Outdoor Events Year Round
Enjoy the beautiful Suffolk countryside at all times of year, from walks in the countryside to sunflowers and pumpkins and finding your Christmas tree on our plantation.
Rougham Estate spans over 3000 acres of glorious Suffolk countryside and the varied scenery here provides the backdrop for a programme of outdoor events that runs throughout the year, from the first signs of spring right through to the winter months.
Over the course of the changing seasons visitors can enjoy the festival atmosphere of the famous sunflower and pumpkin field, join guided walks through the woodland, parkland or to Rougham Hall, come and search through one of our plantations for their perfect Christmas tree, or simply come and enjoy the space at their own pace. There is always something happening and the Estate’s natural beauty means that even a quiet wander feels like a mini holiday.
Whatever brings you to Rougham Estate, you can enjoy the beautiful surroundings in a way that is increasingly hard to find.
Listed here are the current events planned to take place under the big Suffolk skies. We are always adding more events as the seasons pass. Please take note of the different locations for each outdoor event, listed on each event page.
