This is a fun activity in Strand, London

Step inside Somerset House’s hidden creative studios for a unique candle-making workshop in London. Hosted by Ambustum at Makerversity, this 75-minute session invites you to slow down, connect with scent, and leave with your own custom-poured candle.

- You’ll learn how to make your own candle using a coconut and rapeseed wax blend, exploring ambustum’s signature scent profiles before blending and pouring your own.
- Each guest finishes with a personalised label and a deeper understanding of the craft.

Thursday evening workshops are a perfect post-work escape. The on-site bar is open, or you’re welcome to bring your own drinks.

A calm, creative experience in one of London’s most beautiful historic buildings.

“Great introduction to candle making. Teacher was very friendly and explained clearly but informally whilst guiding us through the process. We all came out proudly clutching our own personal effort for the evening - a very professional looking candle, which smelt wonderful. Highly recommended.”

“had such a lovely time at the candle-making workshop! The teacher was warm, friendly, and full of helpful tips that made the whole process feel fun and easy. There were four fragrances to choose from, each one beautiful in its own way, and I ended up picking a gorgeous scent called Daodar that I absolutely love. The whole experience was enjoyable from start to finish, and I left with a candle I’m really proud of. Highly recommend!”
