4/5 from Jana Voharova, attended Sep 2026: Leader lady was nice, Location too out of way, not good value for money at £50, tight space studio, half of the containers with dry items for the candle making were empty, staff nice and friendly but I will not recommend.Photos of my candle are in my garden, the studio was too tight for BYOB group.

4/5 from Neha Brown, attended Aug 2026: This was mostly a self-led workshop, with helpful briefing and support from the attentive staff member present - a lovely lady whose beauTIful name started with M (and meant God's love/grace?). Apologies I forgot her actual name but she was very kind, polite and accomodating. There were plenty of materials (dried flowers, essential oils and embellishments) to choose from, the atmoshwere was relaxed, with music of our chosing, and we weren't rushed in any way. We did two back to back sessions, and the staff team were very accomodating in starting the second workshop without us having to wait for or waste the time our candles were freezing..all in all, a lovely, relaxed and creating evening was enjoyed!
