Summary: Helen is an excellent host who is bright and bubbly and great fun. The experience was exceptional, Helen walked us through the key steps of candle making and including how to select a scent.

Summary: Helen who lead the session was very kind and patient. She gave us the history of the business and told us loads about the source of the supplies we used. We received by step instructions whilst making beautiful beeswax candles in a traditional way. This was lovely relaxing activity to do whilst visiting the area and not your normal tourist holiday experience. It was tranquil and therapeutic and the team were all very friendly. There is a beautiful small shop onsite selling amazing products. Don’t miss this gentle introduction to traditional crafting if you get the opportunity.
