Craft Your Own Festive Scented Candle with Sari

Join us for a festive candle-making workshop in our cosy underground space at the London Souvenir Shop, led by Ambustum: a small, independent candle studio based in London known for their beautifully crafted, hand-poured candles.

Ambustum (from the Latin word meaning burn) believes that’s all that really matters: long-lasting, clean-burning, beautiful candles made with you in mind. Each candle is poured in small batches with care and intention, and now, you’ll get to experience that same process firsthand.

Guided by one of Ambustum’s makers, you’ll create your own luxurious scented candle from scratch using a natural coconut and rapeseed wax blend, mixed with your choice of festive-inspired fragrances. Think warming spices, winter woods, and hints of citrus.

You’ll also pick up expert tips on fragrance blending, wax pouring, and candle care — everything you need for that perfect, even burn (no tunnelling here!).

After the workshop, head upstairs to browse Ambustum’s full collection, available to purchase exclusively in our shop.
