What Makes Our Antique Photo Booth Unique
Unlike a traditional photo booth, our Antique Photo Booth is designed to create curiosity before guests even realise what it is. The appearance and design of the Grandfather Clock Photo Booth are protected through UK Registered Design registrations 6535843–6535854.
Our craftsmen built it from an authentic Victorian grandfather clock. Its elegant appearance naturally attracts attention and becomes a talking point throughout the event.
Guests gather around, intrigued by its appearance. They quickly discover an interactive photography experience that produces studio-quality photographs in seconds.
This element of surprise makes our Antique Photo Booth one of the most memorable attractions you can add to an event.
A Genuine Victorian Grandfather Clock Turned Into an Antique Photo Booth
This isn't a conventional photo booth dressed in vintage styling. Our booth has been handcrafted from an authentic Victorian grandfather clock, combining genuine period character with modern digital photography. The result is an antique photo booth that becomes part of the event itself — a conversation piece, backdrop and entertainment experience in one.
Antique Photo Booth Hire for Weddings, Corporate Events & Special Occasions
It fits perfectly within luxury hotels, museums, historic houses, conference centres, castles, universities and elegant wedding venues:
ANTIQUE Photo Booth Hire FOR Weddings
Our Antique Photo Booth is a beautiful addition to wedding receptions, creating a memorable experience for guests while fitting naturally into elegant and historic venues. The distinctive Grandfather Clock design provides an impressive talking point and works particularly well alongside traditional, luxury or contemporary wedding styling.
Guests can enjoy the booth throughout the reception, capturing relaxed group photographs and creating digital memories and instant printed keepsakes to take home. Digital copies can also be shared, giving you and your guests a lasting collection of photographs from the day.
With a choice of backdrops and our collection of vintage-inspired props, the booth can be styled to complement your wedding. It is ideal for entertaining guests between the ceremony and wedding breakfast, during the evening reception and throughout the celebrations.
ANTIQUE Photo Booth Hire FOR Corporate EVENTS
We designed the Grandfather Clock Photo Booth specifically for premium corporate events, where presentation and guest experience matter. Its distinctive Victorian appearance creates an impressive feature at conferences, exhibitions, awards ceremonies, product launches, networking events and corporate hospitality.
Every photograph can be personalised with your company logo, event branding or bespoke artwork, helping turn each print into a branded keepsake. Guests can also share digital photographs instantly, extending the visibility of your event beyond the day itself.
For businesses, our Antique Photo Booth is far more than entertainment. It encourages networking, creates natural conversation starters, increases delegate interaction and provides attendees with something tangible to remember your company and event.
Antique photo booth for Proms, Balls & University Events
Our Antique Photo Booth is a popular choice for proms, school celebrations, university balls, graduation events and formal student occasions. The Grandfather Clock design adds something completely different to a standard photo booth, creating a sophisticated feature that works particularly well in grand halls, universities and formal event spaces.
Students and guests can take photographs with friends, use our selection of props and receive instant printed photographs to keep. Digital copies provide an easy way to share photographs with friends and classmates after the event.
For organisers, the booth provides an engaging activity that encourages guests to mingle, interact and create memorable photographs throughout the evening. Bespoke print designs can also be created to reflect the school, university, society or event.
Antique Photo Booth Hire for Museums, Heritage & Historic Venues
Introducing modern event technology into a museum or historic venue requires more than simply finding somewhere to put it. Equipment needs to respect the character of the surroundings, while installation and removal may need to take place around sensitive interiors, priceless artefacts and important collections.
Our Antique Photo Booth offers a different approach. Modern photography technology is discreetly incorporated within an authentic Victorian grandfather clock, allowing the experience to sit sympathetically within historic surroundings rather than appearing as an obviously modern installation.
This makes the Grandfather Clock Photo Booth particularly suited to museums, historic houses, stately homes, castles, Oxford colleges and heritage venues where appearance, atmosphere and careful event delivery all matter.
Just as importantly, we understand the responsibility that comes with working in these environments. Our white-glove approach is informed by experience working alongside priceless artefacts and collections in museums and historic venues. We liaise directly with curators, venue teams and event organisers in advance to plan access, positioning, installation and removal around the individual requirements of the building and its collections.
The result is an Antique Photo Booth experience that combines genuine period character with modern photography, while providing the careful planning and professional delivery expected within historically significant surroundings.

Is the Grandfather Clock Photo Booth a real antique?
Yes. Our Grandfather Clock Photo Booth has been handcrafted from an authentic Victorian grandfather clock and carefully adapted to incorporate modern photography technology. Rather than creating a modern photo booth simply styled to look old, we've retained the genuine period character of the original clock while transforming it into a fully interactive photography experience.
Is the Antique Photo Booth suitable for museums and historic venues?
Yes. We provide a careful, white-glove service for museums, historic houses and heritage venues, with experience working alongside priceless artefacts and collections. We liaise directly with curators and venue teams to plan access, positioning, installation and removal with appropriate care. Its authentic Victorian grandfather clock exterior also allows modern photography technology to sit sympathetically within historically significant surroundings.
How much space does the Antique Photo Booth require?
The Grandfather Clock Photo Booth has a remarkably compact footprint, requiring a minimum area of approximately 1m × 2m. This makes it particularly useful for venues where available floor space is limited. Where more room is available, additional space can be incorporated around the booth for guest interaction, props or event branding, creating a larger and more immersive photographic experience.
How long does the Antique Photo Booth take to set up?
The Grandfather Clock Photo Booth typically takes approximately 30–45 minutes to set up from arrival, subject to venue access and positioning. We can liaise with your venue in advance to discuss access, installation and any particular requirements, helping ensure the Antique Photo Booth is positioned, tested and ready before your guests need it.

Can the Antique Photo Booth be used without a Photo Booth Host?
Yes. The Grandfather Clock Photo Booth has been designed to provide an intuitive interactive experience and can be operated without a dedicated Photo Booth Host where appropriate. A professional host can also be added if you would prefer someone to welcome guests, encourage participation and oversee the experience throughout your event.
Can photographs be branded for a wedding or corporate event?
Yes. Bespoke branding can be incorporated into photographs, allowing names, dates, logos, event graphics or other agreed designs to appear on the finished prints. This is arranged in advance. We can also discuss physical branding within the surrounding setup, backdrop or foreground, allowing the Grandfather Clock Photo Booth experience to be tailored for weddings, corporate events and brand activations.
Are props included?
Props can be incorporated into your Antique Photo Booth experience, with options including authentic antique and period pieces, hats and faux-fur coats. For an even more immersive event, themed professional actors can also be hired as Photo Booth Hosts or as walkabout characters, meeting and greeting guests and bringing additional period character and interaction to the occasion.
Do guests receive printed and digital photographs?
Yes. Guests can enjoy unlimited printed photographs throughout the event, providing an immediate keepsake to take home.
