✨Happy weekend!

✨It’s starting to feel a wee bit Christmassy around these parts with @brilliantbrighton’s festive afternoon on Saturday, festive menu launches, and the first of the Xmas markets (@leweschristmasmarket and @thebarnlittlelondon this weekend) a little further afield.

✨But there’s more to this weekend than Christmas: You’ll find our weekend guide in all its sparkling glory (with lots of non-festive fun too) over on the site.

🕯️Crunchy leaves, pumpkins, fires, and the perfect excuse to crack open another candle? Yep, we love autumn in all its unseasonable glory.

🕯️Speaking of candles, sticking firmly to our mantra that you can never have enough candles, we went along to @haute_flame’s new Sip and Wick candle-making and -painting workshop to make some of our own. And, spoiler alert, #it was an absolute joy!

🕯️You can read our full review over on the website, but if you fancy a cosy afternoon making your own piece of fragrant wax glory, there’s another workshop this weekend.

🕯️Even better, you can get a very sweet 10 percent off with our special discount code. Which you’ll also find in the article (guess you’ll have to read it, sorry).
