We’ve been waiting for this moment for quite some time at Muddy HQ – a chance to unleash our fabulous undulating cocktail glasses that track live voting every 60 seconds, and make the Finals of our biggest Muddy Awards, well, just that bit more fun.

Our Muddy Awards are now into their 10th year (I know, happy birthday to us!), and for 2023 they’re bigger and more beautiful than ever before, running across 28 counties, voted for by hundreds of thousands of readers, and celebrating the most awesome, unique, exciting indie business across the Muddy network.

Hop onto the Awards site, choose your county, and show your love by giving your favourite businesses your vote and help them win a coveted Award. We all know the cost of living crisis has made life hard for so many but a Muddy vote is FREEEEE as a bird, a fluttering digital love letter delivered to your plucky local businesses, from beauticians, PTs and pubs to florists, boutiques and bookshops.

Oh, and by way of thanks once you’ve cast your votes, you have the chance to win a little something too by way of thanks – a £1200 two night luxury stay at Another Place, set in 18 acres of Lake District National Park, with a private lake shore and views over Ullswater and the fells, plus a gorgeous Glass House for cocktails in the evenings. Bottoms up!
