Events
Throughout the year there are many different events happening at Rougham Estate; join us for seasonal fun.
Events throughout the year
There are currently no events to show. We’re working on adding some soon.
Summer Sunflowers
In mid-summer the beautiful sunflower field opens where you can immerse yourself in a sea of vibrant gold. The sight of towering sunflowers, swaying gently in the breeze, creates a picturesque landscape.
The air is filled with the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers, and the warm sunlight adds a golden glow. There’s plenty of space for children to run and play, with coffee and food available. Entrance and parking are free.
Autumnal Pumpkins
Just in time for autumn, the huge pumpkin patch opens with thousands upon thousands of coloured pumpkins dotting the field, ready for picking. The crisp air is filled with the scent of earth and the promise of Halloween.
It is wonderful family fun to come and find the perfect pumpkins for carving or decoration. With space to play and delicious food and drink on offer, it has a fabulous festival feeling. Entrance and parking are free.
Art and Craft
Throughout the year, the tranquil surroundings of Blackthorpe Barn provide the perfect backdrop for discovering unique works of art or learning new skills. From annual exhibitions and regular craft workshops to the famous Christmas Arts and Crafts Fair over five weekends, talented artisans from around the country gather here.
Whether you’re an enthusiast or a casual visitor, experiencing the creativity of arts and crafts at Rougham Estate promises inspiration, cultural enrichment and fun.
Christmas
From late October, step into the festive magic of Rougham Estate’s Christmas events, held at Blackthorpe Barn. The magical Christmas shop opens first, followed by the fun PYO Christmas Tree weekends. Throughout November and December the inspirational Rougham Art and Crafts Fair is held in the impressive thatched barn and our freshly cut Rougham Estate Christmas trees are available for weeks.
The air is filled with festive joy as the whole Barn area transforms into a winter wonderland. Bring family and friends to create lasting memories and enjoy the seasonal cheer at Rougham Estate’s Christmas celebrations.
NEVER MISS A THING

The weather’s looking a little more inviting… which can only mean one thing – it’s time to get out and explore.
There is no better place to do that than in the Suffolk countryside amongst the daffies and other spring flowers.
Our walks around Rougham Estate are the perfect excuse to enjoy a breath of fresh air, stretch your legs, and take in the beauty of the estate as the seasons begin to shift.
Whether it’s a gentle wander or something a little more purposeful, there’s a range of different walks to suit most abilities and all listed on our website.
Then, perhaps a well-earned stop at Roots Café afterwards – and a detour to the Rougham Estate Shop?
What a perfect day out!

We realise we are a little late to the party with this post, but we could not let the week pass without celebrating Suzy – our brilliant visual merchandiser and who is also a qualified florist. She was back on our screens last Sunday for series three of the Jimmy and Shivvy farmhouse show.
Suzy was invited back to share more of her crafting expertise after her previous appearance on the series.
We are very proud to see a member of our team showcasing her skills to the rest of the country because she is really that good. So good that you will see her creativity shine through in the shop when you visit.
If you missed the broadcast, we highly recommend finding it on catch up where she features alongside Paul Hainsworth. In the meantime, you can see Suzy’s creative work in person by visiting the Rougham Estate shop to view her latest displays and floral arrangements.

Join us for a fused glass cactus sculpture workshop, where you’ll design and make your own striking piece to take home.
It’s hands-on, a little bit different, and brilliantly satisfying – and no experience needed, just a willingness to have a go.
You’ll be guided through the process step by step, working with colour, shape and texture to bring your cactus to life in glass. A perfect way to try something new and leave with something truly unique.
Book via our website.

It’s crackers that you can travel across the world and still find a little bit of Rougham Estate.
Our Estate Manager, Simon Eddell, while on holiday, spotted something rather familiar on the shelves – Ryvita, proudly made in England.
We supply rye for @ryvitauk which means that even in Australia there’s a little slice of Rougham. It seems our rye really does have quite the passport.
Sorry… not sorry.

Ok, so you’ve all spoken – or voted, to be precise.
The winning sausage is…
Chipotle & Brie
It’s now going into production with @thurstonbutchers and will be making its way onto the menu as a weekly special, served exclusively at Roots Café.

As we come to the end of our thatching today, we have last week’s progress videos to share with you. While things may look as though they’ve slowed down, it’s quite the opposite, we’re now into the finer finishing details.
The thatch has taken on a beautiful golden colour and the roof is now fully watertight. We’re so pleased with how everything is coming together and can’t wait to share the final video with you in the next few days once the scaffolding is down.

If you’ve been thinking “I need a day to reset…” this is it.
A full day at Rougham Estate this coming Sunday is the perfect opportunity to slow down, breathe, and properly switch off.
Woodland walk in the spring sunshine, yoga, sauna + cold plunge, sound bath… and a nourishing lunch to finish the day off.
A few spaces are still available but not many. So if you would like to join us book now via the website ☺️
