About Candle by Parties

Candle by Parties was founded in 2008 by Sarah Ditchfield and is the sister company of Candle by Events.

We started off producing candles for shops, hotels and restaurants. In 2012 we built our candle-making studio in Marlow, Buckinghamshire and began running unperson 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 across the UK - all around candle-making. We also run virtual online parties, workshops and courses, these are supported by kits, online videos and LIVE workshops.   Besides hands-on candle-making we coach and support candle-making entrepreneurs helping them set up and grow their own successful businesses. 

Our founder has written two candle-making books published by Dorling Kindersley and Search Press, which can be purchased in book shops and online. She has also published an eBook, which is available as a Kindle download.

"Sarah ran a party for 40 children through Zoom.  She kept the children engaged teaching them how to make candles out of beeswax.  The feedback from the parents was amazing.  Thank you, Candle by Parties!”
