A Cumbrian business is encouraging people to get creative by creating their very own candles. 

The Victorian Candle Co. is launching its autumnal themed candle-making masterclasses this month, giving Carlisle residents the opportunity to make three candles using the business' seasonal fragrances.

The masterclasses will be held weekly on a Wednesday from October 9, with two additional workshops on Saturday October 12 and 26. 

Aidan Blackett, co-owner of The Victorian Candle Co., said: "The sessions are designed to be both relaxing and educational, offering a hands-on experience for all skill levels."

Attendees will learn all about the art of candle making and take a tour around the Lowther-Street based offices whilst sipping on a glass of prosecco - or a soft drink. 

Tickets cost £35 and can be purchased on The Victorian Candle Co. website.
