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 Lifestyle and Garden 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, soft cushions, delightful throws, 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.
Please Note: The Rougham Estate Shop is beginning the transformation into the Christmas Shop which will open in October. This means that parts of the shop are being closed off to decorate them.
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.

What an honour to have been voted the 2024 Regional Muddy Stilettos Winner for the Best Lifestyle Store in Suffolk and Cambridgeshire!

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.
