As the sunflower season draws to a close, we’re sending it off in style. Join us for a special BBQ and music evening in the field as the sun goes down, and it’s going to be a good one. Everyone is welcome.
Come and wander at your own pace, soak up the last of the summer light and enjoy supper in the open air at the Rougham Sunflower field. With golden hour casting everything in a warm glow, this is one of those evenings you’ll be glad you didn’t miss.
Join us for…
- A summer evening BBQ – book tickets in advance on this page
- SolisMusic playing easy summer tunes
- Drinks, snacks and sweet treats from the Roots&Co kiosk

Entrance and parking are free, as always. Just pay for anything you’d like to eat or drink. Card preferred, cash also accepted.
Whether you make an evening of it with a BBQ meal or simply come for a wander and a moment of late summer beauty, we’d love to see you there.
