Absolutely brilliant

Went with my son to Ollie’s candle making session. Was a fab experience and came away with some beautiful candles and wax melts. Very sociable and hospitable and fun way to spend a couple of hours.
Ollie is a fabulous host and the experience was 100% worth it.

chilled evening candle making

I had a really lovely time at the candle-making workshop on Saturday evening. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, with a friendly group of strangers who were easy to chat with. Ollie, the candle master, was brilliant – full of knowledge, stories from his time in the industry, and lots of helpful tips that made the process smooth and fun.

I went back the next day to collect the set candles and enjoyed a great coffee at the little farm café nearby – a peaceful spot right in the Chantries, perfect for a calm Sunday morning. Highly recommend this workshop for anyone looking for a creative, no-fuss experience. I’ll definitely be back with my daughter!

Great candle workshop!

We had a really fun time with Ollie who guided us expertly through the candle workshop. We laughed and chatted in the beautiful, relaxed environment he's created. The location is stunning, although hidden away, so the directions were useful. We came away with several candles of various fragrance/design that we created ourselves under Ollie's expert tuition. I would thoroughly recommend the candle workshop as a fun activity with friends and would also make a great gift.

The session was fabulous

The session was fabulous, we thoroughly enjoyed it and the host, Ollie, was amazing. We made some beautiful candles in an array of colours and scents including some glitter for that extra sparkle.

The layout of the room was perfect allowing plenty of room to gain access to all the materials. Ollie has some exciting plans to renovate the room which will complete a perfect package.

Ollie, thank you for an amazing session and will mostly definitely see you again.

Ollie was a great host

Ollie was a great host. A group of 4 of us went and had a wonderful time learning to make candles.
We all said how nice and relaxing it was now that the nights are drawing in.
