When was the last time you gave yourself a full day to simply pause?
Our first Reset Retreat at Rougham Estate brought together a wonderful group for a full day of movement, warmth and restoration here in Suffolk.
Set in our beautiful surroundings near Bury St Edmunds, our guests joined us for a full day wellbeing retreat including:
Mindful woodland walks
Restorative yoga
Wood-fired sauna & cold water plunging
Soothing sound bath
Nourishing seasonal lunch
And the feedback has completely filled our gratitude bucket:
“Every detail was so well organised and welcoming.”
“We had the very best of days.”
“The mix and flow of activities moved seamlessly.”
“Pure joy.”
“The date balls were epic!”
Seeing friendships form and guests already planning their return was exactly why we created Reset as a space to pause, breathe and reconnect.
Our next Reset Retreat takes place on Friday 20th & Saturday 21st March.
If you’re looking for a wellbeing retreat in Suffolk this spring, we would love to welcome you.

Most of us are pleased to see the back of February. It signals the start of lighter days, warmer weather and that exciting hint of spring just around the corner. There’s a sense of energy returning to the Estate, from the first signs of green shoots in the gardens to the longer evenings that make a stroll through the grounds feel even more inviting.
That said, the Estate is beautiful whatever month it is. Even in the cooler months there’s a quiet charm with frost on the meadows, bare trees creating dramatic silhouettes and the soft winter light casting a magical glow over the space.
We love sharing these moments with you, whether it’s a peaceful walk, a visit to the Café, or just soaking in the views. Here’s some proof of the Estate in all its February glory, reminding us that every season has its own beauty.

We are thrilled to share that Rougham Estate has been named a finalist in the East Anglia Clean & Green Awards 2026 in the Sustainability Strategy category.
These awards celebrate businesses and organisations across East Anglia that are making a real impact on sustainability and environmental practice.
Being shortlisted is a reflection of the work we’ve been doing to look after our woodlands, encourage biodiversity and manage the Estate with long-term environmental care at heart.
It’s an honour to be recognised alongside other organisations committed to a greener future and all the finalists will be celebrated at the awards event on 26 March in Ipswich.
Thank you to everyone who supports what we do. Fingers crossed for the winners announcement and we’ll share more after the event.

Are you an established artisan creating your own original pieces, not bought-in, not mass-produced? Then this invitation is for you!
We are seeking inspirational designer-makers with a deep respect for materials, process and craftsmanship, ready to exhibit within the beautiful setting of the Blackthorpe Barn at the Rougham Estate Arts & Crafts event this coming Christmas.
Our visitors come specifically to discover and buy beautifully-made work. They value authenticity, they appreciate the story behind each piece and they return year after year to meet the makers themselves.
If you are proud of what you create and ready to join an exceptional community of craftspeople, applications for 2026 are now open.

We are already weeks into the rethatch and as you can see, the transformation into a golden barn is coming on nicely.
Plenty happened during week 3, with the @eadt24 press visiting to write a story about the rethatch.
Also, while inspecting the structure we sadly found some rot in the roof battens (on a small patch of the roof), which are the wooden strips that support the thatch. These are now being replaced to ensure the barn remains sturdy for years to come, though it will delay the project slightly.
In answer to some of the questions you have asked, the old thatch will go to compost and be reused on the Estate, most likely on the farm.
Regarding whether we will have a straw animal finial on the top, the current answer is no. As much as we love finial animals, the Estate feels this is not in keeping with the history and function of the barn.

Why not join us at Rougham Estate for a Willow Weaving Workshop to make a giant flower?
With 2 workshops on 7th March, you can join @the__coddiwomplers for a hands-on creative workshop in our beautiful Meadow Room.
Guided by two experienced basket makers, you’ll learn traditional willow weaving skills and techniques while making an attractive piece for your home or garden.
The workshop focuses on weaving a willow flower using traditional basketry methods often employed when forming a basket base, making it an ideal introduction for anyone interested in basket weaving.
By the end of the session you’ll take home your large willow flower suitable for hanging on a wall or mounting on a stem for outdoor display.
The course is suitable for beginners and requires no prior experience.
The link is in the bio to book.
