THE ESTATE
Nestled in Suffolk, the Estate’s enduring appeal is created by blending history, nature and sustainable practices with family-friendly events.
A Suffolk Country Estate
Rougham Estate, located a few miles from Bury St Edmunds, is a rural haven epitomising the timeless charm and natural beauty of East Anglia.
It boasts a rich history dating back through the ages to Roman times. The Estate’s centrepiece, Rougham Hall, although ruined, stands as a testament to its heritage, with the Blackthorpe Barn and the WWII airfield control tower adding unique historical interest.
Besides the fascinating history, the Estate takes its rural responsibilities seriously, ensuring a harmonious balance in its natural surroundings complemented by sustainable forestry and wildlife management. The working farm contributes to the agricultural legacy, while dedicated conservation efforts underscore the commitment to preserving the Estate’s ecological diversity.
Our Awards
ROUGHAM ESTATE TRUST
The Rougham Estate Trust was established by George Agnew and his late brother John, to safeguard the Estate into the future. Committed to maintaining the Estate’s environment and landscape for the benefit of the public, the Trust also supports cultural and educational initiatives by inspiring young local musicians and preserving the history of the area.

Everyone has their own idea of the perfect Christmas tree. So why don`t you choose your own?
Here at Rougham Estate, on the 9 & 10th, 16th & 17th November, you can wander through hundreds of trees of different shapes and sizes, in our plantation, until you find “the One”. We’ll cut your special tree, perfectly fresh, just a day or two before your selected collection date.
Choose from 3 collection weekends to collect your tree, where it will be at Blackthorpe Barn ready, wrapped and waiting for you at a time that suits you.
It’s a wonderful experience for everyone; very exciting for children, and your dog (on a lead) is welcome to come with you too.
Spaces are booking fast so to avoid disappointment, visit our website to book your slot: roughamestate.com/welcome
