My Story

🌿 Welcome to Ankerwycke Candles

Hi, I’m Wendy — maker, fragrance lover, and founder of Ankerwycke Candles, launched in Surrey in November 2020 after months of research, trial, and (quite a bit of) error!

Like many, I discovered wax melts during lockdown. After treating myself to some online, I was left a bit underwhelmed — broken bars, overpowering scents, and not much personality. So, I decided to have a go myself!

Six months (and plenty of waxy experiments) later, Ankerwycke Candles was born. Every scent I create is hand-poured and carefully balanced — never too strong, never too subtle — just beautifully fragranced and made with love.

I’m passionate about keeping things eco-friendly and local, using UK suppliers, sustainable materials, and recyclable packaging wherever possible.

Thank you so much for stopping by and supporting my small business — it truly means the world.
Have a browse, read some reviews, and hopefully, I’ll be sending a little box of fragrance your way soon!

Much love,
Wendy x
