At the end of the workshop you’ll have made your own candle, to keep or gift, and will be equipped with the ability to make many more…

What to expect on the day:
The roughly two hour workshop includes everything you need to make your own coconut and rapeseed wax scented candle.
You’ll be learning in a group of up to eight people.
We’ll provide all the equipment, materials (including a choice from three beautiful fragrances) and apron to keep your clothes wax-free.
We’ll provide refreshments and snacks to keep you going as you learn.
Your candle will need at least 24 hours to cool before you can take it home, so it can either be collected at a later date or posted to you for no extra cost.
As an extra bonus every attendee will receive 10% off any of our products available for sale at our workshop.
Parking is available for free outside our workshop.
