Leics & Rutland Awards

Regional Winners


Oooh, well that was FUN!

The Muddy Stilettos Awards 2023 romped to a close last week, the culmination of seven weeks of cheerleading, sharing the love and voting for the most brilliant local businesses across all the Muddy counties.

But these are Awards voted for by Muddy readers, not editors, so it’s a heartfelt and whopping great THANK YOU from me to all of you who took part or voted in 2023.

And with no further ado, allow me to introduce your winners for 2023 across Rutland and Leicestershire. All incredible and worthy of a visit. So go visit soon!
