Join us for a unique candle painting class in the Cotswolds where you'll have the opportunity to create your own beautifully unique tapered dinner candles. Our workshop is suitable for all abilities, so don't worry if you're a beginner!
These handmade candles make perfect treasured keepsakes or thoughtful gifts for your loved ones. You don't need any prior experience as our workshop is suitable for all abilities.
Our talented instructor, Nikki, will be on hand to offer tips and tricks - but the workshop is all about expressing your own creativity and designing the patterns you want!
Throughout the workshop, you'll have the chance to work with high-quality materials and practice suggested techniques that will enhance your artistic abilities. Don't worry if you're a beginner; our warm and uplifting atmosphere will make you feel comfortable and encouraged to express your creativity.
By the end of the class, you'll leave with your very own pair of stunning painted candles, a unique piece of art that you can proudly display or gift to someone special.

Recent reviews of Candle Painting Workshop

  • 4/5 from Helen Shields, attended Dec 2024: It was a shame the location was so cold as the candles weren’t drying and smudged on the way home. Also the lighting was awful. Lovely concept, super staff member but location not great as far as temp comfort and seeing what you were doing!
  • 3/5 from Jane Tomlins, attended Dec 2024: The venue was freezing, sad for a Christmas event no red, few green&white. Weirdly neon orange, blue, pink etc? Would have liked an intro as we all wasted a lot of time not knowing when to start or what to do. Lady that ran the course very nice.
  • 5/5 from Emily Hartnell, attended Nov 2024: We really enjoyed this workshop. The venue was great, the teachers give enough instruction but freedom to mange your own time (with plenty of time) and the ability to chat with friends. The materials were good quality and I managed to paint 5 dinner candles which I am really pleased with. Really good value for money. Thank you
  • 5/5 from Kristina Tailor-Nicholls, attended Nov 2024: A really relaxing class, perfect for an evening with friends. I was really pleased with how many candles we could paint and there was lots of material to choose from. The teacher was really helpful and attentive.
  • 5/5 from Jackie Brown, attended Nov 2024: The perfect way to start off the festive season, the session was so relaxed and Nikki & Steph were very helpful with their tips on how to make the candles look, and as a result the candles turned out better than I thought they would. All materials were supplied and you could ask for anything extra if needed. Thank you for a wonderful evening.
  • 5/5 from Hannah Parsons, attended Oct 2024: Fabulous evening really therapeutic and relaxing I Thoroughly enjoyed it! Will deffo book again xx
  • 5/5 from Louise Chapple, attended Oct 2024: I booked 9 spaces for the candle decorating workshop for my daughter’s birthday. The table was beautifully presented when we arrived with a birthday banner too, which was a lovely touch. Our table consisted of 7 ladies and 2 men, ranging in age from 22-60. I mention this only to say that EVERYONE really loved this experience. It was all explained very thoroughly, materials provided were good quality and easy to use, and help was at hand at all times. Communication prior to the event was extremely helpful and with quick response, and the venue (Dunkertons in Cheltenham) could not have been better. Overall, this event far exceeded my expectations, and I would not hesitate in booking a ClassBento workshop in the future. Thank you The Candle Crowd
  • 4/5 from Kelly, attended Oct 2024: I liked the venue and workshop although I wish I had arrived earlier to get a drink at the bar. I came alone so it was a little awkward for me but the teach made me feel welcome and was very friendly. I spent a while looking for designs to follow and realise there were some already in the instructions but just a suggestion for those of us who are not so creative, it would be nice to see some more theme style options to copy or some templates to try and get us going. Overall I enjoyed it though, relaxing and something nice to do. Thank you
  • 5/5 from Carol Smart, attended Jul 2024: Very much enjoyed the class in that I would like to book another! Teachers very helpful Good f7n Nice atmosphere
  • 5/5 from Madeleine, attended Apr 2024: I booked this class as a present for myself and best friend to do, we had such a good time, the setting of the class was really pretty, there were cupcakes handed out which were delicious and we were luckily sat next to some lovely ladies that we chatted with for the evening. The spaces were tight but there was always someone passing by you could ask for a paint colour and they helped happily. The ladies were really friendly and helpful. My only bit of feedback was we wished the whole session was a bit longer, we enjoyed it so much but felt rushed just to get a second candle finished by the time we had overall started, even if it was 30 mins longer. But I think it’s just because we had so much fun, we wish we did more! Would definitely do again
  • 5/5 from Megan Pedley, attended Dec 2023: Was such a lovely evening! The teacher was really helpful and friendly, the venue was easy to locate and we had a range of candles and paints to choose from! Cupcakes and prosecco were even provided. Would definitely recommend!
  • 5/5 from Carla, attended Dec 2023: Such an enjoyable experience! So relaxing and creative, the time went too quickly! Nikki was great as well, definitely recommend!
  • 5/5 from Charlotte, attended Nov 2023: Booked this class with a friend as our Christmas present to each other. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. The venue was stunning and so beautifully set up for the event. You get everything you could need to paint the candles, including ideas for decorating. The hosts were so helpful ensuring we had enough paints and our preferred colours etc. The atmosphere was lovely. Such a brilliant evening and the most wonderful start to the festive season. Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Tina, attended Nov 2023: A wonderful evening. Fabulous, helpful hosts with beautiful products. I am looking forward to the next workshop.
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2023: Really enjoyed the class, given plenty of information but left to your own devices. Lots of help on hand and great selection of candles & colours. Really enjoyed the vibes and accommodated 6 of us very well! Thanks so much
  • 5/5 from Hayley Masheder, attended Nov 2023: Lovely activity and a really helpful team! Would definitely book again. Such an enjoyable evening.
  • 5/5 from Eve Whalley, attended Oct 2023: Well where do I begin. Firstly the venue looked beautiful with everything set up for the evening. The instructions were even decorated and looked amazing! Nikki was such a fantastic teacher, showing us what to do and engaging with us all throughout the whole evening. Nothing was too much of an ask. Even down to getting the bar staff up to take orders so we didn’t have to take time out to go to the bar. We were able to decorate 2+ candles which I thought was great value- plus the yummy cupcake. I would 100% recommend to anything thinking of doing it. And I would do it again in future.
  • 5/5 from Cecilia Brenner, attended Oct 2023: The teacher was great! So nice and fun. Urban Fox was lovely, it was my first time there. Inloved my candles! Would definitely do this again.

I love bringing people together and providing a fun space for friends to be creative - a place to gather outside of the regular dinners/ drinks and coffee dates. I always leave my workshops with the biggest smile on my face, having seen groups belly laugh, design ideas together and support eachother to create beautiful candles to take home!
Before I started the Candle Crowd I was a Teacher, mentor and workshop facilitator for both children & adults. This was my job for over 10 years and I loved it!
My passion for creating along with my love for running fun & interactive workshops took me on the journey to where I am today and I hope you enjoy the workshops as much as I enjoyed designing them for you.
Come along and learn how to paint beautiful candles to decorate your own home or as a present for a friend. We’ll provide you with the guidance and all the necessary materials, to design your own unique candles. With some relaxing music, refreshments and cupcakes - it’s a great day out!
We'd love you to join us.
