More About Our

Design Your Own Scented Candle

The Design Your Own Scented Candle workshop is a richly sensory and creative experience that guides participants through the craft of artisan soy candle making from start to finish. Expert instructors introduce the history of candle making, explain the properties of eco-friendly soy wax, and guide each guest through the art of fragrance blending, the moment where creativity truly comes alive. Participants experiment with fragrance combinations to create their ideal scent profile before pouring their candles and completing the finishing details.

The result is a beautiful, bespoke, long-lasting soy candle that each guest takes home as a genuinely unique creation. Soy wax is chosen for this workshop because of its clean-burning properties, longer burn time compared to paraffin alternatives, and more sustainable production credentials, all qualities that resonate with today’s environmentally aware participants.

The workshop appeals equally to those with no prior craft experience and those who already appreciate artisan homeware and fragrance. It is an ideal activity for hen parties where the group wants something memorable and sensory, for birthday celebrations with a creative twist, for corporate team building events where creativity and collaboration are the priorities, and for wellbeing days where the focus is on sensory engagement and calm.

New Wave Events delivers this event with a professional event manager on site, £10m public liability insurance, full material and equipment provision, free venue finding, and quality assurance across every session.

What to

 Expect

.

Candle making workshops have consistently ranked among the most popular craft experiences searched in the UK, and the soy candle making format has become particularly sought-after thanks to the combination of sustainability credentials, sensory richness, and the quality of the finished product. For event organisers, this workshop offers a premium feel at an accessible price point, guests leave with something genuinely valuable, both as an experience and as a physical item.

The fragrance blending element is consistently cited as the highlight of the experience. Choosing between floral, woody, citrus, and aromatic notes and crafting a personal scent from their combinations gives participants a creative decision-making process that is both engaging and personal. No two candles smell exactly alike, which makes the finished products feel truly individual.

For corporate events, the Design Your Own Scented Candle workshop supports several common team building objectives: it encourages individual creativity, creates natural conversation between participants, and produces a shared outcome that the group has achieved together. It is particularly effective as a reward event, a welcome experience at an away day, or a creative kickoff to a conference or corporate gathering.

New Wave Events can accommodate a wide range of group sizes for this event and provides end-to-end support from initial enquiry through to on-the-day delivery. Free venue finding support is available for groups who need help locating the right space across the UK.

What is soy wax and why is it used in this workshop?
Soy wax is a natural, plant-derived wax made from soybean oil. It is chosen for this workshop because it burns more cleanly and for longer than conventional paraffin wax, and it is a more sustainable and eco-friendly material. Candles made with soy wax are also better at holding fragrance, which enhances the sensory quality of the finished product.
Yes, fragrance selection and blending is one of the highlights of the experience. Participants explore a range of fragrance options and create their own unique scent combination under the guidance of the expert instructor. This personalisation means every candle is genuinely one of a kind.
