Cedar Apothecary is dedicated to exploring natural skincare, candle making and home fragrances. Through practical, personalised workshops we’ll explore the therapeutic properties of essential oils and botanic ingredients, creating our own organic beauty and scented products.
Lizzy's love for candles and their therapeutic benefits became the foundation of Cedar. In 2018, she decided to share moments of calm with others and hasn't looked back since. With its own dedicated studio space, an evolving range of handmade products, and over 5 years of hosting candle making workshops, Cedar has become a symbol of tranquility and self-care.
In 2023 after completing a diploma in product formulation, Lizzy launched Cedar Apothecary as a sister offering to Cedar, expanding her workshop repertoire. This dedicated space is where we delve into the realm of natural skincare and home fragrances. Through our workshops, we explore the therapeutic properties of essential oils and botanical ingredients, empowering you to create your own organic beauty and scented products.

The class was so much fun. Set withing a beautiful shop, Lizzie looked after us from beginning to end. She provided us with a real wealth of knowledge on how to recreate the products we made at home.
Thanks so much- I'd definitely book a class with Lizzie again.

I have been to 3 of Lizzie’s classes now and they are wonderful! So easy to follow and learn new skills to take home and build the practice into your everyday life!
I’d really recommend her new botanical face product class. I now can’t live without the wonderful lip barm you make! Also makes such a beautiful present for people, to go along to one of Lizzie’s classes and experience a lovely afternoon with a loved one!

Absolutely beautiful quaint venue, which had such a warm vibe. On arrival, we were warmly greeted also and offered a selection of drinks and biscuits.
The class consisted of 10 people in total, and involved everyone at all stages, enabling interaction as a group.
The process of making natural candles was very well explained and extremely interesting.
We were then able to create our own candles to take away with us on the day.
Such a lovely experience and would highly recommend this.

Hi Tina, thanks so much for your lovely review, I'm glad you both found it interesting. I'd love to welcome you back in the future and I'll make sure the radiator is cranked up so it's nice and cosy. Lizzy x

Lizzy was so welcoming and knowledgable. Made the experience very enjoyable.
The location is incredible and so aesthetically pleasing! Everything felt very luxurious and expensive.
Very fun and different morning for myself and my friends.
We will be back for your other classes

Such a lovely class, learnt so much about candle making and Lizzy was great. The location was beautiful also! Can’t wait to come back for another workshop.
Shenice • Oct 2023
Really enjoyed this class! Lizzy was super friendly and informative and you get to learn a lot about the different notes and scents that are used to create the beautiful candles!
The venue for the workshop is also beautiful and is such a nice way to spend a couple hours creating something new with a group of friends, would highly recommend trying this workshop!
Robbie • Oct 2023
This was the second time I've done this class and it was even better then the first time! It's fun, informative and relaxing all at the same time. Lizzy is a fantastic teacher and a joy to be around. My candle turned out great, I can't wait to try another of her classes! Bonus points for such a beautiful venue too!
Betty • Oct 2023
This class was so much fun! I loved learning about different scents, elements of candle making and some really interesting information on wax! Lizzy was so passionate which made the whole experience super inspiring and memorable. I loved smelling each essential/fragrance oil and picking out my perfect blend with plenty of expert advice from lovely Lizzy. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone!
Phoebe • Oct 2023
Absolutely loved this class! Lizzy was super informative and friendly and I learned a lot about notes and scents. I especially loved thinking about what kind of fragrance I wanted for my candle and getting creative with mixing all the essential oils. The workshop was also in a lovely space with beautiful scandi decor and the prosecco was flowing! I love my finished candle, it's super high quality and smells just like my favourite Aesop hand cream! Perfect for a team building/work do which is what I did but also can see it being a super relaxing activity to do with a partner or some friends!
Charlie • Oct 2023
Had such a great time at this class. Lizzy was really accommodating, helpful, fun and knowledgable. Her workshop was really cozy and inviting. There was a great array of essential oils to try and Lizzy helped me hone in on my perfect scent! We learnt everything from scent stories, top, middle and base note mixing to how pour your perfect candle and the finished product was amazing quality. Would definitely recommend!
Niall Palmer • Oct 2023
Our group had a wonderful time! Lizzy's great at explaining how you build a scent in a candle and then gives you plenty of time to have a smell around all the different essential oils to create the scent you like. There's enough knowledge nuggets to take away to make the class worth it if you're looking to get into candle making as a hobby, but is also just good fun and a lovely way to spend a couple of hours being creative around others.
Erika Dennis • Sep 2023
We knew we were in the right place when we arrived as the scent was incredible. Lizzy made us feel so welcome - the Prosecco certainly fuelled our confidence which resulted in so many questions and yet Lizzy didn’t make us feel rushed and gave her time to each person. The workshop was very informative and fun Lizzy certainly knows essential oils and has a great knowledge of the industry. Cannot rate this enough! We will be returning for more sessions in the future! X
Andy Dews • Sep 2023
Lizzy was so welcoming and knowledgeable about her craft and oil blends. Feel like I was able to learn so much which I can take away and apply to my own business (very early days) along with a lovely candle from the workshop.
Holly Kelly • Jul 2023
This was my first candle making class which I attended with my partner. The class was fantastic and Lizzy was a great teacher. She had a wide range of essential oils and took care in explaining how to blend. This was a really enjoyable experience and something I would highly recommend to others. We will be back!
Pam Jones • Apr 2023
My husband and I had a really fun and informative candle making experience. We would absolutely recommend and are now hooked on scent notes
Thanks so much. Highly recommended

Robbie Troth • Apr 2023
We had a great time creating candles with Lizzy. She was a fantastic teacher, knowledgeable but approachable, kind and chatty. She spoke about how a memory or story can help you develop a scent for your candle and helped me to create one that reminded me of a recent trip to Thailand. The group dynamic was brilliant and the space is beautiful and relaxing! I would recommend this class to anyone and it would make a lovely gift!
Phoebe Elliott • Nov 2022
I booked this class for myself and a friend as part of a birthday gift and we were so impressed by the whole experience. Lizzie was so welcoming and kind and the setting was really beautiful. The class was the perfect mix of technical skill and just having a fun. You will walk away not only with a candle you love but also feeling like you’ve learned/achieved something.
I would 100% recommend this class (and have done) since attending. It was a really special way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Thank you so much Lizzie!
Niall Palmer • May 2022
Had a fantastic time at Lizzy's class. Lizzy guided us through combining and layering our own scents so we came out with our own candle that was completely unique to us. The venue was tucked away in a beautiful little homeware store and as soon as we arrived we were given a glass of prosecco to get us settled and in the mood. Would definitely recommend and do it again!
