Weekend 4 of Arts & Crafts at Blackthorpe Barn
Visiting the Arts and Crafts at Blackthorpe Barn is a charming experience, blending history and creativity in a beautiful rural setting. The 16th-century barn, nestled in the Suffolk countryside, provides a perfect backdrop for showcasing the work of talented artisans.
Visitors can explore stalls filled with unique handmade items, meeting the makers who crafted each piece, from ceramics and textiles to jewellery and home décor.
The warm, rustic atmosphere makes it a delightful spot to find one-of-a-kind gifts, meet craftspeople from around the country, and enjoy the festive ambiance.

Blackthorpe Barn is situated just south of Junction 45 of the A14, three miles east of Bury St Edmunds, in the village of Rougham.
Look out for the entrance gates to a long tree-lined avenue at the White House junction, with the Barn on the right of the avenue.
Blackthorpe Barn’s black and white signs direct visitors from local roads.
FAQs
The Arts and Crafts Fair attracts a wide range of very talented artisans, some of whom are local to the area and others travel considerable distances to join us.
Find out which makers are joining us on each weekend by seeing the Arts and Crafts Fair page.
You can sort the makers by week and by craft.
Only assistance dogs are allowed in the Arts and Crafts Fair.
Yes, there is a different mix of makers at the Barn every weekend.
A very few makers stay with us all 5 weekends, but most makers are at the Barn for one or two weekends, with new makers joining every weekend. This means there is always something new to see each weekend.
See the Arts and Crafts Fair page for more information about which maker is with us on which weekend. You can sort the grid of makers by week and by craft.
Yes, we accept both cards and cash for the Arts and Crafts Fair.
Or you can buy a ticket for a reduced price online.
Children 16 and under are admitted for free.
Most of the makers prefer to take cards, but it is up to each maker how they wish to take payment.
Makers sell their creations from individual stalls directly to visitors, using the days between the weekends to replenish their stock.
The cost of the maintenance of an ancient barn such as this one is considerable, as is running an event like the Arts and Crafts Fair.
In order to support the makers and artisans we distribute these costs over both the stall-holders and visitors, thereby keeping the stall-holder fees down.
We charge a small entry fee for every visitor over 16, pricing our tickets very modestly compared to most other craft shows of this calibre.
The £2.50 (online) or £3 on-the-door day-ticket price is less than, for example, standard online postage costs, dropping to £1 per day for an online season ticket. That’s significantly less than a cup of coffee!
Our prices have remained the same over the past years despite the costs rising. By contributing the small entrance cost, you are supporting both Suffolk heritage and the talented craft-makers.
Thank you!
There is a wide range of arts and crafts for sale at the fair, from jewellery and ceramics to leather-, glass-, metal- and woodwork, food and drink, art and much more.
Each maker is specifically selected to ensure quality and variety.
You can see more about the makers on the Arts and Craft Fair page.
The season ticket is a great option if you are a fan of quality, handcrafted items.
For £10 (online) or £12 on-the-door, the season ticket gives you access to all 5 weekends (10 days) of the Arts and Crafts Fair. (This price is less than a single day ticket for many equivalent craft fairs in the region.)
A day ticket for the Arts and Crafts Fair gives you entry to that one day of the Craft Fair, where around 50 makers have gathered.
You can buy the ticket online for £2.50 or for £3 on-the-door.
Yes, the different parts of the Barn has heating; Roots Café and the toilets have underfloor heating, the shop and the long barn have gas heating and the thatched barn has radiant electric heaters.
Many of the makers do take commissions, but this is up to each individual maker.

In and amongst all the activities that have been going on with Pumpkins and Christmas, it hasn’t stopped the farming on the Estate.
We’ve recently been harvesting the sugar beet and if you look closely, you can see the steam coming from the sugar beet factory in background. That’s how close our footprint is!

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
