Christmas Trees
From November our very own Rougham Estate Christmas trees are on sale. Come and choose your own tree on the plantation, or select from potted and freshly-cut trees, all grown within 1 mile of Blackthorpe Barn.

Christmas Wreaths
Handmade on-site with foliage from Rougham Estate, our delightful Christmas wreaths come in various sizes, from small to huge, ensuring a beautiful festive welcome at your door. They are sold from the Christmas shop as they are made and are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you would like to make your own wreath, we hold workshops in the pre-Christmas period.

Christmas is the time to treat yourself; coming to one of our Christmas craft workshops makes a wonderful start to the season. Why not make your own decorations this year, a special gift for a loved one or even your own fresh Christmas wreath! All our workshops are tutored by friendly, professional craftspeople.

Rougham Estate is full of spring energy right now – it’s a feast for the senses. The rhododendrons are putting on a real show in bold pinks and purples, and the hawthorn is in full bloom with soft white blossoms brushing the hedgerows.
You’ll catch the sweet scent of wildflowers as you wander, with birdsong overhead and bees darting between blooms. The open spaces and woodlands are alive with colour, sound and movement – it’s the perfect time to visit if you’re craving a bit of calm and connection with nature.
Take a slow walk or sit in our Sunken Garden or in the Courtyard where you can soak it all up. Spring doesn’t get much better than this.

Early May is a lovely time to explore the woods at Rougham. The trees are full of fresh green leaves, but there are just enough gaps to let the light spill through – it’s that magical mix of dappled sun and shade that makes everything feel calm and inviting.
It’s the perfect spot for a slow walk, a family wander, or a good catch-up with friends. Dogs love it too – plenty of space to sniff and explore.
Grab a takeaway from Roots, bring your walking shoes, and enjoy some proper time outdoors while spring’s still showing off.
