Photo Booth Hire Prices in Kent (2026)
Kent pricing includes a travel supplement from our South Woodham Ferrers base — this covers the M25, Dartford Crossing, and fuel. It is a flat addition per zone, confirmed in your quote before you book. There are no post-event invoice surprises.
| Booth | West Kent | East Kent |
|---|---|---|
| 360° Slow Motion (2h) | from £320 | from £340 |
| Glam Vintage (2h) | from £320 | from £340 |
| Selfie Pod (3h) | from £240 | from £260 |
West Kent: Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Dartford. East Kent: Canterbury, Folkestone, Whitstable, Faversham. Exact supplement confirmed at quote stage.
For a Kent wedding or milestone birthday of 80 guests, the 360° package from £320 works out at £4 per guest — for a fully operated slow-motion video entertainment experience, with a dedicated attendant running the show from setup to final bow. For a broader picture of how Kent pricing sits in the national market, our photo booth hire cost guide covers what you should expect to pay across the UK and what to look out for when a quote looks suspiciously cheap.
360°, Glam Vintage or Selfie Pod — Which Suits Your Kent Event?
The main thing that distinguishes FunLoading360 from most Kent competitors is the 360° Slow Motion booth — a camera arm that sweeps around guests on a platform, producing slow-motion video clips that guests share to Instagram and TikTok before the night is over. Most local providers do not offer it. Here is how all three booth types map to Kent event types:
| Event type | Best booth | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Wedding (barn or manor) | Glam Vintage | Printed strips suit barn and heritage aesthetics perfectly |
| Wedding (hotel or castle) | 360° or Glam Vintage | Larger floor plans accommodate the 360° platform |
| Birthday (large) | 360° Slow Motion | High energy, shareable video — guests queue all night |
| Hen party | 360° or Glam Vintage | Social content for the 360°; printed keepsakes for Glam |
| Corporate event | 360° or Selfie Pod | Branded overlay; 360° for impact, Pod for tight spaces |
| Intimate party (<50 guests) | Selfie Pod | Compact footprint (1.5m × 1.5m); lower price point |
The 360° platform needs approximately 3m × 3m of clear floor space and 2.5m ceiling clearance. The Glam Vintage booth and Selfie Pod each need around 2m × 2m — suitable for most Kent function rooms and barn spaces. If you want a side-by-side breakdown of the outputs, tech specs, and use cases, our comparison guide covers all three in detail. For a deep dive specifically into the Glam Vintage booth for Kent's barn and country-house venues, our vintage photo booth hire Kent guide goes into the aesthetic and logistical detail.
Kent Venues We Know Well
Kent's event venue landscape is exceptionally varied — medieval castles, oast houses, Georgian manor estates, coastal hotel ballrooms, and working farm barns converted for weddings. We know many of these spaces directly. Here is how each venue type works in practice.
Leeds Castle
One of Kent's most iconic wedding and event venues. The function spaces within the castle grounds include the Maiden's Tower and the Henry VIII Banqueting Hall — both with specific access and setup requirements. We arrange site access confirmation 48 hours before the event, submit PLI and PAT documentation to the castle events team in advance, and are familiar with the equipment routes. For events here, the Glam Vintage booth is the most practical choice given the historic interior dimensions.
Hempstead House Hotel
A multi-award winning wedding venue in Bapchild, near Sittingbourne — one of the most consistently booked wedding venues in North Kent. The main function room comfortably accommodates either the 360° or Glam Vintage booth. Access is straightforward and the events team are well-organised with supplier logistics.
Larkfield Priory Hotel and Boughton Monchelsea Place
Larkfield Priory near Maidstone has formal function suites with reliable power and good access — both the 360° and Glam Vintage booth work well here. Boughton Monchelsea Place, a Weald of Kent Elizabethan manor house, is the kind of heritage venue where the Glam Vintage booth genuinely complements the surroundings rather than competing with them.
Whitstable Castle
A coastal Kent wedding venue in Whitstable's Castle grounds, popular for intimate ceremonies and evening receptions. The Selfie Pod is well suited to the more compact function spaces; for larger evening receptions in the Great Hall, the Glam Vintage booth is the natural choice.
“Professional, friendly, and incredibly talented team. The photo booth added such a fun element to our celebration. Thank you, FunLoading360!”

