Sarah Ditchfield

Sarah Ditchfield’s candle-making journey started after her husband bought her a candle-making kit one Christmas. She developed her skills and began to experiment with different types of waxes, dyes and f ragrances. Sarah sold many of her initial creations to independent shops, hotels and restaurants.

In 2012, Sarah launched her company, Candle by Events, which runs candle-making workshops for individuals and organizations. Her company also runs corporate events, parties and family fun days at locations across the UK. Candle by Events also produces candle-making kits and runs live online workshops.
