Blend, bottle and take home your very own signature fragrance on the Isle of Man.

Step away from the everyday and spend a few fragrant, mindful hours in the welcoming studio of one of the Island’s talented local perfume makers. Perfect for visitors seeking a unique Isle of Man activity and for locals looking for a creative day out, this hands-on perfume-making workshop is a truly sensory experience.

Guided by a friendly expert host, you’ll learn the art of fragrance composition — how to balance top, heart and base notes — while exploring a palette of beautiful scents inspired by the natural world. From zesty citrus bursts and delicate Manx florals to warm spices and earthy woods, you’ll discover combinations that reflect your personality and mood.

Once you’ve chosen your favourite blend, you’ll mix and bottle your own signature perfume spray to take home:

Beautiful 30 ml Perfume – £55
Marvellous 100 ml Perfume – £85

The session is relaxed and sociable, with complimentary refreshments served throughout, making it ideal for couples, friends, families, or solo guests. It’s the perfect rainy-day activity, a memorable holiday souvenir, or a thoughtful handmade gift to share with someone special.

When your bottle eventually runs low, there’s no need to say goodbye to your new favourite scent — simply contact the studio to re-order a remake of your custom fragrance and continue to enjoy it at home.

Indulge in the ultimate Belgian chocolate experience on the Isle of Man.

Step into the warm, cocoa-scented studio of a skilled local chocolatier and discover the techniques that give fine Belgian chocolate its world-famous flavour and shine. Perfect for visitors seeking a memorable island activity and locals looking for a creative, hands-on treat, this 2.5-hour Belgian Chocolatier Workshop is as educational as it is delicious.

Your experience begins with a fascinating introduction to the history of chocolate – from the ancient cocoa traditions of the Mayans and Aztecs to today’s premium Belgian couverture. Under expert guidance, you’ll learn to temper chocolate like a professional to achieve that flawless, glossy finish and the perfect, crisp snap.

Next, unleash your creativity as you craft and decorate your own exquisite Belgian chocolates, choosing from a variety of gourmet fillings and toppings to personalise every piece. Between steps, indulge in a cup of the host’s signature velvety Belgian hot chocolate – rich, smooth, and freshly made – along with a tempting selection of sweet nibbles to keep you fuelled.

Finally, you’ll box up your handmade creations in a beautifully packaged collection to take home, ready to gift to loved ones (or enjoy yourself!).

Relaxed and sociable, this indulgent workshop is ideal for couples, families, friends, or solo guests wanting to savour the flavours of Belgium while visiting the Isle of Man.

Step inside the welcoming studio of one of the Island’s favourite candle makers and swap the rush of everyday life for a couple of peaceful, fragrant hours.

Guided by a friendly local host, you’ll explore a palette of scents – from breezy coastal notes and soft florals to cosy woods and spices – before blending your own signature fragrance.

With expert tips, you’ll hand-pour a smooth soy-wax candle with a crackling wooden wick, learning the secrets to a clean, even burn. Choose the Warm Single-Wick (£49) for a classic candle or the Grand Three-Wick (£69) for an impressive centre-piece.

The relaxed, sociable setting with complimentary refreshments makes this experience ideal for visitors discovering the Isle of Man as well as locals looking for a mindful creative activity. When your candle eventually burns out, the studio can remake your custom scent so you can enjoy it again and again.
