Despite only being halfway through summer, a Suffolk estate is planning ahead with the announcement of the reopening of its festive shop. 

Rougham Estate is getting ready to spread Christmas spirit and cheer through the offering of arts and crafts fairs, workshops and Christmas trees. 

The Country Christmas Shop will reopen on Monday, October 21 and will be open every day until Friday, December 22. 

It will be selling high-end decorations, wreaths and lifestyle gifts and goodies.

"It's another enchanting setting, perfect for visitors to immerse themselves in the festive spirit, find unique gifts for their loved ones and soak up the magical atmosphere that truly signals the star of Christmas.

"I look forward to welcoming visitors old and new when the doors open to the Country Christmas Shop on October 21."

Arts and crafts fairs, Christmas workshops and pick-your-own Christmas trees are also returning to Blackthorpe Barns at the estate this year.
