Important information
Mobility Scooters:
We understand and respect the challenges faced by those with mobility needs and we strive to make our shop as welcoming and accessible as possible. However, due to the nature of the shop being housed in a historic farm building, navigating with mobility scooters can be particularly difficult, especially during the weekends when it can get very busy.
To ensure the safety of all our customers, it might be easier to visit on quieter days during the week where we can better assist you with access, or use an alternative mobility aid, different from a mobility scooter, if possible.

What can I find in the shop?
Advent calendars, angels, baubles, candle rings, candles, crackers, cuddly toys, foliage, garlands, gift tags, gingerbread decorations, lanterns, LED lights, lighting, napkins, ornaments, present sacks, ribbons, snow globes, stockings, sweets, tea-light holders, tree toppers, wrapping paper, wreaths … and much, much more!
Handmade Wreaths
From the end of November, handmade wreaths are available to buy from the shop. These often sell as soon as they are made; they are not something that is kept “in stock”.
If you would like to make your own Christmas wreath, each Christmas we offer wreath workshops – click here to find out more.

Weekends closer to Christmas
The shop can get very busy at the weekends, especially at the end of November and through into December.
We ask for your patience at these times and a queue for entry will be created when the shop reaches its maximum capacity. As soon as there is space, you will be allowed in.
Sometimes there are breakages, which means that there can be shards on the floor, so please carry any dogs with you.

Spring has finally arrived at Rougham Estate, and our farm team is hard at work planting this season`s sugar beet.
Unlike our cereals and oilseed rape, sugar beet is planted using a highly mechanised precision drill. This advanced equipment spaces the seeds 16 cm apart within each row, with the rows set exactly 50 cm apart. To achieve this level of precision, the seeds are coated in clay, ensuring they are perfectly round and uniform.
The sugar beet will be harvested between October and January and delivered to the Bury St Edmunds factory to be transformed into Silver Spoon Sugar. Interestingly, this field is just 2 miles away from the factory, providing a lovely backdrop for our work!
