THE FASCINATING HISTORY
The Rougham Estate traces its history back to Roman times and has seen both Saxons and Vikings and was owned by the local abbey for 600 years. During World War Two an airfield was built and Rougham Hall was bombed. It has been owned by the Agnew family since 1904.
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 20 October 2025, 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!

Meet Grace – barista at Roots Café and soon-to-be triathlon superstar! 🚴♀️🏃♀️🏊♀️
She’s taking on the Outlaw Half Holkham this July:
that’s a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile cycle, and a casual 13.1 mile run to finish (we’re out of breath just typing that).
Grace has been training hard for months and is raising money for Alzheimer’s Research UK – a cause close to many hearts. What an inspiration. 💜
If you spot her in Roots Café, wish her luck by (she isn’t always wearing her helmet at work 😂), or better yet, support her journey here:

Go Grace, we’re tri-ing not to burst with pride! 🌟

What a glorious county we live in!
On the estate we have a cracking crop of wheat with a beautiful back drop of blue sky, hedgerows buzzing and a margin full of Ox-eye daisies.
This is farming and nature working in harmony!
