Hello, and thank you for taking the time to learn more about my business.

I’m Trisha, the founder of Manchester Candle Makers.

Growing up in Manchester shaped so much of who I am today. My childhood was filled with long days outdoors, exploring rivers, muddy fields, and woodland trails. Those wild, carefree adventures instilled in me a lifelong love of nature and creativity—both of which remain at the heart of everything I do.

Crafting has always been a passion of mine, and candles became a natural extension of that creative journey. Each fragrance I develop is inspired by the outdoors, designed to capture a feeling, a place, or a memory. Scents hold incredible power—they can transport us to another time, unlock forgotten emotions, and create moments of calm and connection in our daily lives.

All of my candles and wax melts are handmade in small batches in Mossley, on the edge of Manchester. From my home studio, I carefully hand-pour every piece, creating a collection of Manchester candles that blend quality craftsmanship with nature-inspired fragrances.

At its core, Manchester Candle Makers is about more than just beautiful scents—it’s about storytelling, memory, and connection. Every candle is an invitation to pause, reflect, and enjoy a moment that feels entirely your own.

"Thanks for being part of my adventure and helping my new business grow. I appreciate all of you my lovely customers"
