Candlemaking & Cocktails at Marmadukes, 31st January

£65.00

Start the New Year with something beautifully different; an inspiring evening designed to reset, refresh, and spark your creativity.

Expect calming scents, hands-on crafting, and a relaxed atmosphere — the perfect antidote to the post-holiday rush and the ideal way to welcome 2026 on a bright, mindful note.

What to Expect

6.30 – 8.30pm

We’ll guide you through the full candle-making process – from selecting and sampling 14 beautifully curated essential oils to blending your own bespoke scent and pouring it into a handmade ceramic vessel by the talented Grey Suit Clay.

Alongside the candle-making, you’ll enjoy a delicious freshly made cocktail on arrival, a spread of tasty bites, and the buzz of Marmadukes’ welcoming atmosphere. Additional drinks – including cocktails, wine and soft options – will be available to purchase on the night.

Your Candle

You’ll create a Tapered Refillable Candle, designed to be restyled and reused. After the workshop, choose to refill with one of our Signature Scents, or we’ll custom-blend refills using your unique creation – so your fragrance journey can continue long after the evening ends.

Gift With Style

Treat someone special to a truly memorable experience. We offer digital Gift Vouchers – easy for sharing and ideal for when you’re not sure which date to pick.
