Welcome to Chalfont Magic Mirror Photo Booth Hire

Warm Magic Mirror Photo Booth Hire for Every Chalfont St Giles Celebration

Chalfont St Giles is one of Buckinghamshire’s most picturesque, most literarily distinguished and most warmly community-invested villages — a community in the Chiltern District whose extraordinary combination of a genuinely beautiful and extensively intact village centre of medieval, Tudor and later vernacular buildings arranged around a village green and pond of quite exceptional compositional charm and natural beauty, a remarkable literary heritage of national and international significance embodied in the cottage where John Milton completed Paradise Lost and began Paradise Regained during the plague year of 1665, the outstanding beech woodland, chalk stream and common land landscape of the Chilterns immediately surrounding the village on every side, the Chiltern Open Air Museum preserving the vernacular building heritage of the wider Chilterns landscape at Newland Park nearby, and the warm, engaged and quality-conscious character of a community that values its extraordinary natural and historic setting with genuine daily appreciation and careful, long-maintained collective stewardship creates a village of considerable quiet distinction, genuinely significant national cultural importance and the particular quality of English village life at its most authentically and most warmly realised.

Chalfont St Giles’s village centre — its pond and green providing the compositional focus for a grouping of timber-framed, flint-and-brick and rendered cottages and houses that spans five centuries of domestic vernacular building in a sequence of accumulating architectural variety and consistent period quality — is one of the most frequently photographed, most widely admired and most immediately appealing village compositions in the whole of the Chilterns, its combination of medieval church tower, village pond and clustered domestic buildings providing precisely the vision of English village life at its most quintessentially and most completely itself that visitors from across the country and across the world arrive seeking and almost invariably find in full and generous measure.

Photobooth4all brings warm, professional and excellent quality magic mirror photo booth hire to every Chalfont St Giles celebration — wedding receptions at the village’s quality venues and the surrounding Chilterns country houses and converted barn venues, milestone birthday parties in the village pub and community facilities, community fundraisers, anniversary celebrations, christenings and private home gatherings throughout this beautiful, literarily significant and warmly community-spirited Chilterns village and its surrounding communities of Chalfont St Peter, Little Chalfont, Jordans, Seer Green, Amersham and the wider Chiltern District.

Chalfont St Giles: Milton’s Cottage, the Chilterns and a Village of Two Worlds

Milton’s Cottage — A Literary Shrine of World Significance

John Milton’s Cottage in Chalfont St Giles — the modest, beautifully preserved 16th-century flint-and-brick cottage on Dean Way to which the blind poet was brought by his pupil Thomas Ellwood in the summer of 1665 to escape the Great Plague ravaging London, and in which he completed the final version of Paradise Lost — is one of the most significant, most personally moving and most culturally important literary heritage buildings in the whole of England, its rooms, its period furnishings and its cottage garden maintained with extraordinary care as a museum of genuine scholarly quality and deep emotional resonance by the Milton’s Cottage Trust.

Paradise Lost — the twelve-book epic in blank verse of extraordinary musical and imaginative power, its account of the fall of Lucifer, the creation of Hell and Earth and the temptation and fall of Adam and Eve drawing on the full resources of classical learning, biblical scholarship and Milton’s own formidable poetic intelligence in a work that Samuel Johnson called the greatest poem in the English language and that has occupied the central position in the canon of English epic poetry without serious challenge since its first publication in 1667 — was completed in this small Buckinghamshire cottage by a blind man in his mid-fifties who dictated its verses to his daughters and amanuenses in a creative act of quite extraordinary intellectual determination and artistic courage. To stand in the small parlour where Milton dictated, or to sit in the garden where Ellwood is said to have sat with the completed manuscript and where he made the remark that prompted the composition of Paradise Regained, is to experience a connection to the deepest traditions of English literary achievement with a directness and an immediacy that no museum of comparable national importance surpasses.

The Chiltern Open Air Museum and the Village Community

The Chiltern Open Air Museum at Newland Park — its collection of historic Buckinghamshire and Chilterns vernacular buildings rescued from demolition sites across the region and carefully re-erected on the museum’s 45-acre site, including a Victorian farm with its associated barns and outbuildings, an 18th-century granary, a medieval merchant’s house from Didcot, a Victorian iron prefabricated chapel, a 1940s prefab bungalow and the full range of vernacular building types that characterise the Chilterns landscape across five centuries of domestic and agricultural building — provides a heritage experience of considerable educational quality, genuine community importance and real personal charm, its open-air setting, its animals, its demonstration programme and the atmospheric completeness of its reconstructed historic environments creating a visitor experience of exceptional family appeal and historical substance.

The village church of St Giles — its flint and stone fabric of Norman origin extended and modified through the medieval period and subsequently, its interior preserving medieval wall paintings of considerable quality and rarity, a fine Jacobean pulpit and the accumulated devotional furnishings of centuries of continuous parish life in a building of genuine architectural character and deep historical feeling — stands at the heart of the village in the most directly meaningful sense, its churchyard providing the setting for community occasions of the most significant personal kind throughout the year.

The White Hart pub in the village centre — its period building of considerable charm providing the hospitality hub around which Chalfont St Giles’s community social life organises itself with comfortable regularity — alongside the village hall, the community facilities and the full range of quality Chilterns country house and rural venues accessible from this beautifully situated village complete the celebration infrastructure of a community that marks its occasions with genuine warmth, quality consciousness and the particular care of a village that values its community life with real and consistently demonstrated conviction.
