I have just received my first delivery and am chuffed to bits. Gorgeous candles well packaged and smell divine. Have a mate here who is now looking to place an order. This won't be my last purchase.

Written by the company

Ignite Candles wasn’t born in a boardroom or brainstormed over lattes. Nope — it began in bed. Literally. Our founder was a full-time headteacher with a packed schedule and a passion for education — until long COVID brought everything to a screeching halt. Body said “nope,” but the brain said “I’m still here, pal.” With muscles on strike but the mind flickering like a stubborn tealight, something had to give. Enter candle making. What began as a way to keep the mind glowing during recovery quickly turned into a full-blown wax addiction. Scents were tested. Wicks were wicked. The kitchen looked like a waxy crime scene. But slowly, through trial, error, and singed eyebrows, the flame of a new purpose was lit. Fast forward a few years and a big move from Yorkshire to Hartlepool, and we opened our first shop in September 2024. Not just any shop — a dream fully melted and poured into reality. Along the way, we even convinced mum to move up from Wales and join the madness. Now we’re proudly a family-run business, powered by love, caffeine, and dangerously strong opinions about fragrance notes. Thanks to a game-changing innovation grant (and a whole lot of graft), Ignite Candles is now in full glow. We’re proof that even when life blows out your flame, you can relight it — preferably with something that smells like rhubarb & custard or “freshly baked nostalgia.” So if you’re into weirdly wonderful scents, lovingly hand-poured chaos, and candles with character — you’re in the right place.

Candle making workshop

Craig and his mum were great hosts for my daughter, granddaughter and myself, which was a birthday gift for me.
Very friendly with good instructions as to what to do.
We all worked on two candles each with lots of very pretty wax flowers to decorate each one, included piping wax. Fascinating.
Had a lovely time and would love to go back for more. Purchased a couple of preprepared candles.
Very happy with the whole experience.
Thank you x

Fantastic wax melts!

Fantastic selection of wax melts!

I was fed up of supermarket-bought wax melts which seemed low quality and poor value. I was amazed at the range of scents available - a highlight being my favourite Zoflora scent!

Really powerful, long-lasting scent - will definitely be back for more!

Beautiful Candles

Having bought many candles from Ignite for presents and for my home, I can highly recommend. They are beautifully designed and they smell gorgous, wouldn't buy any others now.
If your looking for a unique present or for wedding favours/centrepieces or just for the home ..this is the shop to go.
Just love them !!!

Impeccable service

I’ve had a couple of candles now, for me it’s the beautiful and long lasting fragrance. The range is huge and my best friends Frenchie dog candle was a real hit. Thoughtful packaged, you feel like they were made just for you.

Candle making workshop

I did the candle making workshop with my mam and twin daughters. Was so much fun and we came away with 2 candles that we made, and chose the scents for. Was a lovely afternoon together, really relaxed atmosphere
