✨ My Final Christmas Fair of 2025! ✨
And what a place to finish the season… the breathtaking Drumlanrig Castle! 🏰🎄

I’ll be there with all my hand-poured candles, melts, reed diffusers and festive fragrances — ready to fill your home with Christmas magic (and maybe help you finish that last-minute gift list 😉).

If you’ve never been to Drumlanrig Castle before, honestly… it’s worth the trip just for the scenery. And with their Christmas Market taking over the grounds, it’s going to look straight out of a winter postcard.

I’ll be there Saturday 6th & Sunday 7th December — come find me, say hello, and let me scent up your season! 🎅✨

Here’s the official event info from Drumlanrig themselves 👇
£5 per car, includes access to the Market and Gardens.

Can’t wait to see you there for my final festive hurrah of the year! 🎄🕯️💛

Just one month to go!❄️

We can’t help but wonder… will the Estate look this magical when the Christmas Market returns next month? ✨

Whatever the weather brings, you can count on a truly festive winter experience - twinkling lights, seasonal stalls, delicious treats, and plenty of Christmas cheer.

🎄 Saturday 6 & Sunday 7 December
🎟 Entry just £5 per car, including access to the Market and Gardens.

Right then… it’s officially Christmas Market season 🎄✨
I’ll be at this event (Rival Arts Ltd Christmas fair @ Wentworth Leisure Centre, Hexham) with my Hamish Candles stall — armed with cosy scents, festive favourites, and my usual charm (debatable, I know).
Come over, say hello, have a sniff, and treat yourself… or at least pretend you’re buying gifts for other people.
See you there!
