There is still time to cast your vote to crown the best pub in Furness.
Since the start of July, The Mail has been spearheading the 'Best Pub 2024' award with readers nominating their favourite haunts in the region.
Following this, a group of 10 finalists were revealed, all of which were vying for your vote before the deadline on Saturday, August 3.
The first pub we visited was the Gather Beers of Ulverston, which has been serving locals for almost seven years since Alan Munro created the 'friendly spot'.
In Barrow, Gary and Kirstene Waddington have been running the Harbour Inn since 2020, and they thanked their 'magnificent' regulars for the award nomination.
Graham and Andrea Wilson moved into the Old Friends Inn of Ulverston way back in 2011, and will be hoping to make some new friends by picking up the inaugural award.
A family-run pub in Dalton, the Golden Ball Inn, saw Kayleigh Park and husband Lee - along with their five children - discuss just how important the haunt is in all their lives.
Crofters saw a new team move in earlier this year, with Mel Pugh and Stuart Duff hoping that their first six months in charge can result in award glory.
Mark Webb is now the third-longest serving landlord at Dalton's Bridge Inn, with the pub's historic legacy hoped to give them the edge over the competition.
Whilst Mark is still going strong, Roger and Sharon Chattaway are on their way out at the Rose and Crown in Ulverston as they hand the keys over to their daughter.
Charity stalwarts Kieran and Louise McDaid will be hoping that their fundraising antics can inspire the public to vote for the Clarence Pub in Dalton.
Meanwhile, the Devonshire of Barrow is aiming to build upon its past title as the best in the town, and take on the rest of Furness.
The final pub hoping to claim your support is the Red Lion, the fourth competitor from Dalton, where the Bell family have been taking the haunt to the next level since 2019.
You can still submit your votes for the 'Best Pub 2024' by picking up a copy of The Mail by August 3.
