Get ready for an unforgettable evening of creativity, craft, and cocktails! Romney Brown Candle Company is teaming up with The Parlor at Pips Meadery: Taproom and Cocktail Lounge for a one-of-a-kind experience that blends candle making with mixology in the most fun and interactive way possible.

This hands-on workshop is designed for anyone who loves to create, sip, and socialize. You’ll start the night by building your own custom-scented candle, choosing from our premium fragrance library to design a blend that perfectly fits your personality or the season. Our friendly team will walk you through every step of the candle-pouring process, from fragrance selection to finishing touches, so you’ll head home with a beautiful handmade candle you crafted yourself.

Next, it’s time to shake things up—literally! You’ll join Joy Sykes, The Parlor’s General Manager and Beverage Director, for an interactive Craft Cocktail Class where you’ll explore bartending basics and learn to create your own signature drink. You’ll use Pips Meadery’s award-winning craft infusions to mix, muddle, and garnish like a pro. Throughout the evening, you’ll also enjoy a Mead Tasting featuring a curated selection of Pips’ handcrafted varieties, each chosen to highlight the artistry behind modern mead.

Whether you come solo, with a partner, or as part of a group, this event is the perfect blend of relaxation, learning, and laughter. It’s an ideal date night, friends’ night out, or early holiday celebration for anyone who enjoys hands-on fun and good drinks in a cozy, creative atmosphere.

Tickets are $40 per person and include a full candle-making experience (your custom-scented candle is yours to take home), a guided craft cocktail class with Joy Sykes, one handcrafted cocktail to enjoy during the event, and a mead tasting featuring selections from Pips Meadery.

We’ll provide everything you need—just bring your creativity and a sense of adventure.
