Handcrafted with purpose
Our Story
After suffering from a life threatening illness and overcoming some monumental family life changes I decided to start experimenting with candle making as a way to lose myself in something and distract my mind... what started as a hobby for my own “self help” turned into friends and family asking me to make things for gifts... new homes, birthdays etc and so it began....
So with the help and support of my partner, who believed in me even when I didn’t, Dovecote Northumberland was born....
We hope you enjoy this carefully selected range as much as we do...each individual item is lovingly made by hand with attention to detail, positive energy and a passion for quality, we create beautiful products for everyday living in a happy environment.
Distilled from nature
100% SOY WAX
At Dovecote, we intentionally craft all-natural, botanical products made to complement whole living. A family business, Dovecote emerged from the belief that all home goods, whether luxury or necessity, should be made with clean and safe ingredients.
We only use wooden wicks & no need to trim at first light, you must remove the burnt wood off your wick in between burns.
The majority of candles on the market contain Paraffin wax -- a petroleum by-product that may contaminate the air with petrol-carbon soot. This is why we choose to use 100% soy wax, a vegetable-based wax made from the oil of soy beans.

Our Studio
Handcrafted with purpose
Our production process is centred around handcrafting your favourite goods in artisanal, small batches. Each pitcher of soy wax and essential oils is measured and mixed by hand, allowed to cool, then poured into prepared vessels for curing.
