The Pure Scent Homemade Candles
Biog
Hi, I am Fernando and the owner of The Pure Scent Handmade Candles.
Combining my interest in design, photography and beautiful sustainable home items, it was only a matter of time before I started my own business. The Pure Scent Handmade candles began back in 2016 as a hobby and have grown into a full-time job after the pandemic hit us all. It all began with the intention of making something I could call my own and all the positive feedback from customers kept The Pure Scent going and growing strong.
With a big online presence and branching out to shops across London, the brand is getting bigger but always maintaining the charm of a local and home-based business.
Talking about being a home-based business, I am a proud resident of E17 Walthamstow, this beautiful part of London I call home. We are a big local community full of creative people, with small businesses taking the centre stage. From Christmas Markets, hand deliveries and local shops, we are definitely increasing our presence in the borough.
I think the journey for The Pure Scent is just beginning. Starting from just a few scents and sizes, we now offer more than 10 beautiful fragrances in more varieties of sizes. We have increased our gift options, which now include personalised candles. Also, our beautiful wax melts, which are amazingly popular and not forgetting our unique wooden burners which are unique in their own way.
Last but not least, don't hesitate to reach out if you wish to know more about the business. We would love to hear from you! @thepurescent

West Green House
Biog
West Green House, The Opera Garden is situated in this unspoilt corner of Hampshire and close to the attractive village of Hartley Wintney.
One of the all-time greatest operatic comedies comes to West Green.
The lecherous but lovable buffoon Falstaff, with his infamous roving eye, devises a wild plan to seduce Alice Ford and Meg Page in the hope of extracting some cash from their rich husbands. The merry wives catch on to his scheming and decide to teach the knight a lesson he’ll never forget! Shakespeare’s iconic characters come to vivid life in Richard Studer and Jonathan Lyness’ new production of Verdi’s last opera, reminding us that “tutto nel mondo è burla” — all the world’s a joke!
Music by Giuseppe Verdi Libretto by Arrigo Boito adapted from Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor and Henry IV An opera in three acts sung in Italian
