<p>Glasses of homegrown English sparkling wine were overflowing as we toasted the winners of the Hampshire and Isle Muddy Awards 2024 in the beautiful countryside setting of <a href="https://www.theyardhampshire.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Yard</a>, a gorgeous rural cafe and events space near Alresford. </p>



<p>Turning out in force, despite the slightly inclement weather, it was fantastic to meet and bring together so many inspirational local businesses and help play a part in some supportive new friendships.</p>

<p>Astonishingly, the Muddy Awards 2024 reached a staggering 10 million people nationally over eight weeks with more than 500,000 votes cast. It’s fantastic to see this annual event remains as popular as ever with our Muddy readers and business community. And it&#8217;s still as thrilling as ever to shine a light on brilliant lifestyle indies that help make our Hampshire and Isle of Wight villages, towns and cities great places to live and enrich our lives and communities.  </p>

<p>This year’s awards were sponsored nationally by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tide.co/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tide</a>, the brilliant banking platform for small businesses.

<p>Plenty of high praise too for the delicious, locally-made <a href="https://catalyselifedrinks.com/">Catalyse Life</a> mineral drinks. For those feeling the chill, a warming cup of superb <a href="https://moonroast.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Moon Roast</a> coffee, served straight from the roastery at The Yard was a delicious pick-me-up.</p>
