Minimum of 10 hens
All year round
Whatever you feel comfortable in!
Looking for a chilled, creative hen activity that everyone can enjoy? A candle painting workshop is the perfect way to add something unique to your weekend. The best part? The experience comes straight to your accommodation, so you can sip, chat, and paint in total comfort.
Relax, Sip & Paint
Over two hours, your experienced instructor will guide you through the basics of candle painting, sharing tips and plenty of inspo to get those ideas flowing. Each hen will be given a set of three vegan-friendly tapered candles to decorate using a rainbow of vibrant, vegan-friendly paints.
Make It Personal
This is all about creativity and personal touches. Go bold with graphic shapes, keep it stylish with florals, spell out names or dates, or design patterns inspired by the season. No two candles need to be the same - which makes every set a one-of-a-kind keepsake. Plus, it's the perfect opportunity to create a little something special for the bride, giving her a set of hand-painted candles to treasure.
Sip As You Go
Of course, no hen weekend activity would be complete without drinks. Whether you fancy a cuppa to keep it calm or a glass of fizz to get those creative juices flowing, you're welcome to sip as you paint. It's relaxed, social, and guaranteed to get everyone chatting and laughing as the designs come to life.
Why Hens Love It
Creative, hands-on, and totally unique, this candle painting workshop is a great way to bring the group together. It's the perfect balance of relaxing downtime and fun interaction - and you'll all walk away with your own personalised candles to take home.
