We are honoured to have been invited to an exclusive Spring Showcase at No 10 Downing Street yesterday, alongside nine other brilliant British businesses. We presented our range of sustainably produced, nature inspired, products to Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, alongside Cabinet Ministers and a host of VIP guests at this vibrant spring event. 

Cornish, sustainable candle manufacturer, St. Eval, have been invited to No. 10 Downing Street for a Spring Showcase highlighting the very best of British business. As one of only ten businesses invited from all four corners of the UK, St. Eval are proudly showcasing their range of sustainably produced, nature inspired products.

Here at St. Eval, we scent our beautiful candles with a range of over thirty fragrances inspired by nature. This week’s Fragrance Friday takes you behind the fragrance of our Bluebell Wood scent, exploring the mystical background of this beautiful flower.

The British Isles have a rich and vibrant folk culture full of captivating customs and traditions that have been celebrated for centuries. An ancient festival celebrated for generations, May Day is an important date in our calendar, marking the start of summer and sparking celebrations across the country.

At St. Eval, we’re inspired by the beauty of the natural world and we feel keenly the responsibility that falls on us, both as individuals and as a company, to Invest in Our Planet and make choices that preserve and protect it for future generations. Earth Day asks us to ‘practice a simple act of green everyday’ and incorporate sustainable practices into our everyday lives in order to make a real difference. We’ve put together this blog, inspired by Earth Day’s important work, recommending some of the simple acts of green that we can all incorporate into our everyday lives.

Easter is just around the corner, signalling the arrival of spring and giving us the perfect opportunity to spend some quality time with those we love. As we get together for family dinners and days spent in the sun it’s a wonderful time to show your appreciation with a heartfelt gift, celebrating the holiday or thanking the host. From gifting ideas to décor inspiration, we’ve put together some easy ways to delight your loved ones this Easter.

On Saturday 26th March at 8:30pm we took part in WWF's annual Earth Hour, switching off our lights along with millions of people across the globe in a moment of solidarity to support people and planet. Earth Hour is an amazing initiative raising awareness for climate change, and following on from this years' switch off we're taking its inspiring message of climate consciousness further and finding more small changes that can help us live more sustainably.

Here at St. Eval, reduce, reuse, renew and recycle is our company-wide policy and culture. Being based on a working farm, we are acutely aware of just how important the environment is and how vital it is that we look after it.
