PERSONAL PHOTOSHOOTS

Looking to capture beautiful shots of an engagement, proposal, or a wedding? Maybe you’re a cosplayer in search of a great setting for images, or a location for new photos in support of your personal brand?

This activity is categorised by the Gardens as a personal, or non-commercial, photoshoot. We’ll be happy to host. Here are some important things to know in advance, with costs outlined below:

  • Payment terms for photoshoots are different to day admission tickets. See details below.
  • We strongly advise booking in advance, with 48 notice hours in advance of your proposed photoshoots required. We will provide a booking form which will tell you everything you need to know. Booking ahead is the best way to avoid disappointment on your group’s special day!
  • Last entry into the Gardens for photoshoots is 2 hours before closing. Please check our opening times when arranging.
  • Photoshoots must finish 30 minutes before the Gardens closing time.
  • Photoshoots must take place during our opening hours and do not include any exclusive use of the Gardens, or priority over areas unless specifically arranged. This may involve additional costs.
