    The Milton Keynes Inspiration Awards are back for 2022 and the finalists have been announced.

    Milton Keynes Inspiration Awards is an awards ceremony that will distinguish and recognise inspirational, established individuals from Milton Keynes and the surrounding areas.

    The unforgettable black-tie event, which celebrates some of MK's most inspirational people, includes a 3-course meal, an evening of live entertainment, local and celebrity guests. Auctions for the award's chosen charity 5 On It Foundation, raffle prizes, competitions, business stalls and much more are also included. Tickets start from £45 per person and can be found here.

    After months of nominations from December 2021 - May 2022 the team at behind the Inspiration Awards have seen hundreds of nominations go through their website and social media. A spokesperson said: "It is always astonishing at how many inspirational individuals that get recognised every time we run the awards nominations. It truly shows how inspirational Milton Keynes is."
