Mother’s Day is right around the corner, taking place on Sunday, 15 March 2026 and what better way to celebrate it than to treat your mum to an afternoon tea at one of Glasgow’s great tea rooms.
The city has a rich history with tea rooms, including the tearooms which were first opened by Miss Cranston in 1903 and were designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in collaboration with his wife, Margaret Macdonald. These days they are part of the National Trust for Scotland’s estate.
But there are modern takes on the classic tea room, including at places like the butterfly and the pig.
Keep reading for eight great Glasgow Afternoon Teas to treat your mum this Mother’s Day.
