EXCELLENT Based on 93 reviews Posted on Clairey M30/07/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ordered a refill for my diffuser, plus another fragrance to try out. Received within four days and was delighted to find complimentary wax melts inside the package! My daughter has attended a candle making day here and loved the experience. So nice to have such a lovely business so locally!Posted on Emily Nuttall27/07/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic relaxing workshop, perfect as a gift experience or just for fun! I purchased a gift voucher for Mother’s Day for a workshop experience for two people. I’m so glad I did! My Mum and I had such a lovely morning learning about candles, choosing our scents and making our very own personalised candles. The scents were beautiful, there is such a range and definitely something there for everyone. Adam was so patient and kind, carefully taking us through each step firstly to make a candle and then a set of wax melts. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience and would highly recommend it!Posted on Julie Hawkins26/07/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a fantastic morning I spent at Loyal Candles with three friends. Adam was a fantastic host and not only have we come away with a beautiful scented candle and six wax melts each but had fun and learnt how to get the most from our candles. Would highly recommend this workshop to come on your own, with a friend or group. I will definitely be booking again!Posted on Jo Wiltshire24/07/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a fabulous time at a candle-making workshop here, two hours of peace and Prosecco and lovely company! Adam is a perfect host, he has thought of every detail and makes sure every participant knows exactly what they are doing. Small details such as providing a hand fan and chilled hand towels on a warm day make the experience feel like a small dose of luxury in the heart of town. The candle and wax melt making process itself is easy to follow and the scents are wonderful. The room is light and airy and beautifully decorated. Would very much recommend.Posted on Kim Bird28/06/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic experience . lovely teacher, very welcoming will definitely be backPosted on Emma Bird28/06/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lovely experience. Great scents and a really informative experience! Thank you!Posted on Rebecca Simmonds19/06/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had the best experience candle making with Adam, he was really welcoming and knowledgeable, he ensured everyone in the group was ok at each step and answered all questions too, the session didn't feel rushed and we were encouraged to take our time choosing our scent, and the fact we could have a different scent for both the candle and wax melts was a bonus! I also loved that you could personalised the label for your candle or choose Adams branding which was such a lovely touch especially if your celebrating or just want to add a little something to your finished candle. I took my mum as part of her birthday present and she also really enjoyed too. It was a really fun and relaxed was to spend a morning, definitely a hidden gem so glad to have discovered it right on my doorstep I will definitely be back ! Thanks so much again Adam ☺️Posted on Joanne Hazeldine18/06/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a beautiful venture. Adam really has created a beautiful space for creative learning and enjoyment. Myself and a few friends booked up for the Sunday morning candle making session and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The candles are really very special and you get to enjoy them in your home after!! Thank you Adam, we will be back.Posted on Andrea Fuller07/06/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A good friend and I shared a really enjoyable two hours with Adam at a candle making workshop on Saturday afternoon. It was a great way to relax, learn more about candles, scents and our senses in a beautiful relaxing environment. Definitely will visit again. Highly recommended for a lovely experience with friends or family.Posted on Lindsey Lyes-Green24/05/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
