Collection: Pintail Candles

James and Fiona grew up surrounded by amazing Cumbrian scenery and wildlife which has not only inspired the candles they make but also their company name.  Pintail Candles are made in the little fishing village of Flookburgh on Morecambe Bay. The Bay is an important home to a wide variety of wildfowl and as a keen birdwatcher, James named the business after the beautiful Pintail duck which nests in the surrounding wetlands and marshes. With their gorgeous colouring and elegance, the Pintail duck is the epitome of Pintail Candles.

James first started Pintail Candles over 25 years ago when the number of boutique candle makers could be counted on one hand. As a true creative pioneer, he was one of the first in the UK to make candle tins, a product which he has been associated with ever since.

Signature candles include the iconic Paint Pot candles in 40 fabulous fragrances and the large Triple Wick candles in striking seasonal colours.
