Candle maker Annie Maulding at Wick and a Prayer workshop, Tissington, Derbyshire.

Copy link for full story: If you’re used to people waxing-lyrical about foreign imports flooding the shops each Christmas then you’ll be surprised to see one seasonal must-have that is not being mass-produced in some far-flung continent. The trade in hand-made British candles is booming this year with one tiny workshop in The Peak District, literally burning the midnight-oil as they work double shifts to keep up with demand for their premium candles. “There’s been a definite up-turn in people spending on life’s luxuries,” said Annie Maudling, 48, who owns ‘On a Wick and a Prayer’, and has been making candles from her workshop in Tissington, Derbyshire for the last 14 years.
