A sign just outside the town of Oughterard on the Galway side invites
one to travel along a narrow country road towards the distant mountains.The lane winds and meanders for about 200m and leads to the chandler’s cottage, a true haven of craftsmanship.
The candle factory is situated in what was once a barn, but is now a quaint little shop surrounded by flowers. The candles range from cones to stars to pyramids and pillars.These in turn can be beautifully hand painted or delicately scented. Many years of experience is applied to making our candles, which are hand made. They will not drip or create sooty smoke unless in a draught. A small volume of our candles are individually hand painted.
There is a variety of patterns to choose from including: Butterflies, Ivy, Tulips and Shamrocks. Coloured wax is used to provide the colours. One of the main markets for Connemara Candles is the supply of dinner candles for hotels and restaurants. They can be coloured to match the décor of their destination as with all our candles.
