EXCELLENT Based on 97 reviews Posted 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!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.
