About this event
With its reputation for high standards of fresh and contemporary work, Artworks East seeks to interest and inspire in a wide range of media created by 30 of East Anglia’s leading artists.
A highlight of the East Anglian art scene, this is a great opportunity to see contemporary 2D and 3D work by 30 of East Anglia’s established and popular artists. All the exhibits are new to the Artworks each year and are for sale.
A great favourite of the exhibition is the Mini Artworks Prize Draw; thirty mini artworks created by the Artworks artists will be on display during the main exhibition and the proceeds benefit their Schools Programme and a chosen East Anglian charity.
There are also daily opportunities to meet the artists at the exhibition, who will be demonstrating how they create their work:
Saturday 21 September – Laurie Rudling and Lucy Perry
Sunday 22 September – Lyn Aylward
Monday 23 September – Eileen Revett and Judith Glover
Tuesday 24 September – Martin Coe
Wednesday 25 September – Val Armstrong
Thursday 26 September – Cathy d’Arcy
Friday 27 September – Chris Gamble and Terry Bryan
Saturday 28 September – Christine McKechnie and Val Armstrong
Sunday 29 September – Hazel Bradshaw and Sue Caddy
The setting for the exhibition is the spectacular thatched, late medieval Blackthorpe Barn, part of the Rougham Estate.

✨Blackthorpe Barn is the place to be this weekend!✨
🎄Christmas has landed and the festivities have begun
💍 Arts&Crafts Weekend 1 kicks off with a stellar range of magnificent makers selling their fabulous hand-crafted goods within the setting of the magical medieval thatched Barn. You’ll find quality gifts and treats galore at this Christmas fair.
Day tickets: £2.50 online/£3 on the door, or why not get a season ticket for £10 online to have entry to all 10 days of the whole event (£12 on the door). Open Sat & Sun 10-4
🛍️ The Christmas Shop is brim-full of more decorations than you can dream of, with lighting and gifts too. This is as close as you get to an adult Santa’s Grotto. Open daily 9.30-5 (4 on Sundays)
🌲 It’s the last weekend of PYO Christmas tree, with a very few tickets left for Sunday (bookable until 5pm on Saturday evening). Come and find your perfect Christmas tree on the plantation and we’ll cut it a day or two before you collect it.
🎄 Potted Christmas trees are already on sale in the courtyard, with cut trees available from 23rd November.
🧒🏻 The play area with the big bale pyramid and sand pits is set up in the Meadow, with plenty of benches to sit at. Space to run and let off steam, with the beautiful tree trunk sculpture to admire.
🍽️ Roots Café, the sit-down café, is open 9-5 daily (until 4pm on Sundays), with the new Roots&Co takeaway hut open in the courtyard selling tasty treats like Gravy-soaked Turkey & Stuffing in a Roll and mince pies, and mulled wine and coffees. We are joined by @tikka_tonic too, cooking up their delicious New Delhi style street food all made from scratch.
🧑🎨There are still some spaces on the wreath workshops in the coming weeks as well, where you can get crafty yourself.
✨So much Christmas Magic in one place - Rougham Estate is the place to come to make memories.
