The former toy factory on Tower Street is a key part of our history, at one time housing our whole operation: warehouse, studio and shop. Today, the shop is a treasure trove of beautiful cloth, inspiring even non-sewers to pick up a pattern and have a go. Our sewing studio upstairs is where we host classes and creative retreats. We have hundreds of pattern samples made up for our customers to try on and our team is always on hand to offer sewing and styling advice (or just to have a friendly natter!). If you are visiting for a specific product or fabric do call before hand so we can check stock for you. Visit wearing your finest and favourite Merchant & Mills makes and have your photo taken in our in-store Social Club photobooth. Learn more about The Social Club below. Rye is a perfectly quaint English town with an abundance of character, history and shopping temptations. We are happy to recommend places to stay and visit.

Trains from London St Pancras Int leave every hour, you will need to change at Ashford International, getting you to Rye in 1 hour and 20 minutes. We are a 5 minute walk from the train station. When walking out of the station walk straight ahead until you reach Cinque Port Street, turn left, cross Rope Walk and we are on the corner.

Rye is on the A259. There are several pay and display car parks in Rye, and a couple of spaces outside the shop too.
