Tucked beside the historic St Mary’s Church on beautiful Church Square, Plaristo of Rye invites you to step away from the busy streets and into a world of candlelight, colour, and creativity.
Our shop is filled with an exceptional collection of candles, glowing lights, home fragrances, and artistic pieces, each chosen to bring warmth and atmosphere into everyday life. At the heart of the shop, you can glimpse our working candle studio, where you can watch candles being dipped and poured by hand, colours blended, and new creations take shape before your eyes.
It’s a rare chance to see traditional candle making up close ā a craft that has barely changed in centuries. Every handmade Plaristo candle begins right here, shaped with patience, skill, and a genuine love of the craft.
Surrounded by flowers, old brick walls, and the timeless charm of Church Square, a visit to Plaristo feels like uncovering one of Rye’s hidden treasures ā calm, welcoming, and quietly magical.
Wander up to the church, step inside, and discover Plaristo for yourself.
