Had a wonderful experience at the Loyal Candles workshop. Beautiful room and products….Prosecco or tea and coffee on arrival….and right in Stortford town, so very convenient. Adam did a great job explaining everything and making the whole experience a real joy. A great gift to give a loved one.Posted on Gaia Ferro03/05/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Can’t recommend this enoughPosted on Helen Rushton27/04/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Superb! Such a wonderful relaxed experience. Adam the owner and founder is so knowledgeable and friendly. The candles and diffusers are exquisite. My friends and I had so much fun that we will be going back when the Christmas fragrances are released. If I could give more stars, I would. Many thanks. Since posting this review, i have been back to Adam's candle making workshops twice! Once at Christmas where friends and i made heavenly festive candles and candle melts and again yesterday for a friends 50th birthday treat. Adam welcomed us with a glass of Prosecco and introduced us to some new fragrances as well as some old favourites. Needless to say, both occasions were brilliant and make a great gift for friends and family. Thank you again Adam!Posted on Donna Crowley26/04/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just got back from a candle and wax making workshop with Adam, and honestly, it exceeded all expectations. I went with my friend and we both had such a great time from start to finish—especially with a cheeky glass of bubbles in hand to make it feel even more special. Adam was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and made the whole process feel easy and fun—even for complete beginners like us. He explained everything clearly, from choosing scents to pouring techniques, and gave us the freedom to get creative with our own scent’s. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and it never felt rushed. We left with beautiful handmade candles and wax melts. Highly recommend this workshop if you’re looking for something different, creative, and genuinely enjoyable to do with a friend. We’ll definitely be back.Posted on Jane Watling13/04/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

My mum and I did a candle and wax melting workshop with Adam today and had such a lovely time. Adam took his time with all of us and made sure to explain each step thoroughly so we could make a beautiful product to take home with us. He is clearly very passionate about what he does and is full of knowledge. Thank you for a brilliant afternoon 😊Posted on Lucinda Hagan11/04/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow.
