We are a supplier of Candles, Candle making materials, Candle accessories & Candle Gift ware, The Norfolk Candle company was originally founded in January 1990 to offer a range of handmade candles and candle accessories, 100% of our wares were then sold through craft fairs, fetes and other events, such as the Royal Norfolk Show.

We offer in our web store a wide range of:
