Christmas Decorations in Fused Glass
Get into the Christmas spirit by making your own glass decorations. Come and learn the core skills of glass fusing with Danielle Hopkinson, a glass artist with over 25 years’ experience, while making your own fabulous glass Christmas decorations you can hang in your tree or in your window to catch the light.
Danielle will teach you the skills you need to create your own unique decorations, designed by you.
What Will I do?
- You will be making decorations such as stars and trees.
- Learn how to cut the glass.
- Decorate your creations with frits, stringers and high-firing enamels.
- After your decorations have been fired off-site, you can collect your beautiful creations, designed by you.
- Please note that you won’t be taking your decorations home on the day.
Who is this workshop suitable for?
- People aged 18 and over, due to the nature of the tools used
- This course is designed for all levels of expertise
- Beginners especially welcome

Yesterday we had the pleasure of hosting a joint event with @suffolkmag and our own email subscribers.
120 lucky winners got to hear from George Agnew and have a tree-torial by the creative team behind the shop, with refreshments from Roots Cafe. Then they had an exclusive shopping trip in the Country Christmas Shop before we open officially to the public on Monday.
The atmosphere was buzzing and Christmas has definitely arrived here at Rougham Estate.
We look forward to seeing you on Monday for the official opening!
We will be doing this again next year, so if you would like to be in with a chance of winning, subscribe to our newsletter on our website!
Rougham Pumpkins are in full swing and this weekend is the first of our Pumpkins by Torchlight and Silent Disco evenings!
On Saturday 18th, the patch will be open from 9am-9pm and on Sunday from 9am-5pm.
Come and find your perfect pumpkin - this year the pumpkins are more hidden than in previous years, so you will need to do a bit of searching in the further ends of the field. Put on your wellies and bring a torch for the evening.
Apart from a huge field of pumpkins, gourds and squashes, the festival is in full swing in the picnic area:

On the 18th & 19th October you can book it out as a group or individually for an hour at a time.
The converted horsebox has been transformed into a traditional, cosy wood-fired sauna crafted for calm and comfort. Step inside, leave daily stress behind, slow down, recharge and discover why sauna culture has been loved around the world for centuries.
Move from chatting on the bench to a heart‑racing cold shower or plunge, then bask in the warm, glowing afterfeel.
It’s an opportunity to embrace simplicity and reconnect with the timeless ritual of heat and cool amid beautiful natural surroundings of Rougham Estate.
