Celebrated as one of the standout independent makers in the Cotswolds, Time To Burn Candles brings a fresh, eco-conscious energy to the world of handcrafted home fragrance. Every candle is meticulously made in small batches using natural soy wax, essential oils and beautiful handmade Jesmonite jars, offering not just a product, but a story and a sensory experience that fills any room with warmth and charm.

Handmade and eco-friendly

Hannah, the creative force behind Time To Burn Candles, started her business with a deeply personal mission: to make beautiful, natural candles that were kind to both people and the planet. Hannah focuses on crafting fully handmade, eco-friendly candles, tealights and Jesmonite homewares using soy wax and 100% natural essential oils, all packaged sustainably as well as beautifully.

Sensory wellbeing

The passion for clean, thoughtful design extends to every element of the brand, from the carefully blended scents to the hand-made jars coloured with custom pigments. Hannah’s commitment to eco-conscious materials and sensory wellbeing isn’t just a business choice, it’s the story behind every candle she makes, and the inspiration for the workshops she hosts where guests learn how to create their own bespoke scent blends in a welcoming, social setting.
