ABOUT THE Garden Room
If you enjoy coming to the Christmas shop in autumn, then you’ll love the Garden Room for the remaining seasons! This smaller shop, adjacent to Roots Café, offers an eclectic selection where each item is chosen to enhance your space without compromising your commitment to the environment.
The shop carries an assortment of dried flowers and seeds, vases made from glass, stone and ceramics, along with supplies for flower arranging. Additionally, you’ll discover exquisite candles, candlesticks and chandeliers that can help you create a delightful atmosphere at home.
Blackthorpe Barn is a step-free location with dedicated accessible parking near the entrance and two accessible toilets, one in the cafe, and one in the courtyard.
Muddy Stilettos Regional Award Winner
What an honour to have been voted the 2024 Regional Muddy Stilettos Winner for the Best Lifestyle Store in Suffolk and Cambridgeshire!
Thank you to each one who voted for us – it has made our year, especially considering we have only just opened the Garden Room a few months ago.
If you haven’t been to visit yet, here’s a good reason to come by!!
Bringing the outside in
A curated selection of lifestyle items and other delights, with a focus on sustainability and beauty.

Cards, gift wrap, ribbons and bags
Dried flowers, vases, candles and much more

We are building up the shop month by month with new suppliers coming on board all the time.
The Garden Room shop is set out in part of the Christmas shop. We are busy working behind the scenes to set up the well-loved Christmas shop for the coming year and come October, it will be opening again.
Grab a bite of lunch
Just next door to the Garden Room Shop is Roots Café, serving breakfasts, lunches and coffee and cake, using tasty locally-sourced ingredients wherever possible.
Enjoy a wander
This year we are expanding the number of walks starting from Blackthorpe Barn, with Rougham Estate offering 18 miles of public footpaths and popular cycling routes, alongside additional permissive paths. Coupled with the café and the shop, this creates a superb destination for a relaxing day out in the Suffolk countryside and to enjoy the changing seasons.

Be impressed by the standard of the talent of the artisans at the Blackthorpe Barn this weekend, and for the next 5 weekends. It’s worth coming just to be amazed at what dedicated craftspeople can create as well as finding unique gifts and delightful treats for yourself.
The range of crafts is huge, with around 50 makers from around the country coming to the Barn each weekend. Some makers are only here for one weekend, others stay for multiple weekends; there is always something new to see.
Online day tickets are £2.50, which is cheaper than a cup of coffee and the online season ticket is a bargain at £10 for entry to all 10 days – come and go as you please! Children 16 and under have free entry. Prices on the door: £3/day, £12/season.

In and amongst all the activities that have been going on with Pumpkins and Christmas, it hasn’t stopped the farming on the Estate.
We’ve recently been harvesting the sugar beet and if you look closely, you can see the steam coming from the sugar beet factory in background. That’s how close our footprint is!

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
