About the Rougham Estate Shop
The Rougham Estate Shop is a treasure trove of delights throughout the year. From January to October it specialises in Garden and Lifestyle items and from mid-October to December it transforms into the most magical Christmas Shop.
Situated next to Roots Café, for most of the year this shop is filled with countryside-inspired finds from dried flowers and colourful vases to rustic candles, flower-arranging tools, home fragrances and seasonal home décor.
Come and discover useful gardening essentials, BBQ accessories, garden furniture, eco-friendly toys, thoughtful gifts and even a few treats for your dog. Each item is carefully chosen to enhance your home and garden, without compromising your commitment to the environment.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the shop with a paws-on-the-floor policy.
Please do keep your dog under control and ensure that your dog does not disturb other people’s enjoyment of the premises or block passageways.
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.

Questions?
All our dried flowers are grown and dried within the UK, with many grown locally in Suffolk and some are from our own garden on Rougham Estate.
Yes, wheelchairs and mobility scooters are able to be used everywhere around Blackthorpe Barn, without any steps. However, due to the nature of the shop being housed in a historic farm building, navigating with mobility scooters can be difficult, especially at busy times and particularly at the weekends.
To ensure the safety of all our customers, it might be easier to visit on quieter days during the week where we can better assist you with access, or use an alternative mobility aid, if possible.
There are accessible parking spaces near the entrance and two accessible toilets, one in the café and one in the courtyard.
You can find out more about the location from the Ground Plan.
You are welcome to pay either by card or cash in the Garden and Lifestyle shop.
We are doing our best to source our offerings from reputable sources and known origins, knowing many of our suppliers personally.

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.

If you haven’t already purchased your tree, why not consider a potted one?
Potted trees offer many benefits, including sustainability and flexibility as an alternative to cut trees.
They can be enjoyed both indoors and outdoors, and with proper care, they can be reused year after year, either repotted or planted in your garden.
We have a variety of sizes and species to choose from.
Visit Rougham Estate today to find the perfect Christmas tree, whether it’s potted or freshly cut!
