Welcome to Lewes Magic Mirror Photo Booth Hire

Outstanding Magic Mirror Photo Booth Hire for Every Lewes Celebration

Lewes is one of England’s most intellectually spirited, most historically profound and most genuinely characterful county towns — the administrative capital of East Sussex, a community where the ancient flint-walled buildings of the medieval town centre, the Norman castle ruins rising above the rooftops of the High Street with casual medieval authority, the fiercely maintained independent commercial character of the town’s bookshops, galleries and restaurants, the Harvey’s Brewery Victorian tower rising from the banks of the Ouse to produce ales of exceptional quality and considerable regional devotion, and the extraordinary annual Bonfire Night celebrations that transform this compact and confident county town into the most spectacularly festive, most emotionally intense and most visually overwhelming public community event in the entire English calendar come together to create a community of such remarkable depth, civic self-confidence and individual character that adequate comparison with any other English county town of comparable size is effectively impossible.

Lewes is genuinely, comprehensively and without serious challenge its own thing — a place so distinctively itself, so fiercely committed to its own identity and so richly rewarded by the quality of the community that identity has created, that it functions as a standing argument for the vitality and continuing relevance of English provincial character simply by being what it is with such complete conviction.

Photobooth4all is delighted to bring professional, warm and excellent magic mirror photo booth hire to every Lewes celebration — weddings at the town’s quality venues and surrounding East Sussex country houses, landmark milestone birthday parties in the town’s quality pubs and restaurants, charity events associated with the Bonfire Societies and community organisations, school proms from Lewes’s quality schools, corporate gatherings, anniversary celebrations, community fundraisers, christenings and private home gatherings throughout this extraordinary and deeply loved East Sussex county town.

Lewes: Bonfire Night, the Castle and the Spirit of Proud Sussex Independence

Lewes Bonfire Night — England’s Most Extraordinary Community Celebration

The origins of Lewes Bonfire Night reach deeper and carry heavier historical freight than the simply conventional commemoration of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 that marks the 5th of November in the rest of England. In Lewes the night carries the additional and far more solemn weight of commemorating the seventeen Protestant martyrs of the Marian persecution — men, women and one teenage boy burned at the stake in the town’s market place between 1555 and 1557 on the orders of the religious authorities acting under Queen Mary I’s direction, their deaths witnessed by their neighbours, their families and their friends in acts of judicial murder whose horror and injustice Lewes has refused, for nearly five centuries, to allow to fade from its collective memory.

The six Bonfire Societies — Cliffe (the oldest, most historically rooted and most austerely traditional), Borough, Commercial Square, Lewes, Waterloo and South Street — each parade through the town on the night carrying flaming torches and burning wooden crosses in the martyrs’ memory, in their own distinctive costumes (ranging from the smugglers’ outfits of the Waterloo Society through the Zulu warriors of the Borough Society to the elaborate historical and satirical costumes of the Commercial Square), and the procession of thousands of torch-bearing participants through the medieval streets, with the roar of thunderflashes, the smell of burning wood and the extraordinary spectacle of six competing societies all active simultaneously in the same compact town, creates an atmosphere of communal intensity and shared historical consciousness that no other event in the English calendar approaches.

The bonfire sites — each society’s own outdoor firework and bonfire celebration held on their respective sites across the town following the procession — bring the evening to a conclusion of considerable pyrotechnic ambition, and the entire event draws between 70,000 and 80,000 visitors to a town of 17,000 in an evening that requires extensive road closures, substantial policing and stewardship, and the wholehearted commitment of an entire community acting in remarkable voluntary coordination.

Lewes Bonfire Night is not merely an event — it is an act of civic self-definition, a statement of community identity and a demonstration of what a small English town is capable of when it chooses to remember, to celebrate and to take genuine collective pride in who it is and where it comes from.

Harvey’s Brewery and the Character of the Town

Harvey’s Brewery — occupying its site on the banks of the River Ouse in Cliffe continuously since 1790 and operating in the current Victorian tower building since 1880 — produces in its Sussex Best Bitter, its Elizabethan Barleywine, its Old Ale, its seasonal releases and its full range of bottled beers a portfolio of traditional English brewing of outstanding quality, its products stocked across hundreds of public houses, independent retailers and restaurants throughout the South East and increasingly distributed nationally to the growing community of Harvey’s devotees who regard the brewery’s commitment to traditional methods, local ingredients and consistent quality as a model of what regional craft production at its finest looks like.

The brewery’s Victorian tower, its copper-domed brewhouse, its warm hop-perfumed surroundings and its prominent position below the town bridge constitute a community institution of considerable emotional significance — a symbol of Lewes’s economic independence, its brewing heritage and its determination to protect its distinctive character against the homogenising pressures of national and international commerce.

Lewes Castle — managed by the Sussex Archaeological Society — provides panoramic views across the Ouse valley and South Downs from its shell keep battlements. The Depot cinema and arts complex, quality restaurants along the High Street and Cliffe High Street, the town’s celebrated independent bookshops, the Riverside Centre and the Phoenix Arts Centre provide a cultural infrastructure of genuine quality for a town of Lewes’s size and ambition.