Getting to Kent — Dartford Crossing & Travel Logistics
We are based in South Woodham Ferrers (CM3), Essex. Getting to Kent means crossing via the M25 and the Dartford Crossing — a route we make regularly for Kent events. Here is what that means for you practically.
What the Kent supplement covers:
- Extended drive time from Essex to your Kent venue
- Dartford Crossing charge (DART Charge, applied to all crossings)
- Fuel to and from the venue
- Standard venue parking where applicable
West Kent venues — Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Dartford, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells — are around 60 minutes from our base. Canterbury and East Kent venues are approximately 80 to 90 minutes. We build both directions into our departure times so we always arrive within your venue's setup window. You do not need to manage any of this logistics coordination.
For context on how our Kent pricing compares to Essex and London rates, our Essex photo booth guide covers base pricing, and our London photo booth guide covers the London supplement structure separately.

Every Event Type We Cover in Kent
Weddings
Kent's wedding venue landscape — Leeds Castle, Hempstead House, Boughton Monchelsea Place, oast barns throughout the Weald — is particularly well suited to the Glam Vintage booth. The printed strip keepsake fits perfectly with the county's mix of heritage and rural settings. For a detailed guide to barn and manor weddings specifically, our vintage photo booth hire Kent guide covers the aesthetic and practical considerations in full. For wedding photo booth hire across Essex, see our Essex wedding guide.
Milestone birthdays
30th, 40th, 50th, 60th — Kent hotel function rooms and private venue hire spaces are popular for milestone celebrations. The 360° Slow Motion booth is the most-requested option for these events; the video clip format produces the kind of content guests share and keep for years. Full detail in our birthday photo booth guide.
Hen parties
Kent has a growing private hire scene for hen parties — hotel suites, spa venue packages, private dining rooms. The 360° booth and Glam Vintage booth are both popular choices; the printed strip from the Glam Vintage is particularly well-suited for hen parties where guests want a physical keepsake of the night. See our hen party photo booth guide for prop ideas, booth selection, and timing.
Corporate events
Kent has a significant corporate events market — particularly in Maidstone, Dartford, and the M20 corridor. Branded overlays, instant digital delivery, and the 360° booth's visual impact make it a strong addition to product launches, team away-days, and client hospitality events. Our corporate photo booth guide covers branding, lead capture, and compliance documentation in full.
School proms
Kent hotel ballrooms and conference venues are a common choice for sixth form balls and school proms. The 360° Slow Motion booth consistently produces the most-shared content at prom events. Full guide at our school prom photo booth guide.

Frequently Asked Questions — Kent
How much does photo booth hire in Kent cost?
FunLoading360 Kent packages start from £320 for a 2-hour 360° Slow Motion or Glam Vintage booth at Maidstone and West Kent venues, and from £340 at Canterbury and East Kent venues. The Selfie Pod starts from £240 in West Kent. All prices include travel from our South Woodham Ferrers base and Dartford Crossing costs. There are no post-event extras.
Can you set up at Leeds Castle?
Yes. Leeds Castle is one of our regular Kent venues. We arrange site access 48 hours in advance, submit PLI and PAT documentation to the events team, and are familiar with the setup areas across the castle's function spaces. Confirm the specific room when you enquire and we will advise on booth suitability.
Is the Dartford Crossing charge included in the price?
Yes. Travel from our Essex base via the M25 and Dartford Crossing is factored into the Kent supplement — there is no separate crossing charge on your invoice. What we quote is what you pay.
How far in advance should I book a photo booth for a Kent event?
For peak-season Saturday events between May and September, 6 to 8 weeks ahead is comfortable for most event types. Kent wedding receptions at popular venues such as Leeds Castle or Hempstead House Hotel book faster — 3 to 6 months is more realistic for those. A 15% deposit holds your date; the balance is due 14 days before the event.
Does a FunLoading360 attendant stay for the whole event?
Yes — from setup to pack-down. Our operator engages your guests, keeps the queue moving, handles any technical matters, and packs down after the event. This is not a drop-off service. It is included in the package price at no extra charge.
