🎁 The Yule Stillroom: Candles, Balms & Warm Spiced Things
Step into the glow of the stillroom this December, where winter dark meets candlelight, and herbs carry warmth through the cold.
This intimate workshop (for two guests only) is a chance to craft by firelight, sip spiced teas, and weave small treasures of care for the season.
What we’ll make together:
🌟A hand-poured beeswax candle, scented with festive herbs and citrus
🌟A soothing winter balm, blended with warming oils for cold hands and hearts
🌟A hand-stitched sweet bag sachet, filled with petals and spice to tuck into drawers or hang by the hearth
✨Duration: 3 hours
✨All materials provided
✨Exchange: £65 per person
✨Limited to 2 guests — a quiet, personal making experience
✨Location: my home in Bookham, Surrey (near Leatherhead), a small Tudor-style space lined with herbs, bottles, and old apothecary charm. Exact address provided upon booking
🌞 Leave with glowing hands, scented pockets, and a little light to carry through the winter.
