We had an absolute blast making candles together for a hen do! None of us had done it before, but the instructor made everything so easy to follow, and the atmosphere was fun and relaxed. It was the perfect mix of creativity, laughter, and just chilling with friends. Everyone left with their own gorgeous candle to take home, and honestly, it felt like such a special, memorable activity. Highly recommend for any group looking for something unique and hands-on to celebrate a hen party!

Teacher was nice, and the atmosphere was cozy. However, this is not a class for creatives; you cannot mix or create custom scents, you cannot design the jar or label, or really anything about the candle. All you do is mix a scent (there's a selection of about 7 of them, all fairly basic) into hot wax and pour it. You also get to pick the name, which is printed onto a pre-designed template for you to stick onto the jar. Easy to do, but not worth 45 pounds.

Really enjoyable class with me and my mum. Our teacher was friendly and also clear with her instructions. I thought we'd create more bespoke scents for our candles, but now understand that's a more complex task/class. The smells they had were nice, I was stuck deciding between 3 which is a good sign. I do think I would have enjoyed more variety of smells - something with sandalwood in it or something smokey - but the smells they did have were great so is a minor complaint.
