Cosy Cottage Makers' Day - Soap-Making, Candle-Making + A Delicious Lunch With Us
NEW for 2025
Spend a whole day crafting and enjoy a free delicious lunch with us in Malton
Create beautiful, unique candles and soaps to take home with you!
Join us for the day in our Malton, Navigation Wharf workshop for a glorious, relaxing crafting day. In the morning, create two large (300ml) or several smaller 100% soy wax, scented candles, then in the afternoon, we enjoy a session of palm oil free soap-making, making six bars of your own signature, cold process soap to take home. We will share a delicious lunch together and there will be time to wander around Malton's Market Place after lunch too, if you wish.
