Embrace the magic of the season with our Festive Fragrances candle making workshop, taking place inside the Animal Room at Borde Hill House, beautifully decorated for Christmas.

This relaxed 2-hour experience invites you to create your own bespoke winter wonderland, crafting three votive candles from a selection of enchanting Christmas and winter scents:

  • Spiced Winter evokes the warmth of the season with a comforting blend of cinnamon, clove, and zesty orange, reminiscent of mulled wine and festive baking.

  • Cozy Fireplace invites you to curl up by the fire with its warm, smoky notes blended with hints of spice and a touch of vanilla.

Under the expert guidance of Ursula, the founder of Wax & Willow, the session will guide you through the art of candle making, from selecting the perfect wax to understanding fragrance blending, allowing you to create your own personalised votive candles.

These candles are ideal for filling your home with enchanting aromas or for giving as a gift.

Born from a love of home fragrance, Wax and Willow is a small, independent business based in Worthing, West Sussex. Founded by Ursula, a passionate candlemaker, Wax and Willow weaves the love for beautiful scents into every hand-poured creation.

Driven by Inspiration, not Trends: Ursula’s journey began with a desire to fill her home with captivating fragrances. After learning the art of candle making from an Australian chandler, she embarked on a path of experimentation and refinement. Her dedication resulted in a unique range of candles that capture the essence of nature’s beauty throughout the seasons.

From Crisp Autumn Leaves to Spring Blooms: Wax and Willow’s candles are a delightful dance of scents, transporting you to a world of crisp autumn leaves mingling with warm spices or spring blooms bursting with sunshine. Each season inspires a new olfactory adventure.

Recognition and Exclusivity: Ursula’s talent has been recognized by House and Garden magazine, and her creations have graced the shelves of various outlets. She even crafts exclusive ranges for select companies.

Sustainable and Kind: Sustainability and well-being are paramount at Wax and Willow. Ursula prioritizes using only the finest natural ingredients, including ethically sourced soy wax and cruelty-free, vegan-friendly fragrance oils. Every component is meticulously chosen, ensuring a product that is kind to both you and the planet.
