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.

Tree Management Update 🌲
Under the instructions of the Forestry Commission, tree management will be taking place at Rougham Estate in the upcoming weeks.
This is necessary to control the spread of the invasive Spruce Bark Beetle, which has come over from Asia and poses a threat to our forests. Norway Spruce trees over 3 metres tall will be felled as they are particularly vulnerable to the beetle. The beetle tunnels into the bark of living trees to lay its eggs. The larvae then feed and develop, forming tunnels that weaken, and in most cases kill, the host tree.
The good news is that healthy trees like oak, sycamore, birch, and yew are not affected and will be left to flourish without the extra competition. We will also be planting more broadleaf trees to enhance the woodland`s health and diversity.
Rest assured though, our Christmas tree offerings will not be impacted. Most of our Norway Spruce Christmas trees are safe, and our Nordman Firs are not affected by the beetle.
This work has been timed to minimise disruption to wildlife, such as the nesting season.
Thank you for your understanding as we work to protect our local environment. 🌳

We are continuing to experience issues with our gas supply and therefore we are still unable to offer hot food.
We have a reduced menu to offer cold food and also have a wide range of cakes and savoury snacks.
Thank you for bearing with us and we apologise once again for this.
Fingers crossed that we are back to normal very soon!
