This is East Anglia’s famous Christmas Shop, a veritable Aladdin’s Cave of everything festive from decorations, lighting, gifts and magic for everyone. Whether you prefer more rustic, Skandi decor or the full-blown, gloriously opulent Christmas style, this shop has to be seen to be believed!

Christmas at Blackthorpe Barn

Blackthorpe Barn is famous for the awesome Christmas Festival that is held here each year. Starting in the second half of October, and drawing visitors from around the country, the magical Christmas Shop is a sight to behold, complemented by the well-respected Arts and Crafts Fair which runs for 5 weekends from mid-November.

Apart from decorations and gifts, the Rougham Estate Christmas trees, grown right here on the Estate are available from the end of November, with 2 very special weekends early November where you can go and find your perfect tree right on the plantation. Everything you can dream of for Christmas, right here!
