IF you’ve left your Mother’s Day planning to the last minute, then don’t worry, The Chook has an emergency guide on how to spoil your mum rotten on Sunday:

FLOWERS

You can get your blooms in Fremantle at The Little Posy Co, The Flower Hound, The Twisted Tulip, Market Stems at the Fremantle Markets or The Flower Run. Get in there quick before they run out!

MEALS

Many of Fremantle’s venues are planning special Mother’s Day events including high tea at The National Hotel, brunch at Harbourside Freo, buffet breakfast, bottomless brunch or delicious afternoon tea at Esplanade Hotel Fremantle – by Rydges, lunch or dinner at Char Char Restaurant + Bar or The Left Bank. 

For something different, why not distill your own bottle of gin together at the Republic of Fremantle Gin School: Mother’s Day Edition?
