The Falkirk Wheel Provides "Hands On" Support For Mothers Day

1 March 2005

? Free massages and discounted tickets on offer 

Stressed out mums are being invited to the world?s first and only rotating boat lift for a bit of rest and relaxation this Sunday as part of a packed programme for Mothers Day.

Not only will mums travel on The Falkirk Wheel at kids prices but they can also schedule in a bit of pampering with a free shoulder massage or possibly even a hand or foot massage from fully qualified reflexologists while they wait. 

And any forgetful kids who ?misplaced? their present can make amends and grab a late gift from the special Mothers Days selection in The Falkirk Wheel shop.

Commenting on the celebrations, Claire Macnair, Sales and Promotions Manager at The Falkirk Wheel said: ?The Falkirk Wheel is a great day out for all the family but we really wanted to make it an extra special day for mothers on Sunday 6th March.   Not only can mums take a relaxing cruise but there is also the chance to let the stresses and strains float away with a free massage.?

Mothers Day Trips on The Falkirk Wheel cost ?8 for adults, ?4 for children and mums and ?6 concession. Children under five go free.   A family ticket (2 adults and 2 children) is priced at ?21.  Further information on The Falkirk Wheel can be found at www.thefalkirkwheel.co.uk.
