What a wonderful afternoon creating and learning about candle making. Adam was so attentive, explained every step of how to make these stunning, beautiful scented candles.

Adam was absolutely fantastic! We had the best time making our own candles, whilst learning a lot that we didn’t know! Adams’ space is really beautifully decorated and so lovely to be in. We really enjoyed our experience and would totally recommend this to anyone thinking of doing a candle workshop. Thank you so much and can’t wait to burn our goodies!!Posted on Chloe Garrett08/01/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Booked a candle making workshop for a group of 7 mum-friends to get together, we all had such a lovely time and came away with fabulous smelling candles and wax melts. Adam was so friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. We were welcomed with a drink before going through all the scents and then the process of making the candles. Adam went through each step in detail and answered all our questions. We all left the workshop feeling relaxed and really pleased with what we'd made. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for something a bit different to do.Posted on Alison Sanger03/01/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Attended a candle making workshop today with some friends. What a lovely experience. Absolutely beautiful surroundings and we felt so welcomed and comfortable. No experience necessary as you’re guided through every step. Took away a gorgeous scented candle at the end of the session, along with lots of tips on burning candles properly. Highly recommend this lovely workshop.Posted on Siobhan Edmeades28/12/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We had such a lovely afternoon with Adam learning to make the most divine candles. We had enormous fun.Posted on Jane Knight14/12/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a very lovely, fun afternoon on Friday. Adam runs a great candle making workshop and with my being a complete novice, I learned a lot! 2 ladies also attending helped me to choose a melt burner to buy from Adam (we made Melts too! ) - a very friendly workshop and having decided to attend at the last minute on my own, I felt very welcome. The workshop environment was very relaxing, lovely decor and was, as pictured on the Loyal Candle website. It was super to come home with a candle and melts that I’d made, thanks to Adam’s friendly & knowledgeable approach. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a Loyal Candles workshop, Enjoy!Posted on K M13/12/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I enjoyed a lovely pre Christmas event by attending a workshop with my daughter and a friend. You get to choose your own fragrance and we each left with a lovely candle and some wax melts. Adam was very informative and a great teacher. The venue was good and we received info in advance on where to park which was very helpful.
