EXCELLENT Based on 103 reviews Posted on Anna Hargrave29/10/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter and I attended a candle making workshop and it was a really lovely experience. We were greeted by Adam with a glass of fizz and welcomed into his gorgeous venue, which felt very high end and luxurious. He took us through a step by step approach to making candles and wax melts which was appropriately paced so that we could follow along. The choice of aromas and blends were lovely and there was something for everyone’s taste, including some festive options. He was safety conscious and ensured everyone got a positive experience and beautiful finished candles and melts. A really great experience which I would definitely do again. Thank you Adam 😊Posted on Jennifer Hill29/10/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Visited with friends and we all had a great time!

Me and my cousin had a lovely, cosy candle and wax melt workshop with Adam who was a lovely host and great teacher. This was a gifted experience for me and it was a great way to start the autumn months. Still waiting for my candle to set fully but have been enjoying the strong scents of my wax melts in my new burner every day since!Posted on Dawn Blake30/09/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The candle-making workshop was absolutely fantastic and such a great experience! The location is really good, and the studio space itself is lovely and relaxing. Adam, our instructor, was so friendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful throughout the session. It is great value for money and a wonderful experience overall. I’d highly recommend this workshop to anyone, especially candle lovers! :)) xPosted on hayley dunn24/08/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 10/10 — An absolute delight from start to finish! This candle making class exceeded every expectation, beautiful scent selection, an easy to follow talked through step by step guide and walked out with something that actually looks and smells like it came from a boutique studio. Really relaxed environment, and enjoyed my tea and biscuits alongside getting to choose two scents to take home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a hands-on, creative afternoon that results in a beautiful, personal keepsake rather than a cookie-cutter craft project.Posted on Sharon Primrose22/08/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such a wonderful, calm, relaxing time with my friend making a good quality, beautifully scented candle and wax melts in a gorgeous room. Everything was so well organised and the attention to detail was really well thought out. Adam was brilliant. Very professional and really lovely. I’d love to go again with my daughter. Thank you!Posted on Alison Stark22/08/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I loved making my beautiful candle and wax melt in Adam’s gorgeous workshop. It was a relaxed session being creative and learning about candle making inc. a quiz. I highly recommend this special experience. I’ve not yet burnt my candle but have been enjoying smelling it in the meantime. Thank you Adam .Posted on Harlene Gill06/08/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We visited Loyal Candles for my friend’s hen do in July, and it was an amazing afternoon! Adam made us all feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. He was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and explained the candle-making process in an engaging and fun way. Adam also made adjustments to accommodate a larger group than usual, and his communication throughout made organising super easy! Everyone had a great time, and we each left with our own candle and wax melts to take home. Thanks a bunch Adam for making it so special!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
