Nominate your favorite Somerset independent businesses for the Muddy Stilettos Awards! Categories includes food, yoga, and more.
Categories range from bars to yoga studios, letting you nominate the best restaurant or florist. New this year are four award categories that include family experiences and sports instructors. They also added wellbeing specialists and women’s style.
Customers choose the winners, highlighting small independent businesses. Thirty-five counties participate across the UK and Porter Dodson Solicitors supports the awards, operating in Somerset, Dorset, and Bristol.
Last year, Somerset had eleven regional winners, with three winners specifically from Bath. Robyn’s Yoga won for yoga/Pilates, Ro Feilden-Cook won for fitness instruction, and Honey Willow won for women’s fashion.
Frome businesses also won two food awards. Hydeaway won for being the best bar and The High Pavement won for casual dining.
They have lots of categories for 2025, including arts, culture, and theatre. Beauty salons and cafes are also options, and you can nominate a local food producer. Event venues and pubs count too.
Nominations are open until March thirteenth and the top five will compete in the finals. These finals will be between April fifteenth and twenty-fifth and regional winners get announced on April thirtieth.
Then, regional winners compete nationally. Muddy Stilettos judges this final round, and the very best will be revealed in June.
The 2024 awards had many responses, receiving thirty five thousand nominations. Over half a million votes were cast, so nominate Somerset businesses for the awards.
