Our Oxford Brookes photo booth experience

Our Oxford Brookes photo booth experience, from student balls and awards nights to university events.

A regular at Brookes events

We've had the pleasure of being a regular supplier for events at Oxford Brookes University, and if there's one thing we've learned, it's that they know how to throw a seriously good event.

Whether it's a lively student ball, a graduation celebration or a themed society night, Brookes events always bring a unique twist. Each one is packed with personality, and our photo booths fit right in.

Photo booths for student events

Student events have their own energy. The atmosphere is buzzing, everyone is ready to have fun, and the enthusiasm is infectious. Our photo booths tap straight into it.

From backdrops and props to personalised prints and themed designs, the booth helps capture the spirit of each event. Let's just say Brookes students know how to strike a pose.

Working with the Brookes Union

We've worked with the Brookes Union on multiple occasions, bringing both The Selfie Pod and The Retro Pod to different events, including the Union's awards night. The feedback from students and organisers has been consistently positive.

With unlimited prints and instant sharing to phones, everyone gets their photos, even when hundreds of students want a turn.

University of Oxford events too

Events at the University of Oxford are iconic, from formal college balls and black-tie dinners to socials and end-of-term celebrations. They combine tradition with an unforgettable atmosphere.

Our booths bring a modern, fun experience to these settings while respecting the elegance of the occasion. In centuries-old halls, The Retro Pod's warm handcrafted wood looks right at home; in a styled marquee, The Selfie Pod's clean white design fits perfectly.

Tips for student event organisers

  • Book early. Ball season and the end of term are busy, and popular dates go months ahead.

  • Plan the space. Allow about 2.5m × 2.5m and one standard 13-amp socket, somewhere visible near the bar or dance floor.

  • Theme the design. A start screen and print template that match your ball or society theme make every print a keepsake.

  • Open it at the right moment. Opening the booth as dinner or the formal part ends keeps the energy up.
