About Us

From small acorns…


Candle & Blue is a small family business; there is the lifestyle boutique on St John’s Street, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk as well as an ever expanding mail order website run from the same premises.

Candle and Blue opened in Bury St Edmunds early in 2006, their first step into retail. They moved to their current, more spacious location in November 2006. Their beautiful Grade 11 listed building is situated in the lovely Victorian shopping street St John’s St. The street has many unusual, individual independent shops to delight the discerning shopper. It is a lovely window shopping stroll into the heart of Bury. So, if you have the time, step away from the beaten track, and wonder down St John’s Street and you’ll discover Bury’s hidden gems.

The bus station, and the Elizabethan style railway station are all within walking distance. The newly opened arc-Bury St Edmunds, is only moments away.

We like to be individual, and with an eye for the unusual, and only stock items that stand out as being something different. Candle & Blue offers you a collection of beautiful gifts for others, and luxurious treats for yourself.

 Buy online or visit the shop to experience our full range. The choice is yours.

Add your email address on the contact page, and we will keep you up to date with information about new stock, offers and incentives. We are totally committed to your privacy, and don’t pass on your details to third parties.

I am responsible for marketing and PR, and sourcing of products. Geraldine has taken over for website and imagery. Verity does a fantastic job with our window dressing and merchandising in the shop. Thankfully, Verity now turns a blind eye to our poor attempts at arranging products when she is isn’t there. Terri, Emily-Rose and Megan all work part-time. 

If you would like to use us, or our products in editorial, Geraldine or myself would be delighted to hear from you. Email info@candleandblue.co.uk or call us on 01284 765522.

We are always looking for new products and ranges. If you would like to bring them to our attention, you can get in touch via the contact page.
