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 all- even my teenage son.!!!
My partner also painted a beautiful pottery model and the kids made badges. I am not much of an artist myself so decided whilst everyone else was being creative to enjoy the sunshine and the glorious views on the patio area -Snugburys ice cream was great!!!
Whilst the kids enjoyed more sand bottle filling activities we did some shopping and then the kids let off steam in the outdoor play area. Relaxed and with lots of things to take back with us we then made our way home.
