The Lancashire Candle Company

24/08/2026

A pretty big milestone for The Lancashire Candle Company arrived last week… in the form of five cardboard boxes! 😂🤍

This is my first ever bulk order of candle glass.

Until now, I’ve always bought our candle vessels in much smaller quantities, so committing to a bulk order felt like quite a big step for the business.

And you might have spotted something else…

Our glass is changing. 👀

In the comparison photo, our current white glass is on the right, alongside our new glass on the left. The new vessel is slightly larger, while keeping the clean, minimal white glass look that I love for the collection.

The candle in our current glass is also a little sneak peek of one of the new Autumn fragrances I’ve been working on ready for September. 🍂🕯️

And there’s more happening behind the scenes too. I’m still working on the idea of making our glass candles refillable. There’s plenty of testing to do before I know whether I can make it work exactly as I want it to, but it’s something I’m really keen to develop. ♻️

It might just look like a delivery of glass, but for a small business, placing my first bulk order feels like a huge milestone.

Hundreds of new vessels waiting for me when I get back into the studio. 🤍

I think September is going to be a busy one…

We’re so pleased to be supporting East Lancashire Hospice’s Raise the WOOF! Dog Show today by sponsoring the Prettiest Lady class! 🐾🌸

A little holiday work, but I can’t complain about the office today ☀️💻

While Rob’s out playing golf, I’ve found myself a sunny spot to catch up on a few bits for The Lancashire Candle Company.

I might technically be away, but there are always ideas being scribbled down, plans being made and little things happening behind the scenes.

Business owner life… just with a slightly better view today 🤍🌿

Apparently this is what a golf holiday looks like when you don’t actually play golf… ☀️📖⛳️

A good book, blue skies and a very peaceful view while the golfers do their thing.

I could definitely get used to this version of the game. 🤍

A little something different from the studio 🤍

This personalised candle was created for a client celebrating Archie’s 17th birthday — hand-poured in Rhubarb & Elderflower and then engraved using my xTool to create a completely bespoke gift.

I love being able to add that extra personal touch to our candles. Whether it’s a birthday, wedding, anniversary or simply a message that means something to someone, engraving transforms a candle into something completely unique.

And once the candle is lit, you still get the beautiful fragrance experience too — this one combines crisp rhubarb with delicate elderflower for a fresh, beautifully balanced scent.

Have an idea you’d like engraved onto a candle? Send me a message and we can create something together 🤍

Hand-poured & engraved in Lancashire.

A little studio update 🤍

The Lancashire Candle Company studio will be closed from 19th August until 1st September while I take a short summer break.

If you’ve been thinking about placing an order, please do so before the studio closes so I can get everything made, packed and on its way to you before I leave.

The website will remain open while I’m away, but any orders placed during this time will begin to be processed when I return.

And when the studio doors reopen on 1st September, something rather lovely will be waiting…

The Autumn Edit. 🍂

Thank you, as always, for supporting my little Lancashire business.

How to look after your candles in this hot weather

* Keep candles out of direct sunlight
* Avoid leaving them on windowsills, in conservatories or very hot cars
* Store them somewhere cool, dry and level
* Heat can soften wax, especially natural waxes
* If a candle has softened, let it return to room temperature before lighting
* Keep the wick trimmed as normal before burning

Aurea, made their way. 🤍

For this refillable candle, our client chose Soft Stone for the vessel and Aurea for the fragrance — a beautifully understated combination.

That’s one of the things we love about our refillable collection: you choose the finish that suits your home, then pair it with the fragrance you want to live with.

Personal, considered and designed to be enjoyed again and again.

A little hello to all our new followers 🤍

EllEllen PressSarSarah Louise Humphreyelcome to The Lancashire Candle Company.

We’re a small Lancashire business creating home fragrance designed to become part of the way your home feels — beautiful scents, considered details and pieces you’ll want to leave on display.

Everything is made by hand, from our soy wax candles and home fragrance to our refillable collection and the vessels we create here in Lancashire.

And right now, behind the scenes, I’m working on something rather special for autumn… 🍂

There are new colours, new fragrances and plenty of testing happening before I’m happy enough to put The Lancashire Candle Company name on them.

If you’ve recently found us, I’d love to know — where did you discover us?

And to those of you who’ve been here for a while, thank you for continuing to follow along. 🤍
