About this event
Everyone has their own idea of the perfect Christmas tree. What could be better than going onto the plantation at Rougham Estate and choosing it for yourself, right where it has been growing for years!
You can wander through hundreds of trees of different shapes and sizes until you find “the One”.
It’s a wonderful experience for everyone; very exciting for children, and your dog (on a lead) is welcome to come with you too; come with the whole family and pick up to 3 trees.
We’ll cut your special tree, perfectly fresh, just a day or two before your selected collection week.
Choose from 3 collection weeks when you book; your tree will be at Blackthorpe Barn ready, wrapped and waiting for you from Saturday until the following Thursday.
At a time that suits you (within our opening times), come to Blackthorpe Barn, pay for your tree, take it home and make it look beautiful for the festive season (perhaps include a visit to the Christmas shop for some new decorations!).

About the Venue
Blackthorpe Barn is an old medieval threshing barn, but these days the Barn and surrounding buildings are used for events including the festive Country Christmas shop, selling a wide range of Christmas decorations and gifts, and the Arts & Crafts fair at Christmas, as well as other events, the Roots Café, craft workshops and art exhibitions during the year. It is also used to host beautiful weddings during the summer months.
We are part of the Rougham Estate which grows sunflowers and pumpkins and runs events in the summer and autumn.See the events calendar for day-to-day information, or follow us on Facebook and Instagram to see what’s on.
The Blackthorpe Barn was built around 1550, probably by John Drury who had just acquired the Manor of Rougham through the dissolution of the Great Benedictine Abbey at Bury St Edmunds in 1539.
