A café at a country estate is set to close for the winter months. 

Wrights Café opened at Helmingham Hall in May 2023 and serves a range of posh cheese toasties, open sandwiches and brunch specials. 

It will be closing for winter on Monday, September 30 in line with the annual opening dates for the historic venue.

On social media, a spokesman for the café said "come say hi before we go into hibernation".

Helmingham Hall will reopen later in the year for its annual illuminated trail on Friday, November 15 and will run for 30 evenings before closing again on Wednesday, December 18.

Wrights Café will be open for refreshments alongside the recently expanded Stable Shops which will be packed with festive treats and gifts.

The cafe's original branch in Bury St Edmunds will remain open for the winter months for those looking for a cheese toastie fix. 

There will also be regular pop-ups throughout October at the pick-your-own pumpkin patch at Rougham Estate.

Helmingham Hall is expected to reopen in spring 2025.
