Blackthorpe Barn is an art centre based in a huge thatched
barn set in the heart of the Suffolk countryside, that during the
summer season specialises in classical music of the highest
international standards and art and craft exhibitions. A selling
exhibition of tribal rugs and occasional visits by theatre companies
and opera groups complete the mix. The winter season is dominated by
Blackthorpe Barn’s justly famous ‘Christmas at Blackthorpe Barn’
event, running from mid November until Christmas, which combines
five weekends of the finest crafts produced by designer makers from
the UK with a superb Christmas decoration shop and top quality
Christmas trees grown locally on the Rougham Estate. Mulled wine,
home made refreshments and locally brewed award winning beers add
that final touch.
Summer Music
Two weekends of the finest classical music creating a festival
atmosphere with world-class musicians converging on the Barn to play
to audiences who have keenly awaited the event all year. The evening
is rounded off by a delicious buffet supper eaten often in the
company of the musicians themselves. Picnicking before the concerts
is becoming increasingly popular and well stocked bar looks after
the need of concertgoers throughout the evening. Tickets are
available on-line at www.blackthorpebarn.com or from the Theatre
Royal Box Office on 01284 769505.
Christmas at Blackthorpe Barn
Sixty craft stalls presenting the finest work of designer makers
from the UK, many changing each week fill the Barn with superb gift
ideas. The designer makers themselves are usually present to discuss
their work and to take commissions.
The Christmas Decoration Shop at Blackthorpe Barn is
legendary and must be one of the best in the country, offering a
vast range of the finest pieces including many Scandinavian and
German designs. Locally made wreaths, garlands, holly and mistletoe
add to the choices available.
The Rougham Estate’s award winning Christmas trees are grown
within a mile of the Barn and are the freshest available anywhere.
