Our Story

 

Meet Michael the founder of The Bearded Candle Makers.  

His passion lies in creating intriguing scents based on stories and ideas, then carefully making them into perfectly burning candles.  Being from Ireland he were brought up with and around stories, it only felt natural to bring that tradition into his candles. 

Having developed his own scent profiling system which works scents together in new and exciting ways.  

Scent has the power to throw you backwards in time to a memory or help you build pictures in your mind of memories yet to happen.

Every one of his scents has a story about him written into it. Together they are the sensory tales of The Bearded Candle Makers, come along and share the story.

 

IF YOU HAVE ANY PHOTOS OF OUR CANDLES BEING USED WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM.

Team. || Fancy working for us? We are looking to find a new member of the candle team. At the moment it will involve two mornings (Tuesday and Wednesday) in a variety of tasks. Please email us on info@thebeardedcandlemakers.com for more details. ✌️ #bemoreteddy
Rosehip syrup. || Last night I made some rosehip syrup and I will probably never do it again lol. De-seeding the rosehips was one of the most tidious jobs EVER and took hours. Does anyone know of any simple ways of de-seeding them? In fairness it tastes absolutely incredible and meant to be jam packed full of goodness. #autumndelight
Donegal. || We had a few days away there to Donegal and man oh man was it needed. We are back with full swing into the busiest time of year. Today over 300 candles are off to some of our retailers and another 400 are off tomorrow! The next few months are going to be epic!! We have incredible collaborations, events, workshops all over the country and a new range of candles, just on the horizon! Let's do this (and maybe book another cheeky weekend in Donegal!). PS on another note, we are looking to expand our team.... Check out this evenings post for details. #bemoreteddy
An Autumn Gathering. || Sooo we are so SO excited for the Autumn Gathering this year. We will be transforming @cafecuan into a candle lit woodland. On arrival you will be served an incredible gin cocktail using @methodandmadnessgin with local gorse and blackberries. After a quick intro from Michael, we will each be making a scented candle using an incredible burnt honey scent. Followed by beeswax candle rolling! For food, we will have a selection of homemade seasonal delights (we are finalising the recipes at the moment) along with warm spiced cider. To finish off we will all be making a little arrangement using locally foraged blooms and foliage. It should be a night to remember. Tickets are £75 per person and you can pay £25 deposit online and the rest on the night. Which ever suits. Link in the bio for tickets and more info. #autumngathering
Subscriptions candle boxes. || Today we were packing up and sending out all your lovely candle club subscription boxes. A candle send to your door every month! There are a few options e.g. a three month run or each month ongoing. We keep the scents a suprise until they land at your door! If anyone signs up before midnight tonight, you will avail of this month's and not have to wait until November. #thebeardedcandlemakers #bemoreteddy
Monday Vibes. || Feeling this today. Teddy knows how to do it! A few hours on the beach, followed by burrowing into a duvet in front of the fire. #bemoreteddy
Autumn. || I was loving the summer vibes this year, but Autumn well and truly has my soul. Especially this time of year, with the golden sun light and the hedgerows in a riot of colour. It also means our Autumn Gathering, which is happening on the 30th October. An evening celebrating all things Autumn! We will be making a scented soy candle using an incredible burnt honey scent, along with beeswax candle making, sumptuous homemade treats, spiced cider and cocktails. All set within the awesome space of @cafecuan that will be styled around a woodland theme. I'm honestly so excited for this! For tickets and info, hit the link in the bio. Only a few spots left. #autumngathering

An Autumn Gathering. || Folks, we have just launched our Autumn Gathering event! This was a double sell out last year and we are stoked for this years. Join us in @cafecuan for an evening of candle making, beeswax candle rolling, seasonal gin cocktail, homemade blackberry cake, spiced cider and we will be making a mini locally foraged autumn flower and foliage arrangement. There will be soft tunes in the background and the cafe will look amazing. Gentle light from candles and fairy lights with a woodland theme! Ekkk! Ps we have a new option online to pay a deposit now to secure your place and then pay the rest on the night. Get in touch with any questions. #autumngathering
Autumn drinks. || We are almost ready to launch our Autumn Gathering Event folks. Sorry it's been late in coming. We have an awesome gin drink almost perfected for it. Foraged gorse + blackberries with @milginofficial and crushed mint leaves... Clean and crisp perfection. #autumngathering
Breakfast in the trees. || Well I could get used to this. Waking up to dappled light then sitting out on the balcony in the trees for breakfast. Lucky to catch the light this time of year with the leaves still in the trees. It reminds me of a part of the Lord of the rings, when Merry + Pippin stop and look back over the Rohan through the dappled light of Fangorn Forest. #booknerd
Morning folks. || Caught a quick walk on the beach before heading into the studio today. Great way to start the day.... ...until you realise you are now hitting the Ormeau Road traffic again.... 😶
