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!

🎃With pumpkins and gourds from tiny to huge, in a vast array of colours and the funkiest of shapes, your perfect pumpkin is waiting for you here. 
🎃Open October weekends 9-5 and then daily 26-31, there are thousands of pumpkins to choose from. 
🎃This year, come to the Patch at dusk for Pumpkins by Torchlight on Saturdays 12th and 26th 5.30pm-9.30pm, with twinkly lights, fire pits, food and a shhh! silent disco. Reserve your headsets online (£5/adult, children free) - 26th is already sold out. But don’t worry - there’ll be a waiting list on the night to take over returned headsets. 
🐶Well-behaved dogs on a short lead are welcome in the picnic area and in the new little Doggy Pumpkin Patch. Due to having had too much mess to clear up in previous years, dogs are not allowed in the main pumpkin patch. 
🎃Free to enter, no booking required, plenty of space for children to run and play, a range of food and drink on offer or bring your own picnic, face painting, ice cream, loads of photo opportunities…. come and take it easy and enjoy the great outdoors at this gorgeous time of year!
