I am delighted to announce nominations for Rutland and Stamford's Favourite Independent Shop Awards 2025 are now open!
We are fortunate to have so many wonderful independent businesses locally, but they need our support, and this competition is my small way of playing my part by celebrating and raising their profiles.
Nominations are open until 5pm on Friday 12th December, before a shortlist of shops is created and final voting opens in January 2026. Winners of the awards will be announced in February 2026.
Please do spread the word and nominate your favourite shop across the 19 categories below!
