Treat for Suffolk magazine subscribers at Blackthorpe Barn

Subscribers Linda Stuart and Cathy Shelbourne (Image: Lucy Taylor) We were delighted to be able to invite our subscribers to join us at Blackthorpe Barn, on the Rougham Estate near Bury St Edmunds, where they enjoyed an exclusive ‘first look’ at their incredible Christmas shop, prior to its opening today (Monday October 21).

Freya Daniels and Mary Jones enjoyed the treats on offer (Image: Lucy Taylor) Our subscribers arrived to mulled wine, mince pies and delicious tray bakes before hearing from EADT editor, Liz Nice, and George Agnew, owner of Blackthorpe Barns and Rougham Estate.

Liz thanked the subscribers for coming and spoke to readers who love the magazine, as well as a number who enjoy the EADT as well!

He said:  "We are thrilled to be involved with the Suffolk Magazine’s first exclusive VIP afternoon. It’s always a pleasure to work with Suffolk magazine, and it has been the perfect launch for our Christmas season."

Guests had the chance to learn more about the history of the long barn, and meander around the Christmas shop. We were delighted to hear our Suffolk magazine subscribers commenting on how wonderful it was to get the opportunity to have a first look and make some Christmas purchases.
