Visit the Rougham Hall ruins
Rougham Hall now stands as a ruin after it was bombed in 1940 and it is NOT open to the public except as part of these guided tours. Anyone found trespassing at the hall site will have their details taken and be required to leave immediately.
However you can join George Agnew, great grandson of George William Agnew who bought the Rougham Estate in 1904, as he expertly guides a group walking around this part of the beautiful Estate.
Pausing at key points along the way, George shares stories of the fascinating local history as well as his Agnew family history. The walk takes in Rougham Hall Park and includes a visit to the hall ruins themselves.
Only organised groups can visit the hall, so take this opportunity to visit the ruin.
The walk lasts approximately two hours and starts and finishes at Blackthorpe Barn.
All profit goes to The Rougham Estate Trust

✨Blackthorpe Barn is the place to be this weekend!✨
🎄Christmas has landed and the festivities have begun
💍 Arts&Crafts Weekend 1 kicks off with a stellar range of magnificent makers selling their fabulous hand-crafted goods within the setting of the magical medieval thatched Barn. You’ll find quality gifts and treats galore at this Christmas fair.
Day tickets: £2.50 online/£3 on the door, or why not get a season ticket for £10 online to have entry to all 10 days of the whole event (£12 on the door). Open Sat & Sun 10-4
🛍️ The Christmas Shop is brim-full of more decorations than you can dream of, with lighting and gifts too. This is as close as you get to an adult Santa’s Grotto. Open daily 9.30-5 (4 on Sundays)
🌲 It’s the last weekend of PYO Christmas tree, with a very few tickets left for Sunday (bookable until 5pm on Saturday evening). Come and find your perfect Christmas tree on the plantation and we’ll cut it a day or two before you collect it.
🎄 Potted Christmas trees are already on sale in the courtyard, with cut trees available from 23rd November.
🧒🏻 The play area with the big bale pyramid and sand pits is set up in the Meadow, with plenty of benches to sit at. Space to run and let off steam, with the beautiful tree trunk sculpture to admire.
🍽️ Roots Café, the sit-down café, is open 9-5 daily (until 4pm on Sundays), with the new Roots&Co takeaway hut open in the courtyard selling tasty treats like Gravy-soaked Turkey & Stuffing in a Roll and mince pies, and mulled wine and coffees. We are joined by @tikka_tonic too, cooking up their delicious New Delhi style street food all made from scratch.
🧑🎨There are still some spaces on the wreath workshops in the coming weeks as well, where you can get crafty yourself.
✨So much Christmas Magic in one place - Rougham Estate is the place to come to make memories.
