Why the date moves

Mothering Sunday is the Fourth Sunday of Lent in the Church of England's calendar: after it come the Fifth Sunday of Lent, Palm Sunday and then Easter Day, so it is always 3 weeks before Easter Sunday. Easter moves from year to year, so Mothering Sunday moves with it.

From Church of England, Common Worship: The Calendar and the Date of Easter and other variable dates, checked 14 November 2026, and Easter from GOV.UK's bank holidays. Mothering Sunday is a custom, not a public holiday.
