We’ve had a few messages recently from people who were left disappointed when a well-known Northumberland candle company suddenly stopped trading.
Some had gift vouchers they couldn’t use. Others had booked onto workshops that are no longer happening. One even told us they’d bought candles every Christmas and didn’t know where to go next.
If that’s you — we’re really sorry to hear it.



At Hot Wax, we’re an independent candle business based in Newcastle upon Tyne. We’re known for our eco-friendly values, our soy wax candles, and our fun Candle & Cocktail workshops around the North East.
We’ve already welcomed a few people who were affected, and we’d love to do the same for you — whether you’re after a thoughtful gift, a unique experience, or a scent to brighten your home.
To make things a little easier, you can use the code NORTH10 for 10% off your first order or workshop booking.
You can browse our collection of handmade candles here, or check out our upcoming workshops here.
