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.

If you haven’t already purchased your tree, why not consider a potted one?
Potted trees offer many benefits, including sustainability and flexibility as an alternative to cut trees.
They can be enjoyed both indoors and outdoors, and with proper care, they can be reused year after year, either repotted or planted in your garden.
We have a variety of sizes and species to choose from.
Visit Rougham Estate today to find the perfect Christmas tree, whether it’s potted or freshly cut!
