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!

If you haven`t got your Christmas Tree or wreath, there`s still plenty available here at Rougham Estate.
We have Nordmann Fir, Norway Spruce, Fraser Fir and Albertiana Conica trees available.
Nordmann Fir trees are great for needle retention – ideal for those who want to have their trees up as long as possible.
The Norway Spruce which has a fantastic festive scent but need a little bit of extra care as they drop their needles more than the Nordmann Fir.
We also have potted trees in the Norway Spruce, Nordmann Fir and Albertiana Conica for those looking to use their tree year on year.
Sizes range from 3 foot to 25 foot tall!
All grown on the Estate, the carbon footprint is practically zero!
Come and choose your tree at Blackthorpe Barn where you can both see and smell how fresh they are.
