About this event
With its reputation for high standards of fresh and contemporary work, Artworks East seeks to interest and inspire in a wide range of media created by 30 of East Anglia’s leading artists.
A highlight of the East Anglian art scene, this is a great opportunity to see contemporary 2D and 3D work by 30 of East Anglia’s established and popular artists. All the exhibits are new to the Artworks each year and are for sale.
A great favourite of the exhibition is the Mini Artworks Prize Draw; thirty mini artworks created by the Artworks artists will be on display during the main exhibition and the proceeds benefit their Schools Programme and a chosen East Anglian charity.
There are also daily opportunities to meet the artists at the exhibition, who will be demonstrating how they create their work:
Saturday 21 September – Laurie Rudling and Lucy Perry
Sunday 22 September – Lyn Aylward
Monday 23 September – Eileen Revett and Judith Glover
Tuesday 24 September – Martin Coe
Wednesday 25 September – Val Armstrong
Thursday 26 September – Cathy d’Arcy
Friday 27 September – Chris Gamble and Terry Bryan
Saturday 28 September – Christine McKechnie and Val Armstrong
Sunday 29 September – Hazel Bradshaw and Sue Caddy
The setting for the exhibition is the spectacular thatched, late medieval Blackthorpe Barn, part of the Rougham Estate.

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.

Topped with silky Limoncello curd, Italian meringue, a splash of raspberry coulis and a touch of lime to keep things fresh.
Sweet, sharp and impossible to resist. Why not treat yourself?

If you’ve been to the Estate you will know we have lots of woodland with a remarkable collection of ancient and veteran oak and lime trees.
Many of these trees are hollow, with branches reaching down to the ground, showcasing their impressive age. They play a crucial role as habitats for thousands of species.
Currently, we’re conducting a survey to explore the diverse wildlife that inhabits these trees, including those near Blackthorpe Barn. We look forward to sharing the results with you this autumn! So watch this space!

Well, that didn’t take too long… we said the pumpkins could do with a drink, and overnight we had 5mm of rain! Not quite a soaking, but after such a dry stretch, we’ll take what we can get.
It’s come at just the right time to help the freshly planted pumpkins settle in. A bit more over the next week or so wouldn’t go amiss – fingers crossed the raindance keeps working (and only at night 😊).
Meanwhile, the rest of the crops on the estate will be soaking up the rain and moving along nicely now, including the Sunken Garden.
Let’s keep doing the raindance for a little bit longer!

Pumpkin season prep has officially begun!
We’ve just started planting the pumpkin seeds for our ever-popular October patch, and we’re already looking forward to seeing the field full of colour later this year to welcome families for a pumpkin extravaganza!
As much as we hate to say it, but fingers crossed for a bit of rain to help them establish.
We’ll keep you posted on their progress, but for now it’s all about patience, sunshine… and a few well-timed showers.
Roll on autumn!

It`s definitely time for a brew!
Sometimes, a cup of tea is exactly what you need. Whether you`re taking a breather, catching up with a friend, or just enjoying a moment to yourself – it has that magic way of making things feel a bit better. That`s why it`s important to celebrate it!
To celebrate International Tea Day, we’ve got a whole line-up of feel-good favourites, from bold Black Teas to calming Herbal blends and creamy Matcha Lattes.
And there’s something special for today... Our new Assistant Manager at Roots Cafe has been getting creative and come up with a Strawberry Iced Tea special. It’s made with fresh homemade strawberrry syrup and is light and fruity for a warm day.
If you fancy upgrading your tea break, pop into the Garden Room Shop – we’ve got a lovely range of mugs and cups, whether you’re into minimal style or fun prints.
