I dont even know where to start!! I'd 100% recommend Hot Wax Newcastle. Since meeting Ash I've never purchased or used a candle from elsewhere. I've quite possibly had every new scent that has been created and love them all. The scent just never fades no matter how many times the candle is lit! We used Hot Wax candles as part of our wedding decoration and favours, and it is now my go to gift for friends and family. ❤️

Candles are gorgeous . All the fragrances I have purchased have been amazing , they scent the room without being overpowering and the candles burn well and last for ages. Service is outstanding with orders arriving beautifully packaged and sent out very promptly.

We went to a workshop in March. It was a Christmas gift for my mum. We had a great time and really enjoyed learning how to make a candle. There were so many amazing scents you could pick from to make your candle.

Very relaxed class, Ash was really friendly and very attentive during the class.

We’d definitely do a class again in the future.

I have purchased several candles from Hot Wax and continue to be delighted with the high quality of my purchases but also the exceptional customer care. I have always been made to feel a very valued customer by Ash and the team.
A recent family wedding had to be arranged at very short notice due to illness and Ash went over and above what I would have expected by arranging a lovely personalised gift which was very much appreciated by the bride and groom. Thank you so much.

Candles smell AMAZING. I’ve also done a Christmas candle making class with my mam and we both absolutely loved it. We attended the 3 year anniversary a few weeks back which was a lovely bash and very thoughtful. Both I have received beautiful goody bags with lovely treats. Owner is absolutely lush also! Highly recommend. I’ve literally bought dozens!!

We went for the candle making class today for Mother's Day and had a fabulous time. When you first walk in you are offered a drink, which is lovely. There was 8 of us, but group numbers are different depending on the venue.

We had clear instructions on how to make the candle and whilst it was setting, we had a chat and it was a lovely group. I bought 3 candles that were on display to smell. Lasted about 90 minutes, we both really nice time.

Love the incredible scent. Its long lasting making my home smell divine. The fact that its environment friendly attracts me. They use 100% natural soy wax and recycled packaging.

Received some wax melts from this company via a friend and have to say I have been very pleased. The quality of the wax is very high with the scent very long lasting but not overpowering. I have been using mine in the downstairs kitchen and lounge and once it travels up it is wonderful.
Would highly recommend.

OMG! If you haven’t tried Coconut & Pineapple get it in your baskets ASAP! Smells absolutely incredible, I bought in wax melts and even when not lit my living room smells delightful ♥️ 10/10 will be ordering again

Unbelievable candles! Would recommended these to anyone looking to buy from an independent seller! The scents that are offered are varied and all smell unreal!

I've been lucky enough to snap up one of the new fragrance in Rose and Oud and I can't believe the quality! Not only does it smell amazing but the scent fills the whole top of the house when I light it in the bath and the smell lasts long after it's been blown out, I've used it every night since I got it, which is about a fortnight now and it's still going strong.
My new favourite candle brand!
