Running from 5pm to 7pm, the session includes candle-making tuition, materials, afternoon tea and fizz.

What will you make?
During the workshop, guests will learn the basics of candle making while creating a selection of pieces to take home.
The official event listing includes:
A honey jar candle
Votive candles
Tea lights
You will be guided through the process, making this a good option even if you have never tried candle making before.
A festive creative evening
By mid-December, most people have had quite enough of rushing around shops.
This workshop offers something a little slower.
You can spend a couple of hours making something with your own hands, learning a new skill and enjoying the social side of the evening at the same time.
The candles you create could become part of your own Christmas decorations, or perhaps a particularly personal last-minute present.
Afternoon tea and fizz included
Once the making is under way, there is also food to look forward to.
The ticket includes afternoon tea and fizz, adding a relaxed social element to the workshop.
It makes the evening feel more like a festive experience than simply a craft class.
Interested in bell ringing?
You certainly do not need to understand all the terminology to appreciate hearing a church’s bells properly rung.
The Daventry Branch describes its meetings as friendly gatherings and welcomes people who are interested in finding out more about bell ringing.
The branch covers towers across the area, including places such as Byfield, Badby, Braunston, Daventry, Barby and Kilsby.
For somebody living around Byfield, Woodford Halse or the surrounding villages who has ever wondered what actually happens inside a bell tower, this could be a good introduction.

Tickets are £69 per person.
