The famous Christmas Shop at Blackthorpe Barn, Suffolk

Decorations
Be enchanted by the many themed areas, each showcasing creativity and meticulous attention to detail and offering an elegance of its own. There are stunning collections of individual pieces that can be used as an exclusive colour palette, or mixed and matched to create your own unique blend of Christmas delights.
Fair-trade and Craft Kits
Enjoy exploring our fair-trade decorations, supporting global communities, as well as British-made products, or get creative yourself with a range of crafting supplies and ready-made kits.
Gifts
Discover an abundance of gifts at our shop, ensuring you find the perfect, delightfully unique present. Explore wide selections for everyone, including men and furry friends too.
For hand-crafted gifts, don’t miss the 5 weekends of Arts and Crafts. Purchases over £75 in the Christmas Shop qualify to receive 2x one-day tickets to Arts and Crafts.
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.

What can I find in the shop?
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”.
If you would like to make your own Christmas wreath, each Christmas we offer wreath workshops – click here to find out more.

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.

Early May is a lovely time to explore the woods at Rougham. The trees are full of fresh green leaves, but there are just enough gaps to let the light spill through – it’s that magical mix of dappled sun and shade that makes everything feel calm and inviting.
It’s the perfect spot for a slow walk, a family wander, or a good catch-up with friends. Dogs love it too – plenty of space to sniff and explore.
Grab a takeaway from Roots, bring your walking shoes, and enjoy some proper time outdoors while spring’s still showing off.
