Running through Rougham Estate
This September we are looking forward to welcoming Run Vibes back for another run. Run Vibes brings their relaxed and sociable 5k trail run around the Estate, taking runners through fields, along paths and out into the surrounding Suffolk countryside.
The run is open to all abilities and all paces, whether you cover the route in 18 minutes or an hour, you’re equally welcome here.
The run sets off at 6.30pm, but arrive from 5.30pm to settle in and soak up the atmosphere. After the run the real magic begins. The Roots&Co Kiosk in the courtyard at Blackthorpe Barn will be serving freshly prepared burritos, drinks will be flowing and there will be live music from Becca Rose. It’s the kind of evening that’s as much about the people and the place as it is about the running.
Food
Burritos are all served with guacamole, rice, kidney bean salsa and cheese. Each burrito comes with a side of either creamy pink coleslaw or side salad (you can choose on the night).
Choose from:
- Madras pulled brisket
- Pulled chicken or
- Roasted sweet potato (V).
Spaces are limited, so if an evening of good company, great food and a gentle run through one of Suffolk’s most beautiful landscapes sounds like your kind of thing, don’t leave it too long to book.
TICKETs
This event is organised and run by RunVibes.
Tickets are booked directly with Run Vibes on Eventbrite – link here.

A little change to be aware of if you’re visiting us from Friday 11 September.
Our summer car park will be closing for the season, so parking will move back to the area directly in front of Blackthorpe Barn.
As autumn approaches, we’re also starting to turn our attention to the next season here at Rougham Estate, with Christmas planning and preparations getting underway behind the scenes…
The Estate never really stands still!
Please follow the signs when you arrive and we look forward to welcoming you.

Join us for a day of weaving, nature and quiet creativity at Blackthorpe Barn.
This September, come and learn from textile artist Caroline Hyde-Brown and enjoy a beautiful day of making.
The Wild Weave workshop guides you through the art of weaving with wild grasses and freshly grown flowers on a mini hand-held loom. No experience needed, just a love of nature and a willingness to slow down and make something with your hands.
You’ll choose your raw materials from a posy prepared by Caroline, learn to weave and by the end of the day you’ll have your very own unique piece of wild art to take home and display.
Caroline will also share her knowledge of foraging, medicinal herbs and how the hedgerow has inspired her own practice, making this day as much about the stories behind the craft as the making itself.
📅 10am-4pm on Saturday 26th September
📍 The Meadow Room, Blackthorpe Barn
🎟️ £75 per person
Limited places - book on our website, link in profile.
