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.

Evenings…in your garden
After a busy day at work, kicking back and relaxing on a balmy evening in the garden can be quite special and the perfect way to unwind.
In our award winning Rougham Estate Shop we have some items that will make it quite magical, from festoon lights, vases, serving dishes, citronella candles to blankets – if you get chilly.
All for a perfect evening with a touch of class – and a glass…of wine.
You can find a range of delightful wines in Roots Café on sale to take home. @BurntHouseVineyards

The harvest has started on Rougham Estate🎉
Do you remember the new combine that was at the South Suffolk Show earlier this year? Here it is in action, the Claas Lexion 7700 doing what it does best, and not quite so shiny and clean anymore😆
This is feed barley being harvested here and we expect to be harvesting various crops through to possibly the end of August, depending on the weather. 🤞for dry days☀️
Thanks to @beanstalkmedia.co.uk for the fabulous pics and video😃👍

When are the sunflowers opening??🌻
That’s just the question we are asking too!😁
The flowers are growing well and this sun/rain/sun weather is great for them, but they aren’t in flower yet.🙄
We’re keeping a very close eye and as soon as we know that there will be blooms for you to see, we’ll let you know the opening date. Currently we’re saying it’s “Early August”, but we can’t say more than that right now.
We can’t wait to open and to welcome you again, but for now we’re going to have to wait a little longer… 🙃
You can be sure we’ll be letting you know as soon as we know!👍😁🌻🌻
