About us

Candle by Events is the candle-making experience company based in Marlow, Buckinghamshire. We run weekly events all around candle-making in our Marlow studio and at the City of Westminster College, London plus other venues across the country.

Founded in 2008 by Sarah Ditchfield, the business started off producing candles for shops, hotels and restaurants. In 2012 we built our candle-making studio and began running open workshops for beginners plus themed candle-making events around Easter, Christmas and other celebrations. We also run children parties, family fun days, hen parties and corporate team building events - all around candle-making. Besides hands-on candle-making we coach and support candle-making entrepreneurs helping them set up their own successful businesses.  

In addition to our face-to-face workshops we run online courses - these provide all the equipment and materials you need (sent to your door) together with videos taking you step-by-step through all the techniques to learn and make your own fabulous candles at home. The online workshop includes membership to our Facebook group and regular live webinars where our members continue to learn new techniques and where we help them solve any candle-making challenges. 

Our founder has written two candle-making books published by Dorling Kindersley and Search Press, which can be purchased in book shops and online.
