Photo Booth Hire in Cambridgeshire

Getting a booth into Cambridgeshire venues

Cambridge presents the most involved access of any venue in the county: restricted city-centre streets, narrow college lanes and porters' lodges with set delivery windows. We deal with this by confirming the entrance and the timing with the college or venue in advance, unloading in the agreed spot and moving the vehicle to a park and ride or permitted car park. The Cambridge page covers these arrangements in more detail.

Elsewhere, Fenland village halls and converted barns around Ely and Huntingdon are generally easier, though the lanes can be narrow and some halls have a step or two at the entrance. Setup takes about 45 to 60 minutes before the hire window and is not counted as hire time. Each booth runs from one standard socket, apart from the Inflatable Booth which uses two, and a marquee needs a reliable 13A supply from the mains or a properly sized generator.

Where in Cambridgeshire we work

Cambridge has its own dedicated page. Across the rest of the county we cover Peterborough in the north, Ely and Soham to the east, Huntingdon, St Ives and St Neots along the A14 and A1 corridor, and Wisbech, March and Chatteris in the Fens. Villages between these towns are included; no venue is too remote provided there is a road to it and a socket inside.

The M11 brings us up from the south into Cambridge, the A14 crosses the county between Huntingdon and Cambridge, the A1(M) serves Peterborough and St Neots, and the A10 connects Cambridge with Ely and the Fenland towns. Delivery and setup are included in every package wherever the venue is.

Booths suited to Cambridgeshire bookings

The LCD SlimPod is the booth we send to Cambridgeshire most often. At 36 centimetres wide it fits through a college doorway or into a corner of a village hall, and its prints, GIFs and background removal cover most needs from £299. The Retro Pod, with its inbuilt printer and tidy cabling, is a favourite for barn weddings around Ely and Huntingdon where the classic strip prints match a rustic style.

For May Balls, student events and proms, the enclosed Party Booth gives groups of up to eight a curtained space to be silly in, with two prints a session. Science park and biomedical campus companies in and around Cambridge choose the GIF Booth for digital-only sharing with a branded overlay at launches and summer parties.

College halls, Fenland barns and Peterborough hotels

Cambridge's college and university venues provide dining halls, panelled rooms and gardens for balls, graduation celebrations and weddings, each with its own access rules. Peterborough has conference hotels and city venues suited to corporate dinners and awards nights. Around Ely and Huntingdon there are converted barns and farm venues, often with a marquee for larger receptions.

The Fens are served by village halls and community centres, which host birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas parties. Riverside venues along the Cam and the Great Ouse at St Ives and St Neots offer another option for summer events. Golf clubs and school halls complete the range.

Weddings, balls and corporate events, with planning tips

Cambridgeshire weddings split between college settings in the city and barns in the countryside. For college weddings we recommend confirming the booth's position with the porters' lodge early, since some rooms have listed floors or limited sockets. Barn weddings usually place the booth near the bar, opening after the speeches. Guest books are provided with every print booth.

May Balls and student society events often run late into the night, and our hire windows can be timed accordingly. Corporate bookings at science and business parks ask for logo-branded prints and a digital gallery delivered afterwards. Proms for schools in Peterborough, Huntingdon, Ely and Cambridge and milestone birthdays in Fenland village halls make up the rest, and the attendant looks after the queue throughout.
