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!
