The “Big 24” Quilts Exhibition 2024

We are excited to announce a new event here at Rougham Estate.

On Friday 20th February 2026, we’re hosting a Reset Retreat, a one-day retreat designed to help you slow down, reset and reconnect. Set in the Suffolk countryside, the day runs from 9.45am to 3pm and brings together gentle movement, time outdoors and deep relaxation.

The experience includes a guided mindful walk, a balanced yoga class with @thecreatespacecollective , sauna and cold plunge sessions with @the_roaming_sauna_ , a soothing sound bath, and plenty of space to pause and breathe. The day finishes with a late, light lunch, thoughtfully prepared to nourish and restore.

There are limited spaces available to keep the experience calm and personal. So book fast.

You can find out more and book online at https://roughamestate.com/events/the-reset-retreat/

Ramble and Roots...

For when walks turn into chats!

As it’s National #BrewMonday on the 19th January - a day encouraging people to connect over a cuppa and take a moment to check in with themselves and others, we’re using this opportunity to kick off a monthly walk, followed by a brew at Roots Café.

We welcome anyone who would like come for the walk and stay for the chat. An opportunity to meet new people, enjoy some company, get outside in nature, and be a part of the Rougham community.

The walk starts at 10am with a relaxed, guided route around the Estate, led by a friendly face from Rougham Estate. It’s a great chance to enjoy the outdoors, get some gentle exercise, meet new people, and make a regular outing part of your month. Well-behaved dogs on short leads are very welcome.

We’ll be running these walks every month, so this first one on Brew Monday is the perfect place to start. If you can’t make it, the next walk will be on 16th February.

To join, we only ask that you register your interest by emailing events@roughamestate.com.

Sitting proudly here all year, our tree sculpture can often be missed by visitors, but this is a lovely time of year to slow down and really explore the Estate and grounds.

Forest Floor is a sculpture commissioned by Rougham Estate in 2021 to mark thirty years of Arts and Crafts events at Blackthorpe Barn. Created from an old oak tree grown on the Estate, it has been cut along its entire length to open like a book. And like a book, it tells a story – the hidden life beneath the ground in an ancient woodland. Look closely and you’ll spot a face at one end, along with details of the oak’s structure and growth.

At its heart, the piece is about discovery. It reminds us that a woodland or forest is one vast, connected organism which, when left undisturbed, can survive for thousands of years. A precious link to the past, and one that feels especially relevant now and for the future.

You can find Forest Floor at Blackthorpe Barn, in the meadow just across the car park. Visitors are very welcome to wander between the ‘pages’ and take it all in.
