Handmade Candles, Wax Melts and Diffusers in Weston-super-Mare

Handmade Candles, Wax Melts and Diffusers in Weston-super-Mare at The Curious Hideaway, Weston-super-Mare

Two very different candle makers share our shelves, and both make everything by hand. Whether you want something soft and pretty or a candle shaped like a skull, you will find it here.

ScarWick Candles

Scarlett’s range now puts the focus on custom reed diffusers. You choose from five coloured stones and pair them with a fragrance oil, so each one feels personal. She also makes hanging air diffusers for the car or wardrobe, in scents such as Frankincense and Dark Angel, plus hand-painted wax melts and pillar candles shaped like skulls, dragons and runes.


Dahlia Wax Candles

A handmade North Somerset brand making scented soy wax candles, wax melts and decorative wax flower bouquets. Elegant glass candles sit next to striking statement pieces with skulls, snakes and hearts in rich, moody colours. The shelf also carries smudge sticks, smudge bowls and rock salt tea light holders.

Common questions

Are the candles made locally?

Dahlia Candles is a North Somerset brand, and everything from ScarWick Candles is made by hand by Scarlett.

What makes a good candle gift?

A choose-your-own reed diffuser lets someone have a colour and scent you picked for them, and a wax flower bouquet lasts rather longer than the real thing. If they like things darker, go for a skull or snake candle.
