Children's Easter Trail
This Easter why not bring the family to Rougham Estate for a day out.
There’s a family Easter Trail, starting and finishing at Blackthorpe Barn, that includes a lovely walk through the woods here, including a little reward for all completed questionnaires.
Perfect for the little people in your life.
At the same time, Roots Café is open daily 9.30-16:00 and the Garden Room shop is open Tuesday – Sunday.
If it’s been raining, bring some wellies, and bring a pen to write down your answers.
We’re looking forward to welcoming you!

There is plenty of free parking available.
Accessible parking is available near the entrance to the Café/Shop area.
Please Note: The car park closes when the Roots Café closes and the entrance gates are locked after this time.
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.

Last week we formally opened The Meadow Room as a business venue perfect for training, workshops, strategy days, team building days and more. Some local business owners attended the open event to find out more.
It makes a perfect spot for escaping the hustle and bustle of the corporate world in the tranquil setting of the Suffolk countryside.
Catering can be provided by Roots cafe as part of the offering. It can currently seat up to 16 long table, 30 in theatre style and 40/50 for stand up networking.
Set on the estate there are many walks and outdoor space available for team building or walks available during hire.
So if you are looking for a small and quiet space away from the office - for whatever reason, the room is available for hire. More can be found on our website - link in comments.
