Ilkley Green Room is calling for community support after being nominated to become the UK’s Favourite Local Business 2026.
The independent Ilkley venue has been put forward as part of a nationwide competition celebrating local businesses across the country. Shops, restaurants, salons, hotels and other local businesses are all eligible, with members of the public asked to nominate their favourite and explain why they deserve to win. Ilkley Green Room hosts a variety of activities and events, including Supper Clubs, cocktails, pottery painting and special events. The team said: “We are so thrilled. We put so much love into our little Green Room from Supper Clubs and cocktails to pottery painting and special events — so being nominated means an awful lot. “And now we need your help. “If you love what we do, we’d be incredibly grateful if you could take a moment to nominate Ilkley Green Room and show your support for local independent businesses.” Anyone submitting a nomination is also entered into a draw to win a £1,000 Town & City Gift Card. The business eventually crowned the UK’s Favourite Local Business will also receive a £1,000 gift card. To nominate, people need to provide the name and location of their chosen business and explain why they believe it should be named the UK’s Favourite Local Business 2026. The team at Ilkley Green Room added: “Thank you, as always, for supporting our little independent business. “We couldn’t do any of this without you.”
