WHAT’S ON AT ROUGHAM ESTATE
CHRISTMAS AT BLACKTHORPE BARN
As the nights draw in and the temperatures start dropping, Christmas really comes alive on Rougham Estate again, at Blackthorpe Barn.
The renowned Christmas Shop opens its doors on 21 October, with new magic and a whole world full of glorious decorations for you to select from.
In early November you can come to the Christmas Tree plantation and select the very tree you’d like to adorn your home and from the end of November our famous Rougham Estate Christmas Trees go on sale.
For 5 weekends in November and December the well-respected Arts & Crafts Fair is held in the magnificent medieval Blackthorpe Barn itself, with both new and familiar makers joining us on different weekends; this is the place to come to find quality gifts.
With handmade wreaths and Christmas craft workshops coming soon – you don’t want to miss Christmas at Blackthorpe Barn this autumn!

Unique quality is what you find at Arts&Crafts at Blackthorpe Barn. For five weekends from mid-November, you’ll be amazed by the huge range of talented craftspeople who gather at Rougham Estate to show and sell their handmade creations.
At the same time as the Christmas Craft Fair, on the first weekend, you can double the excitement and come and pick your own Christmas tree on the plantation here. And every day the Craft Fair is open, the Christmas shop is open just next door, with a tantalising range of festive decorations and Roots Café too, all under the same roof. Make a day of it here at Blackthorpe Barn!
Shown here are @tuliphousenorfolk @birdfeedertree @artistcaz @hannahdowdingfurniture @mattbrownmakes who each make stunning pieces, from soft furnishings, wooden furniture, metalwork for the garden to recycled robots and the most mesmerising of artworks from natural materials. Come and enjoy!

Ever wondered who’s behind the vision in the Christmas Country Shop and how the display ideas were born to make it magical?
You can’t miss the winter woodland which has used two fallen trees from the estate to create the most wonderful magical setting.

And that’s a wrap for Rougham Pumpkins 2024! 🎃✨🎃
🎃For those who are out trick-or-treating this evening – we wish you lots of fun🎃
It’s been a fabulous pumpkin season – a huge thank you to everyone who has visited the patch.
Thank you for all the very kind comments and for all the brilliant pictures you send of your visit and of the stunning decorations and creative carving you do. Wow! We love to see them all!
Thanks to the whole team who have worked so hard to put the event together and to keep it running. We couldn’t do it without you! You are amazing!
And thank you to our partners who provide the food, drinks, face painting and evening events. Without you, it wouldn’t be the same at all: @wrights_2018 @chestnut_events @faceitfacepainting @whatthe_peck @badboiburritos @pimpmyfishuk @kiernanscoffee @tikka_tonic @thesuffolksmokeco
We are very sad, though, for those who lost business due to the wilful vandalism that happened near the end – may heavy pumpkins rain upon their parade 😠
Now though, it is time to let @stillgoodf come and glean some pumpkins for their marvellous pumpkin dinner, and then welcome the flock of sheep back to the field to finish off what is left and to fertilise the field for next year.
Thank you again for a brilliant season – see you at Blackthorpe Barn for the Christmas festivities! The magical Christmas shop is already open, PYO trees is happening the weekend after next, the Arts and Crafts Fair welcoming talented makers from around the country and our very own Rougham Estate Christmas trees being sold, ready for Christmas, not forgetting Roots Café serving home cooked food.
