When Mother's Day (UK) is
Mothering Sunday, Mother's Day in the UK, is the fourth Sunday of Lent, exactly 3 weeks before Easter Sunday. It is a church date with no law behind it. Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the first full moon that happens next after 21 March, the rule in the Calendar (New Style) Act 1750.
Why the date moves
Because it follows Easter, UK Mother's Day moves by up to 5 weeks, between 1 March and 4 April. It is a different day from US Mother's Day, which is the second Sunday in May.
Public holidays before Mother's Day (UK)
Between today and Sunday 7 March 2027, the England and Wales count takes off Christmas Day (25 Dec 2026), Boxing Day (28 Dec 2026) and New Year’s Day (1 Jan 2027), and the US count takes off Columbus Day (12 Oct 2026), Veterans Day (11 Nov 2026), Thanksgiving Day (26 Nov 2026), Christmas Day (25 Dec 2026), New Year's Day (1 Jan 2027), Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. (18 Jan 2027) and Washington's Birthday (15 Feb 2027). Holidays that fall at a weekend are already out of the count.

Sources and assumptions
- Calendar days: the target date minus today. Working days: Monday to Friday from today up to the day before the target date, the way the Days Between Dates calculator counts them.
- UK working days take off England and Wales bank holidays from the GOV.UK feed, including substitute days. Scotland and Northern Ireland have different bank holidays.
- US working days take off federal holidays on the day they are observed under 5 U.S.C. 6103. States and employers can add their own holidays.
- legislation.gov.uk: Calendar (New Style) Act 1750 (Easter rule)
- GOV.UK: UK bank holidays (England and Wales)
- 5 U.S.C. 6103: US federal legal public holidays
