Welcome to Hatfield Magic Mirror Photo Booth Hire

Professional Magic Mirror Photo Booth Hire for Every Hatfield Celebration

Hatfield is one of Hertfordshire’s most historically extraordinary, most architecturally rewarding and most energetically forward-looking towns — a community of remarkable contrasts and genuine depth whose identity spans the full arc from the earliest Tudor royal history to the pioneering achievements of British aviation in the 20th century, from the Jacobean magnificence of one of England’s greatest country houses to the contemporary intellectual energy of a major university campus, from the quiet lanes and ancient parkland of the old palace estate to the retail and commercial activity of a substantial modern Hertfordshire town whose excellent transport connections and quality community infrastructure attract residents and businesses of considerable ambition and genuine quality.

Few English towns of comparable size can claim as their immediate heritage both the childhood home of Elizabeth I and the birthplace of the world’s first commercial jet airliner — yet Hatfield holds both of these distinctions with the comfortable, understated confidence of a community that understands precisely how extraordinary its own story is and feels no particular need to advertise it beyond the evidence of the buildings, the institutions and the landscape that embody it with such immediate and overwhelming force.

Hatfield’s position in Hertfordshire — its excellent road connections at Junction 4 of the A1(M) motorway providing rapid access to central London in under 30 miles, its direct fast rail services to London King’s Cross and London Moorgate via Thameslink and Great Northern in under 25 minutes, its proximity to Luton Airport, Stansted Airport and the full range of Home Counties destinations via the motorway network — makes it one of the most practically well-connected and most genuinely convenient residential and commercial locations in the whole of the eastern Home Counties, and the quality of its schools, its cultural facilities and its natural environment reflects the investment that a community of its calibre and ambition makes in its own collective quality of life across every dimension of its civic existence.

Photobooth4all is proud to bring professional, warm and excellent quality magic mirror photo booth hire to every Hatfield celebration — wedding receptions at the magnificent Hatfield House estate and the surrounding Hertfordshire country houses and quality hotels, landmark milestone birthday parties in the town’s restaurants, function rooms and community establishments, University of Hertfordshire graduation celebrations of considerable personal and family significance, school proms from Hatfield Community Free School, Countess Anne Church of England School, Birchwood Avenue Secondary School and the area’s further secondary schools, corporate events at Hatfield’s commercial venues, community fundraisers, anniversary celebrations, christenings and private home gatherings throughout this historically magnificent and energetically contemporary Hertfordshire town and its surrounding communities of Welwyn Garden City, Welham Green, Essendon, Brookmans Park, Little Berkhamsted and the wider Welwyn Hatfield District.

Hatfield: Hatfield House, The Comet and a Town of Two Extraordinary Histories

Hatfield House — The Greatest Jacobean House in England

Hatfield House — the magnificent Jacobean country house constructed between 1607 and 1611 for Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury and Lord High Treasurer and Principal Secretary of State to King James I, on the site of the earlier Royal Palace of Hatfield where Princess Elizabeth spent the most formative years of her childhood and where she received the news of her accession to the English throne as Queen Elizabeth I on 17th November 1558 — is by any honest architectural and historical assessment one of the greatest, most completely intact and most immediately overwhelming Jacobean country houses in the whole of England, its south front of warm red brick with stone dressings, its great mullioned and transomed windows, its central clock tower of considerable decorative authority and the overall composition of its principal facades creating an effect of architectural grandeur and period magnificence that stops visitors in their tracks with a combination of scale, colour and confident structural quality that the early 17th century could produce at its very finest and most fully realised.

The house’s interior is an experience of accumulated historical and artistic wealth that rewards every successive visit with new discoveries and deepening appreciation — the Marble Hall with its magnificent proportions, its carved screen and its atmosphere of formal Jacobean state ceremonial; the Grand Staircase with its carved wooden newel posts, its panels of extraordinary quality and the full three-dimensional virtuosity of early 17th-century English woodcarving at its most accomplished and most self-assured; the State Rooms with their collections of portraits by Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger, John de Critz and other court painters of the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods, their tapestries, their historic furniture and the extraordinary personal objects including Elizabeth I’s garden hat and her silk stockings that connect visitors with immediate and overwhelming intimacy to the woman who spent her childhood in the palace that stood here before Cecil’s great house was built.

