With St Patrick's Day almost over, and Mother's Day around the corner, we've found some of the best things for you to do this weekend.

The Argus has compiled a list of five events and activities you can take part in with friends and family.


Sky-high afternoon tea

Mothers and children alike can enjoy afternoon tea 450ft high, towering over Brighton's skyline.

Celebrate Mother's Day by going for a trip on the i360 viewing tower before enjoying afternoon tea in the West Beach restaurant on the promenade.

Unlimited tea is on offer alongside an array of finger sandwiches.

This is also followed by a Sunday roast event at the i360 between noon and 5pm.

Forest bathing

Visitors to Sheffield Park and garden can indulge in the lush greenery around them on Saturday, as they are guided through the Japanese excercise shinrin-yoku.

This directly translates to "forest bathing" however fear not - no water is involved.

A spokesman for the park said: "Everybody needs nature. Today’s busy lives can have significant impact on our mental and physical wellbeing and many of us instinctively head outside as a way to unwind and feel refreshed.

"But how often do we take the time to stop, focus our attention on the smaller details and really connect with the outdoor places we love?"

Amanda Bate of Forest and Nature Bathing Sussex will guide the group through a mindful and relaxing woodland wellbeing session.
