A huge thank you to Blackthorpe Barn at the Rougham Estate, Bury St Edmunds for giving our wonderful Suffolk Magazine subscribers an exclusive sneak peek of the Blackthorpe Barn Christmas Shop last Friday, before its official opening today. Our subscribers were welcomed to Blackthorpe Barn on Friday afternoon and treated to mulled wine and mince pies, before hearing from the East Anglian Daily Times editor Liz Nice. Guests then heard from George Agnew owner of Rougham Estate and Blackthorpe Barn where he spoke of the incredible history, and how their wonderful Christmas shop has become the festive delight it is today. Suffolk magazine subscribers also had the option to have a short, guided tour from George around the barn, learning about its history and importance. Other attendees headed straight to the Christmas shop, where they were greeted by an abundance of festive decorations, gifts and trinkets to begin their Christmas shopping.  The Blackthorpe Barn Christmas shop opens to the public today – and as you can see from the images, it really will get you into the festive spirit, it’s not to be missed, be sure to take a trip yourself and soak up the Christmas spirit! We're so grateful to have shared this special festive afternoon with our loyal subscribers. Stay tuned for more subscriber-only events coming soon! #Suffolk #SuffolkMagazine #SubscriberEvent #Christmas #ChristmasEvent #BlackthorpeBarn #RoughamEstate Vincent Boni Laura Bielinski Gemma Coote Hannah Faulder Gildart Liz Nice Darron Mc Loughlin Chris Nichols Stephanie Griffin Emily Oxbury Helen Couch

The event marked the beginning of a new chapter for our Ipswich and Suffolk based teams, who now have the perfect base to continue delivering quality journalism, local stories, and community news across the region, we were delighted to have so many Suffolk business people join us in celebration and mark the occasion, making the day so special. The new office is set to be a hub of creativity and collaboration. We were delighted, and it was an absolute honour to have Lord Lieutenant, Clare, Countess of Euston join us and complete the ribbon cutting, as well as Deputy Lieutenant of Suffolk Terry Hunt, previous editor of the EADT.
