The Farm Shop & Deli Show has unveiled the regional finalists in its 2022 Retail Awards.

Artisan bakeries, butchers, delis and farm shops are among the finalists which span 12 categories and nine UK regions (see full list below). They were selected from hundreds of entries by an esteemed panel of judges who took into consideration the ways in which the retailers adapted and evolved their businesses to demonstrate innovation and sustainability.

The winners will be revealed at the Farm Shop & Deli Show at the Birmingham NEC on Monday 25 April.

The show forms part of the UK Food & Drink Shows, organised by British Baker publisher William Reed, which also includes the National Convenience Show, Food & Drink Expo and The Forecourt Show. They take place from 25 to 27 April.