The Old Palace — the surviving wing of the original brick palace of circa 1497 where Henry VIII housed Catherine of Aragon, where Mary was effectively imprisoned during Edward VI’s reign and where Elizabeth spent her formative years reading, studying languages and developing the extraordinary intellectual equipment that would serve her so well across 45 years of one of the most demanding and most consequential reigns in English history — stands adjacent to the Jacobean house as a structure of direct, personal, intimate historical connection to the most extraordinary Tudor royal story.

It was under the oak tree in the park — the site now marked — that the 25-year-old Elizabeth received news of her half-sister Mary’s death and her own accession, reportedly quoting the 118th Psalm: “This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.” The oak tree is gone but the park, the palace wing and the atmosphere of that November morning in 1558 remain in this Hertfordshire landscape with remarkable persistence and emotional force.

The de Havilland Comet — The World’s First Commercial Jet Airliner

The de Havilland Aircraft Company’s Hatfield works — established at the Hatfield Aerodrome site from the 1930s onward and responsible for producing some of the most technically distinguished and most historically consequential aircraft in British aviation history — gave Hatfield its second and entirely distinct dimension of extraordinary national significance in the post-war decades.

The de Havilland Mosquito — the remarkable twin-engined wooden aircraft of the Second World War, its combination of exceptional speed, considerable range and operational versatility making it one of the most effective and most admired aircraft of the entire conflict — was designed and built at Hatfield, and the test pilots and engineers who worked at the aerodrome during the war years left a legacy of technical achievement and professional courage of the very highest order.

The de Havilland Comet — the world’s first commercial jet airliner, its development at Hatfield representing the culmination of years of research and engineering investment by the de Havilland team, its maiden flight from Hatfield Aerodrome on 27th July 1949 marking the moment at which the jet age of commercial aviation formally began — is the single most consequential aeronautical achievement associated with the town, a moment of British engineering innovation whose global implications in terms of the subsequent transformation of international travel, commerce and human connection across the second half of the 20th century are simply impossible to overstate.

The first Comet entered commercial service with BOAC in May 1952, inaugurating the world’s first scheduled jet passenger service from London to Johannesburg, and the image of a jet airliner bearing the de Havilland name and built in a Hertfordshire field taking to the skies for the first time on a July morning in 1949 remains one of the most powerful and most personally moving moments in the entire history of British industrial and engineering achievement.

The de Havilland Aircraft Museum at Salisbury Hall nearby — the only museum in the world dedicated to the de Havilland Aircraft Company, its collections including the Mosquito prototype, a Comet airframe, a Vampire and the extraordinary full breadth of de Havilland aircraft history — provides the Hatfield area with a heritage attraction of genuine national importance and considerable personal emotional resonance for anyone who understands what was achieved here in the most extraordinary decades of British aviation.

The University of Hertfordshire and Contemporary Hatfield

The University of Hertfordshire — its de Havilland Campus occupying the former aerodrome site in a development of considerable scale and genuine architectural ambition, its College Lane Campus providing further academic and residential facilities of substantial quality, its student population of over 25,000 drawn from across the United Kingdom and from more than 100 countries worldwide — is one of the defining features of contemporary Hatfield’s character and one of the most important contributors to its cultural, social and economic vitality. The university’s graduation ceremonies — held with appropriate formality and considerable personal significance in ceremonies that mark the culmination of years of study and personal investment for students and their families from every cultural and national background — are among the most emotionally powerful and most joyfully celebratory occasions in Hatfield’s annual calendar, and Photobooth4all serves these events with the premium specification, the multilingual print design capability and the inclusive, warmly professional approach that every graduating student and every proud family deserves.

The Galleria shopping and leisure development on the former aerodrome site, the quality hotels and conference facilities throughout the Welwyn Hatfield area including the Beales Hotel and Spa at Hatfield, the Fielder Centre at the university, the Hatfield House estate’s own event infrastructure offering wedding reception facilities of quite extraordinary prestige in one of England’s greatest country houses, quality restaurants and established pubs throughout the old town and the new town areas, community halls throughout the residential neighbourhoods and private homes across Hatfield’s varied and well-established residential landscape complete a celebration infrastructure of remarkable breadth, genuine practical capability and considerable prestige.
