We are a small company who started trading in 2004 but the partnership already had nine years experience in this field. Extensive research has been undertaken by us into the history of lighting and its consequences on society.As costumed performers we can demonstrate candlemaking with an emphasis on various periods - medieval, Tudor, seventeen century, eighteenth century or Victorian. The demonstrations are accompanied by an interesting talk on lighting during that,and other periods. We have artifacts, some original, some reproductions which we use to give "hands on" experience. Our customers include English Heritage, National Trust,County councils and local councils, museums, castles, schools, re-enactment Fayres,historical lecturers and re-enactors. We are regular traders at re-enactment Fayres,etc. Our children's candle workshops are very popular as they allow 'hands on' creativity. Our candles are all handcrafted to a high standard and where handpainted detail is applied, non toxic paints are used. Our range of products and services are continually expanding. Please contact us for our latest information.

We have been engaged by the Cromwell Museum several times, each time attendance at the museum has increased considerably.
Do you know the history of medieval candles? As medieval chandlers we can entertain, demonstrate and inform our audiences - your visitors.
Candy stripes - not very 19th century. The sponsor insisted on the stripes so we endeavoured to look as 19th century as possible and a great day was had by all - the sponsor was delighted. This picture shows that you, the sponsor, get what he wants.
