We sell Affordable, Quality and Unique, Natural & Pure Incense, Alcohol-free Oils and plant Wax products, plus a beautifully scented range of Alcohol-free Roll-on Perfumes, all made by Eco-Friendly brands which are not generally found on the High St. We also sell Complementary Accessories, Jewellery and Gifts, as well as offering our extensive knowledge about all the products and little known brands together with helpful advice regarding their benefits, uses for several ‘Mind, Body and Spirit’ treatments and other well-being therapies.
We consider our products to be so Special, Diverse and a Key Essential Element to promote Well-being for Mind, Body and Soul. We want to get this message to more people and prove that there is more to Incense than the Horrible Fragrances, Toxic, Health Affecting and Black Smokey products which have been sold years ago and, unfortunately, can still be found being sold.
Our products may not be “made by our hands” – but our Incense brands are Hand Rolled not Machine-Made like, so other familiar Incense Brands. We do offer Our Unique “Pick n mix” range of Incense which do use Natural Ingredients, but are not Hand Rolled, we consider this range to be a starting point for people who have yet to experience our other Unique Incense Brands, this range is ONLY SOLD AT OUR EVENTS so come and take a look.
We sell Wax Tealights, a selection of over 10 different items made by “Prices Candles”, Organic Cup Cake Wax Melts (if the weather is not too HOT – because they melt - too easy). Our best seller after Incense, is Alcohol-Free Roll-on Perfume Oils, you need to smell them to believe their scent!!! The Aroma Oils, we offer, are produced by one of our Incense brand, Goloka, these Oils are made to the same Recipe and Standards as their Incense, making them ‘Incense in a bottle’. Together with all the products, we also sell Accessories, Jewellery and Gift items which have all been Carefully and Ethically sourced from Reliable and Reputable suppliers the UK and Abroad.
We are proud to say we ‘know’ ALL our Incense brands personally, having met them during our month long business trip around India and gained valuable hands on knowledge making the whole experience very productive so when we say we know something – we have learnt and seen so much directly from the Industry Specialists.
Come and visit us at this great event, you will find us at the Green Gazebo just follow your nose !!!
Visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Avro Vulcan XM603 from above over a cup of tea or coffee. The café serves a selection of freshly prepared sandwiches and light snacks including tea cakes and soup.
As a Charity, the Avro Heritage Museum relies on the generosity of its supporters, so it is entirely self-funded, relying on Admission Fees as its main source of income and is staffed by passionate volunteers, many of whom worked at Chadderton and Woodford. So, they really appreciate whatever donation you can make, no matter how small.
