Summer Sunflowers
In mid-summer the beautiful sunflower field opens where you can immerse yourself in a sea of vibrant gold. The sight of towering sunflowers, swaying gently in the breeze, creates a picturesque landscape.
The air is filled with the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers, and the warm sunlight adds a golden glow. There’s plenty of space for children to run and play, with coffee and food available. Entrance and parking are free.
Autumnal Pumpkins
Just in time for autumn, the huge pumpkin patch opens with thousands upon thousands of coloured pumpkins dotting the field, ready for picking. The crisp air is filled with the scent of earth and the promise of Halloween.
It is wonderful family fun to come and find the perfect pumpkins for carving or decoration. With space to play and delicious food and drink on offer, it has a fabulous festival feel. Entrance and parking are free.
Art and Craft
Throughout the year, the tranquil surroundings of Blackthorpe Barn provide the perfect backdrop for discovering unique works of art or learning new skills. From annual exhibitions and regular craft workshops to the famous Christmas Arts and Crafts Fair over five weekends, talented artisans from around the country gather here.
Whether you’re an enthusiast or a casual visitor, experiencing the creativity of arts and crafts at Rougham Estate promises inspiration, cultural enrichment and fun.
Christmas
From late October, step into the festive magic of Rougham Estate’s Christmas events, held at Blackthorpe Barn. The magical Christmas shop opens first, followed by the fun PYO Christmas Tree weekends. Throughout November and December the inspirational Rougham Art and Crafts Fair is held in the impressive thatched barn and our freshly cut Rougham Estate Christmas trees are available for weeks.
The air is filled with festive joy as the whole Barn area transforms into a winter wonderland. Bring family and friends to create lasting memories and enjoy the seasonal cheer at Rougham Estate’s Christmas celebrations.

When you visit Roots Café, you`ll find a collection of sheds, each with their own unique story and significance.
One of these is The Dove Cote.
It features a small sit-in structure with a roof covered in white doves
This charming, secluded space for four, is perfect for those who find it difficult to hear in busy, open areas, offering a cosy and private atmosphere.
On top of the shed, you will see a weathervane pointing in the direction of Rougham Hall. It`s symbolic of the World War II German Bomber that bombed a wing of Rougham Hall on 23 September 1940. Life at the Hall came to an abrupt halt, and the Hall, exposed to the elements, remains a ruin today.
The doves represent peace and freedom of the Estate which outweigh the terrors of the war.
So, you know where to come for some peace, history and fantastic food!
