Create, Connect & Graze
Join us for our all new Canvas Club, a relaxed and creative evening of painting, sharing plates and sipping fizz all guided by artist Sarah Day of Day Design.
Settle in for an experience that’s as much about great food as it is about creativity. Throughout the evening, you’ll enjoy a delicious selection of tapas-style dishes, perfect for grazing as you paint, chat, and unwind.
During the session, Sarah will guide you step-by-step through creating your own colourful Chilli Peppers artwork using acrylic paints. With demonstrations and support throughout, you’ll build confidence while enjoying the process in a welcoming, social setting.
Your ticket includes a glass of fizz (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and a curated selection of tapas plates, designed to be enjoyed alongside the workshop.
No prior painting experience is required just an interest in creativity and a willingness to have a go.
What will I do?
- Learn basic acrylic painting techniques and brush skills
- be guided step-by-step to create a Chilli Peppers painting
- Enjoy a relaxed social atmosphere while your paint
- Take home your finished artwork
Who is this workshop suitable for?
- People aged 16 and over
- Beginners, no experience necessary
- Anyone with an interest in creativity and trying something new

This May we’re delighted to be welcoming back three talented Suffolk-based artists to Rougham Estate. Cyndi Speer, Carol Pask and J. “Mac” McCaughan are returning with a beautiful exhibition of new paintings, ceramics, textiles and metalwork.
Cyndi brings her dreamlike oil paintings, including the use of metallic leaf or spray paint, with each one rooted in a deep love of the natural world as well as embracing colour, contour and movement.
Carol presents her striking sculptural, smoke-fired ceramics alongside her Land-to-Cloth textile range, which includes hand-dyed and hand-knitted wool accessories made from native British sheep breeds.
Mac is exhibiting his beautifully crafted metalwork, blending traditional blacksmithing with contemporary design, creating elegant, storied pieces with forged steel.
This show has something for everyone.

Goodbye April!
It was a month that we enjoyed seeing the energy return to the Estate.
The days got longer, the bluebells made a show, wildlife started to come to life and farming was in full flow.
There was even the occasional al fresco dining on the decking at Roots Café and BBQ items started to make an appearance in the shop.
Such a treat it was. But now we get to say hello May!
