CANDLE CRAFTER

We create a range of handmade candles, wax melts, diffusers and gift sets. In my opinion, I believe the business is special because I have created a beautiful collection of lovingly made fragrance products. These are in addition to a range of unique gift sets that are perfect for all occasions.

Artisan Woodworker

I make unique jewellery boxes, wooden toys, chopping boards and bud vases. My hand-turned items such as bowls, vases, Christmas trees and snowmen are also popular. Using quality hardwoods, which are sourced from FSC-certified suppliers, I treat my products with a food and toy-safe finish.

My studio proudly produces handmade polymer clay jewellery — including earrings, bracelets and necklaces. Our joyful jewellery is designed to spark conversations and help quieter souls feel more confident. Our pieces are inspired by floral designs, symbolising the idea of blooming into confidence.

Educational books

I sell award-winning educational books. Every book is hand-made in my own factory, by our specially-trained female staff. Now, and in the future, we aim to build schools and sponsor children who lack such opportunities. Currently, we’re focused on girls schools in certain rural parts of India.

Our heritage

A family tradition of bringing people together since 1988.

Kevin Townson founded Heritage Promotions in 1988, building a reputation for welcoming artisan craft and gift fairs across Yorkshire. His son, Aaron Townson — who has helped at events alongside his father since the age of four — took over management of the business in 2024, carrying the family tradition into a new chapter at Spurriergate.
