Shop Local Nantwich Awards
The Shop Local Nantwich Awards were created to celebrate and recognise the incredible independent businesses that give Nantwich its unique character and vibrant high street. Designed to highlight the hard work, creativity, and resilience of local traders, the awards provide a platform for the community to show support for the shops, cafés, and services they value most. By encouraging public nominations and voting, the awards strengthen the connection between residents and businesses, while also raising the profile of independents in a challenging retail landscape. Ultimately, the Shop Local Nantwich Awards champion the importance of shopping locally and reinforce the town’s commitment to supporting its independent business community.
Nominations for the Shop Local Nantwich Award 2026 are now OPEN!
Vote for your favourite local business below, all nominations must be within 10 miles of Nantwich town centre. Nominations close on 30th June 2026
Nominations are first put forward by the public, and the five businesses with the most nominations in each category will be selected as finalists. These finalists will then be reviewed by a panel of experts, who will choose the winner for each category. All finalists will also go forward to a public vote, where the community will decide the overall Best Local Business.
