County Muddy winners named

REGIONAL WINNERS OF ANNUAL LIFESTYLE AWARDS HAVE BEEN REVEALED

- 

SURREY'S 'best' lifestyle businesses have been named for 2025 as part of the annual Muddy Stilettos awards.

Each year, the publication seeks out independents who excel in their field.

Awards are given out across a wide range of categories, encompassing food, drink, beauty, accommodation and entertainment.

It is free for businesses to take part, and firms from 35 counties will compete in a public vote to determine the crème de la crème.

This year, dozens of businesses across Surrey took part, and now the winners have been announced.

Half a million people nationwide took part in the vote over eight weeks to pick their favourites.

The regional winners will automatically go through to the national finals of the Muddy Stilettos Awards.

Editors will judge who is the 'best of the best' in each category before announcing the national winners on June 25.
