Period photo Booth Hire in Chippenham
If you are planning a wedding, party or special event in Chippenham, our period photo booths give guests something they can discover and enjoy throughout the celebration.
Instead of a conventional modern booth and backdrop, they find genuine period equipment, from a 1910 camera and gramophone to a Victorian grandfather clock with a working photo booth hidden inside.
It usually starts with curiosity about the equipment. Then somebody has a photograph, another group decides to join in and before long the booth has become part of the entertainment.
Photo Booth Hire for Weddings, Parties and Events in Chippenham
A photo booth works particularly well during the parts of an event when guests are free to mingle and enjoy themselves.
Friends and family can wander over when they are ready, have a photograph and return later with somebody else. There is no need to organise everyone or interrupt the rest of the celebration.
That makes it an easy addition to weddings, milestone birthdays, anniversaries, company parties and other events in and around Chippenham.
Making Your Chippenham celebration Memorable
Some of the photographs people keep are not the ones anyone planned beforehand.
It might be old friends reunited for a wedding, several generations of a family finally getting into one photograph or a group coming back later in the evening when everyone has become considerably less serious in front of the camera.
Because the booth is open and visible, other guests can see those photographs happening and decide when they want to join in.
Choosing a Photo Booth for Your Chippenham Venue
Chippenham is well placed for weddings in the surrounding north Wiltshire countryside, including historic and country-house settings.
The Manor House at Castle Combe is a good example. Its country-house surroundings and period interiors are the sort of setting where the Vintage Photo Booth or Victorian Grandfather Clock can feel at home rather than looking like modern event equipment brought into an older room.
For a more contemporary venue or relaxed party, you might prefer the brighter, more playful feel of the Through the Decades Booth instead.
Once your venue is booked, tell us about the room, approximate guest numbers and the kind of celebration you are planning. We can help you choose the booth that suits it and work out where guests will be able to enjoy it without it getting in the way of everything else happening around them.
Choose Your Period Photo Booth in Chippenham
Each of our main booths offers a different experience, so you can choose according to your venue and the kind of event you are planning.
Vintage Photo Booth
The Vintage Photo Booth is built around a genuine 1910 obscura camera, together with a converted HMV television and gramophone printing.
Modern photographic technology works alongside the original equipment, allowing the camera and printing process to remain part of what guests see and enjoy.
For a wedding in a country house, barn or historic venue around Chippenham, it can be particularly at home.
Antique Grandfather Clock Photo Booth
Our Antique Grandfather Clock Photo Booth is concealed inside a genuine Victorian grandfather clock.
Guests initially see an antique clock before discovering that there is a working photo booth hidden inside it. That surprise is part of the entertainment and often starts conversations before anyone has even taken a photograph.
It can also be used without a dedicated photo booth host standing alongside it throughout the event.
Through the Decades Photo Booth
The Through the Decades Photo Booth takes inspiration from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
It is a more playful choice for birthdays, parties and celebrations where colourful retro styling suits the occasion better than the earlier period equipment.
You can also explore our wider Photo Booth Hire range to compare the different experiences.

Wiltshire College & University Centre has a campus in Chippenham, including university-level study as part of its higher-education provision.
