Facilities & Equipment Hire

Big Shed photographic hire studio aims to make sure your shoots run as efficiently as possible whilst also being an enjoyable experience.

We have a great location, large free car park (enough for cars, generators and catering vehicles all at once), large drive in access door, 2 studios with infinity coves – a unique overhead shot facility and lots more.

There are fully fitted kitchens for food shots or catering, a “green” room for meetings (or just to chill). And of course we have WiFi internet access as well as Macs should you need them.

Big Shed can arrange most things for you, from models, stylist and make-up to props, set building and accommodation – all you have to do is ask. Big Shed holds extensive lighting, photographic and general equipment detailed below, all available for hire, please call for rates.

We can also arrange outside hiring of your required equipment list.
