MADE @ The Local

Candle Making Parties

The only candle-making party option in Hickman County: custom scents, 2 hours, and a call ahead so the wax is ready.

Hickman County candle party

Pour candles together without leaving Centerville

MADE @ The Local is the candle party option in Hickman County for groups who want a hands-on activity in town. Guests choose scents, pour custom candles, and spend the party around one table.

The important part: candle parties must call ahead. Wax takes 1.5 hours to heat, so advance notice is what makes the party start on time.

A candle party with pottery next door

Groups can keep the plan simple with candles, or pair candle making with pottery painting for a longer creative afternoon.

Pottery works differently: walk-ins are welcome, no reservation is needed, and finished pieces are ready for pickup after firing.
