The Muddy Stilettos Awards are for small independent lifestyle businesses across the country, now across 28 counties, including Oxfordshire.

Now in their 11th year, the Muddy Awards are supported this year by Lightfoots Solicitors and sponsored nationally by Tide.

This is based on being free for all businesses to take part and it's still as thrilling as ever to shine a light on brilliant lifestyle indies that make our lives so much more fun and vibrant.

Of this year's 'In Love With Local' awards, they said: "A whopping great THANK YOU to all our Muddy readers who took part or voted - the Muddy Awards are nothing without you!"
