The summer car park is back in action!
For those who know where the Christmas Tree car park is, that’s where you go now to get to Roots Café and the Garden Room Shop.
If you haven’t yet had the pleasure of getting a Rougham Estate Christmas tree (you’ve missed out there!😁), there are signs along the avenue to guide you to the summer entrance, through the archway.
The car parks around the thatched barn are reserved for weddings and private events during the summer months - please don’t go beyond the cones.
There is accessible parking and a drop-off area closer to the archway and the overflow car parks are still available.
To see the summer ground-plan of the Blackthorpe Barn area click on the link in our profile.
We look forward to seeing you here - Rougham Estate is gorgeous in the sunshine, with iced drinks from the café, all the accessories you can dream of from cushions to bbqs at the Garden Room Shop, and walks through the woods - it’s the perfect place for some R&R.

Rougham Estate is full of spring energy right now – it’s a feast for the senses. The rhododendrons are putting on a real show in bold pinks and purples, and the hawthorn is in full bloom with soft white blossoms brushing the hedgerows.
You’ll catch the sweet scent of wildflowers as you wander, with birdsong overhead and bees darting between blooms. The open spaces and woodlands are alive with colour, sound and movement – it’s the perfect time to visit if you’re craving a bit of calm and connection with nature.
Take a slow walk or sit in our Sunken Garden or in the Courtyard where you can soak it all up. Spring doesn’t get much better than this.
