About this event
Just in time for Halloween, Rougham Estate has a huge, beautiful field full of hundreds of thousands of pumpkins, squashes and gourds in 20 different varieties and many different sizes, all just waiting to be picked!
Positioned very close to Junction 45 on the A14, the aptly named Rougham Pumpkin Patch is a sea of orange, where visitors can grab a wheelbarrow and choose their perfect pumpkins to carve into spooky faces this Halloween.
There is plenty more to enjoy too, with room for children to run and climb, space to picnic, deckchairs, sandpits, ice cream, pedal tractors and small pumpkin games for the family, as well as lots of fabulous photo opportunities.

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.
