An Exploration of Dreams and Dreaming
Gilly Crow has spent over 30 years as a psychotherapist in the Suffolk countryside, and for much of that time dreams have been at the heart of her work. Now, with the publication of her first book, Wake Up to Your Dreams: An Exploration of Dreams and Dreaming, she is sharing what she has learned, and it is well worth listening to.
Gilly draws on her own remarkable journey into the world of dreams, from her very first client, whose nightly dreams held the key to decades of unspoken trauma, to the dream groups she has run for over thirteen years in her beautiful Suffolk garden, a private nature reserve alive with butterflies and wildlife.
Her approach is warm, accessible and grounded in real experience. She doesn’t talk about interpreting dreams, but rather about exploring them. There is the important difference; a dream doesn’t have to yield a neat meaning to be profoundly meaningful. Sometimes, she says, just listening to a dream is enough.
Whether you are haunted by recurring dreams, curious about what your unconscious might be trying to tell you or simply drawn to the idea that there is more going on while you sleep than you realise, this is an event not to be missed.

What could be living in here?
Last chance to book on our Fermentation Workshop on Saturday 5 September.
Join chef Rowen Halstead of @wastenotrowen for a hands-on 90-minute workshop exploring the simple art of fermentation and how it can help reduce food waste at home.
You’ll learn the science and techniques behind fermentation before creating two ferments of your own: a curried root vegetable kraut and spiced pickled pears with whey. You’ll then take your creations home to enjoy.
No previous experience is needed, and everything you need is provided, including ingredients, recipe cards and jars if required.
Tea and coffee are included too.
Saturday 5 September, 11am–12.30pm
£38 per person
Meadow Room, behind Blackthorpe Barn

A look back at the last days of Rougham Sunflowers 2026🌻
It’s been a week since the sunflower field closed its gates for this season, and what a great year it was! The flowers were glorious this year, with the early rain and then the long, warm, sunny days. Thank you for coming to see them and spend time at the field. We’ve really enjoyed seeing you here!
The sunflowers ended in style with the Sundowner evening on Saturday, which was everything we hoped it would be: good food, great music, drinks in the golden hour and the most wonderful atmosphere as the sun went down over the flowers.
On the final Sunday afternoon, the Canvas Club workshop group painted their sunflowers at the field and some truly beautiful paintings went home with some very happy painters.
None of it would be possible, however, without our brilliant team, who worked so hard throughout the season to make the sunflower experience what it was. The team encompasses so many people who all contribute to the end result - from drilling the seed earlier in the year, to setting up everything in the field for visitors including making games and props, to those manning and servicing the field and the Roots kiosk each day, who open up early and close and clean up each evening, and those in the background who pull the event together in many other ways - it’s a HUGE team effort. Thank you to each of you!! You have been amazing and we are very grateful to every one.
🎃Now it’s time to look ahead to the autumn festival of pumpkins in October. They will be in the same field as the sunflowers this year and will be open every weekend in October and daily for the final week, from 24th-31st.
There’s a great line-up of food trucks and two evening Pumpkins by Torchlight events being planned. Keep your eyes open for more details, here on socials and on our website.
✨And while the pumpkins are in full swing, on 19th October, the Christmas Festival will begin with the opening of the Christmas Shop at Blackthorpe Barn just half a mile down the road.
There’s so much to look forward to! We look forward to seeing you again soon!👋
