lover some flowers! It is the best place to get good deals, but make sure to get there early in the morning!
