A personal favourite thing about Whitby is the number of independent retailers and small businesses. The town is full of treasures and trinkets that perfectly match the whimsical and quirky essence that many of us love when visiting Whitby.
For something a little different, dare we say a little magical, we can’t resist a stop at The Whitby Witch. This small, independent shop is packed with locally handcrafted treasures, inspired by Whitby folklore. One of those places where every shelf feels like a new adventure, and you never quite know what you’ll discover.
Why we love The Whitby Witch
Love all things Wiccan and like to burn a wick? You’ll love The Whitby Witch. This little shop offers a stunning range of micro-batch, hand-poured candles, each one crafted locally by the sea. Their candles are a highlight, beautifully made and perfect for adding a touch of witchy atmosphere at home. But the best part? Candles are just the beginning…
The shop is brimming with mystical finds, from leather-bound Books of Shadows ready to hold your secrets, to tarot card gift sets for the fortune-teller in your life.
Aside from home fragrance, you’ll also find other magical bits and pieces, spell-casting paraphernalia and items, such as cast-iron cauldrons, that are equal parts practical and playful, and can double as incense burners, kitchenware, or simply a striking piece of décor.
There’s always something new to tempt you, whether it’s the perfect gift for a friend or a little witchy treat for yourself.
