20 Mother’s Day Activities in Belgium

30 April 2026 by
Siprès, Camille Deveseleer

Mother’s Day is coming up fast! This year, it falls on Sunday, May 10.
My mom and grandma always say they don’t need anything. So every year, I stick to the same idea: a Siprès product to encourage self-care, and an activity to spend quality time together.
If you also like this mix of a physical gift and an experience, we’ve put together a selection of products your mom will love, along with 20 original foodie and relaxing activities to do in Belgium to create beautiful memories. f

​ 

🌺 Explore the Domaine Provincial de Huizingen 

Located just a short drive from the famous Hallerbos forest, this beautiful provincial park is a real hidden gem for a nature escape. Take your mom for a stroll through the stunning rock garden, one of the most beautiful in the country, or wander through the arboretum bursting into spring color. The estate offers a romantic, timeless setting with a majestic castle, a small animal park, and beautiful ponds where you can even take a boat ride.

🎨 A creative session at Splashe (Uccle) 

Unleash your artistic side in this “clash room”. Put on a protective jumpsuit and have fun painting and splashing paint together as a duo. (More info: https://www.splashe.be/)

💆🏻‍♀️ A “Create Your Beauty Routine” workshop at Yuman Village (May 8 and 9) 

Just in time for Mother’s Day weekend, head to this beautiful eco-responsible space in Brussels for a special event. It’s a chance to get a skin diagnosis and learn how to create a 100% natural skincare routine tailored to your needs. Be sure to book in advance to share this bonding moment right before the big day.

🐓 Discover "Ferme Nos Pilifs" 

Just outside Brussels, enjoy a breath of fresh air in this wonderful urban ecological farm.

🥞 Go for brunch in a great local spot 

Start Mother’s Day with a delicious sweet and savory meal. Share pancakes, avocado toast, and specialty coffee at one of these favorite places:

🌾 Go for a long walk 

Sometimes the simplest things are the best. Put on good shoes, choose a forest, a nature reserve, or a country path, and enjoy the walk. Take in the fresh air and quiet to talk freely, away from daily distractions. A perfect moment to reconnect.

🍲 Cook a meal at home 

Go all out to spoil her without letting her lift a finger. Set a beautiful table, use your nicest dishes, and prepare her favorite meal with love. A deeply personal gesture that always warms the heart. 

🌸 Visit the Royal Greenhouses of Laeken 

A spring must-see. Enjoy a magical walk under huge glass structures filled with rare plants and spectacular architecture. Be sure to book tickets early, as the opening is limited. (More info: https://www.koninklijke-serres-royales.be/fr/)
