Called into the candle workshops this weekend to see what it was all about. Very pleasantly surprised. Although the venue is quite small there is lots to do for children and the well presented shops sell unusual gifts that you do not see on the high Street. One customer had a candle made whilst he waited in 'African colours'. We all watched the candle maker apply hot wax in various colours to the candle and then finish with a gold trim. It was unique and watching gave us all the inspiration to make a candle ourselves. The area for the public to make a candle was clean tidy and well organised. We did not have to wait and the candle making session was ahit with us ...  Read the complete review

Reasonable prices for children's activities delivered with brilliant customer service. Restaurant very clean tidy and again reasonable. A brilliant place to go to take the children and shop for house and gifts. Clearly credit to the owners that have made the refurbishments to the place, a MASSIVE improvement! Loved the place great experience will definitely go again!!!!

The most depressing and extortionate outing we have ever had the misfortune to experience. I used to go here as a kid myself, so decided to take my young daughter there for a visit - all the way from Manchester. It was genuinely upsetting to see just how badly it has been let go. We decided to eat at the cafe, ignoring the obvious warning of there being nobody in it at lunch time on a very pleasant day.

Easy to find as it's well signposted, with a generous (but uneven gravel surfaced, so watch for pot holes) car park, free toilets and cafe restaurant offering drinks, snacks and main meals, activities fr children and of course selling a lot of candles and candle related items as well as general giftware; the Candle Workshops is a nice morning or afternoon out for any age. Also nearby are Cheshire Ice Creams (more family orientated, with play area, cafe, shop and viewing of animals), Beeston Castle ruins- rather steep and not very disabled access friendly) and plenty of country walks across lovely green landscapes. A combination of these with the Workshops ...  Read the complete review

The Cheshire Candle Workshops is a great place to visit for adults and children alike, we always make a point of stopping there after visiting the Cheshire Ice Cream Farm (also in Tattenhall, Cheshire) I've done a review on the Ice Cream Farm too. As the name suggests, it started out as a candle workshops but has become a small tourist attraction in it's own right. It has a lovely little restaurant, a large downstairs candle shop, an area where the children can make their own candles, independant retail craft stalls on the ground and first floor and lots of activities to do on the first floor for ...  Read the complete review
