Book on you won't regret it!
We booked on very last minute for the candle workshop and so pleased we did.
John and hubby made it interesting, simple and a very enjoyable evening!
We do a lot of workshops and this has been my favourite yet and amazing value for money.
Look forward to joining another in 2026 :)

These candles are the only ones I burn
These candles are the only ones I burn. The fragrance is beautiful, the design is simple but pretty. I love the quality of wax used because it does not leave soot. The customer service is outstanding. I would recommend this company to anyone.

Great customer service and wonderful fragrance
Great customer service - upgraded my bottle size due to a very small delay in dispatch. I have bought lots of diffusers from this company and they all smell amazing. I only use this brand and La Montana in my house 😊
