Join us for a cosy Christmas craft workshop in Surrey, where you'll discover the magic of beeswax, botanicals and the winter hearth.

In this hands-on beeswax firelighter workshop, you'll create a big collection of beautiful natural firelighters using beeswax and seasonal botanical materials.

We'll explore the fascinating world of beeswax, winter traditions and folklore, while you spend a relaxed afternoon making something practical, beautiful and completely your own.

Make Your Own Natural Firelighters

During the workshop, you'll create three different styles of handmade beeswax firelighters:

🌲 Beeswax-dipped pinecones

🍯 Botanical firelighter cakes

🐝 Hearth & Hive beeswax firelighter bombs

You'll have a beautiful selection of natural herbs, spices, flowers and woodland botanicals to choose from as you create and personalise your collection.

What You'll Take Home

You'll leave with a collection of your own natural beeswax firelighters, beautifully packaged and ready for cosy winter fires or thoughtful Christmas gifting.
