The Best Creative Escape: Candle Making Experiences in Guelph & Fergus

There is a certain magic to life in Wellington County. It’s in the historic limestone walls of Fergus and the vibrant, artisan energy of Guelph. But if you’re looking for fun things to do in Guelph or Fergus, sometimes you want to do more than just window shop; you want to create! 

At The Scented Market, we’ve turned our love for home fragrance into a hands-on adventure. Our Candle Making Experiences are hosted at both our Guelph and Fergus locations, offering a cozy retreat for locals and visitors alike.

Two Towns, Two Unique Vibes

Whether you’re a Guelph local or taking a day trip to Fergus, we have a seat waiting for you!

• The Guelph Experience (Edinburgh Rd S): Centrally located and perfect for a mid-week creative reset or a weekend kick off before heading downtown for dinner. Our Guelph location offers an elevated "Sip & Pour" vibe. We serve wine to enjoy while you craft, making it the premier destination for a sophisticated date night or a girl's night out.
• The Fergus Experience (St. Andrew St. W): Nestled in the heart of Ontario’s most charming small town. It’s the perfect "Grand River" day trip! Start your morning with a stroll by the falls and local boutique shopping, and then come in to pour your own candle. 

What to Expect: 2 Hours of Pure Bliss

We’ve designed our workshops to be as effortless as they are fun. Here’s what’s included: 

• The Craft: Pour your very own 8 oz soy candle with all supplies provided.
