Celebrate, Create & Sparkle at Candles of the Forest

If you’re looking for a hen party that feels personal, creative and beautifully memorable, a candle-making celebration at Candles of the Forest offers something truly special. Set in our cute and cosy studio in the heart of the New Forest, our hen parties are private, relaxed events designed to feel intimate, luxurious and full of joy. Instead of noisy bars or crowded venues, you’ll enjoy laughter, creativity and Prosecco bubbles in a warm, welcoming space with candles, scents and thoughtful details at the centre of your celebration.

A Private Hen Party, Just for Your Group

Every hen party at Candles of the Forest is a private event, reserved exclusively for your group. With a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 10 guests, the experience feels personal and unhurried, perfect for meaningful moments with friends and family. Hen parties can be booked at a time and date that suits you, making it easy to fit into your wider hen party plans in the New Forest.

Choose Your Perfect Candle-Making Experience

Your group can choose from three different candle-making classes, depending on the style and experience you’d like. From classic hand-poured candles to creative wax melts and floral designs, each workshop is guided step-by-step and suitable for beginners.

If you’d like something extra special, your class can even be tailor-made for your hen party designed around your theme or creative ideas. No experience is needed, just curiosity and a love of beautiful things. View our candle making classes here.

Thoughtful Celebration Touches Included

To make your hen party feel like a true celebration, we take care of the details that make all the difference.

Your Hen Party studio experience includes:

🎈 Studio decorated with balloons
🥂 Complimentary pink and white prosecco
🧀 Savoury nibbles for your group
🎂 Optional celebration cakes or floral cupcakes from a local artisan baker

These touches transform the workshop into a warm, festive occasion without losing the calm, cosy atmosphere that makes the studio so special.

Personalised Candle Keepsakes for the Bride & Hens

One of the most loved features of our hen parties is the opportunity to create truly personal

keepsakes.

We can engrave candle lids with:

The bride’s name
The hen party date
A special message or phrase chosen by your group

It’s a beautiful way to mark the occasion and give the bride & hens a lasting reminder of the celebration, something meaningful, handmade and unique.
