Important information
Mobility Scooters:
We understand and respect the challenges faced by those with mobility needs and we strive to make our shop as welcoming and accessible as possible. However, due to the nature of the shop being housed in a historic farm building, navigating with mobility scooters can be particularly difficult, especially during the weekends when it can get very busy.
To ensure the safety of all our customers, it might be easier to visit on quieter days during the week where we can better assist you with access, or use an alternative mobility aid, different from a mobility scooter, if possible.

Advent calendars, angels, baubles, candle rings, candles, crackers, cuddly toys, foliage, garlands, gift tags, gingerbread decorations, lanterns, LED lights, lighting, napkins, ornaments, present sacks, ribbons, snow globes, stockings, sweets, tea-light holders, tree toppers, wrapping paper, wreaths … and much, much more!
Handmade Wreaths
From the end of November, handmade wreaths are available to buy from the shop. These often sell as soon as they are made; they are not something that is kept “in stock”.

Weekends closer to Christmas
The shop can get very busy at the weekends, especially at the end of November and through into December.
We ask for your patience at these times and a queue for entry will be created when the shop reaches its maximum capacity. As soon as there is space, you will be allowed in.
Sometimes there are breakages, which means that there can be shards on the floor, so please carry any dogs with you.
Mobility Scooters
We understand and respect the challenges faced by those with mobility needs and we strive to make our shop as welcoming and accessible as possible. However, due to the nature of the shop being housed in a historic farm building, navigating with mobility scooters can be difficult, especially during the weekends.

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:
Roots&Co - sausage & bacon baps until 11am, then loaded hashbrowns, cakes and drinks
@whatthe_peck - freshly-prepared Suffolk-reared buttermilk chicken
@samu_kitchen - tasty vegan dishes

The Roaming Sauna is back this weekend!
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.
