Despite the annual rush for blooms, chocolates and sentimental trinkets, 70% of mums say their ideal Mother’s Day is simply one spent with their children.
This year, Red Funnel is making that meaningful connection easier by covering the travel fare for mums, helping families come together for the moments that matter.
On Sunday 15th March, Red Funnel is offering mums and mother figures free foot passenger travel between West Cowes and Southampton on the Hi-Speed Red Jet when travelling with a paying ‘child’ regardless of their age!
With a round trip taking less than hour, families will be able to make the most of their day of appreciation. Four-legged family members haven’t been forgotten either, as dogs are welcome on board the Red Jet service too, meaning no one has to miss out on the adventure.
Whether you’re five or 50, with adult children also included in the free travel offer, and celebrating with your mum, step-mum or motherly figure, Southampton is an ideal place to spend quality time together. With a wealth of cultural and historical attractions, great shopping, family-friendly eateries, and plenty of spots for a relaxing drink, plus it’s just a 20-minute drive to the New Forest National Park if you’re after a breath of fresh air.
Commenting ahead of Mother’s Day, CEO Fran Collins said:
“Mother’s Day isn’t about how much you spend, it’s about spending time together. Offering mums free travel on the Red Jet again this year is a small way for us to help families focus on what really matters and enjoy a special day out together.”
If you’re up for an even bigger adventure, why not catch the Quayconnect shuttle from the Southampton Town Quay Ferry Station to Southampton Central station and hop on the train to London?
To qualify, simply purchase any full-priced ticket for the ‘child’ from West Cowes Red Jet ticket desk and ask for the ‘Mums Go Free’ offer to receive the complimentary foot passenger day return for mum. If the child travelling is under 5, then any other adult ticket counts towards the offer.
