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.

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.

Last week, we hosted a growers meeting for Ryvita in our new Meadow Room.
Farmers attended from all over East Anglia who grow rye, the main raw ingredient for Ryvita Crispbreads.
The Rougham Estate farm has a longstanding relationship with Ryvita having grown Rye on contract for them for over 35 years – and hopefully many more to come.
And did you know, this year we aim to produce enough Rye to produce a whopping 85.5 million Crispbreads for the supermarket shelves!

In farming news…
We have been busy planting 100 new oak trees on a newly acquired block of land.
With the picturesque landscape of fields, hedgerows, woodland, and mature oaks surrounding us, we are dedicated to enhancing this natural space and creating important wildlife corridors across the Estate.
This planting is particularly significant as it represents the first step in restoring a lost green lane to its former state. Next year, we hope to fill the spaces between the young oaks with a native hedge. This addition will provide a crucial winter food source, nesting habitat, and a passage for local wildlife.
We believe that these efforts will not only improve the beauty of Rougham Estate but also contribute positively to the local ecosystem. Thank you for supporting us in this important work of restoration and preservation.
And enjoy taking in the sights on your walks around the Estate grounds!
