About this Event
Step out of the seasonal bustle and into a relaxing, sensory masterclass centered around the art of festive candle making.
Whether you're treating yourself to a quiet moment of Christmas self-care or crafting a truly unique, hand-poured gift for a loved one, this hands-on workshop offers the perfect place to slow down and get creative.
Guided by our guest candle expert, you’ll dive into the craft of soy wax candle making. You'll experiment with a curated selection of gorgeous fragrance oils, learn how essential oil profiles interact, and pour your very own custom candle, complete with dried botanicals and herbs for a beautiful finishing touch.
While your candle sets, you'll also formulate a bespoke essential oil aromatherapy rollerball tailored to your mood, giving you an on-the-go boost of festive calm or energy.
No prior experience is necessary - just bring your festive spirit, and we’ll supply the rest.
What’s Included:
- Custom Scented Candle: The star of the show! Learn the process from scratch, select your Christmas scent, and hand-pour a soy wax candle finished with botanicals.
- Bespoke Aromatherapy Rollerball: Formulate a personalized essential oil blend packaged in a convenient pocket-sized rollerball.
- Complimentary Refreshments: Enjoy two drinks throughout the evening, with Prosecco and non-alcoholic options available.
- All Materials & Equipment: Full access to high-quality soy wax, essential oils, wick setup, and decorative elements.
Tickets are £50 and include two complimentary drinks (Prosecco and non-alcohol drinks available) and all the equipment you need to create your scented candle & essential oil rollerball, which you can then take home with you at the end of the event.
