Magic Mirror Hire at Preston College Apprentice Awards

What a brilliant evening it was at Preston College on 26th March 2026. The Exceptional Apprentice and Employer Awards brought together some truly deserving people to celebrate hard work, dedication and achievement, and we were absolutely thrilled to be part of it.

A Prestigious Evening at Preston College

Preston College is a well-respected institution in the heart of Lancashire, and it proved to be a fantastic setting for a corporate awards ceremony of this calibre. Events like apprentice and employer awards carry real weight; they recognise people who have gone above and beyond, and the venue matched that significance perfectly.

A space like Preston College gives corporate events a sense of occasion. Guests arrived knowing this was a proper celebration, and the atmosphere from the start reflected that.

Our Magic Mirror Setup on the Night

For this event, we brought along our popular Magic Mirror, and it was the perfect fit for a corporate awards evening. The Mirror has that wow factor that gets people talking, and with a red carpet, ropes and silver stanchions in place, the whole setup looked genuinely impressive as guests arrived.

The red carpet and stanchions added a real sense of glamour to the occasion. Awards nights deserve that VIP treatment, and it helped set the tone for the whole evening before anyone had even stepped up to collect their award.

What Was Included on the Night

• Magic Mirror with full interactive touchscreen experience
• Red Carpet, Ropes and Silver Stanchions for that VIP arrival feel
• Bespoke print design tailored to the Preston College awards branding
• A choice of hundreds of print templates
• Fun prop box to keep guests entertained throughout the evening
• One print per use (with upgrade options available)
• Unlimited visits throughout the hire period
• Accommodates four or more guests at once, ideal for group shots
• Online gallery and a download link with high quality digital copies
• Friendly, professional attendant on hand all evening
• Full setup and takedown handled by our team
• One hour early setup to ensure everything was ready before guests arrived
• No backdrop required, keeping the setup clean and flexible
• Full PLI and insurance certificates provided

Having a bespoke print design meant every photo strip that came out of the Mirror felt specific to the night. Guests walked away with a keepsake that actually meant something, rather than a generic printout. That personal touch matters at corporate events, especially ones celebrating individual achievement.

A Night Worth Remembering

The Magic Mirror was busy throughout the evening, with colleagues, apprentices and employers all getting involved. There is something about a Magic Mirror that breaks the ice at corporate events; once a few people jump in, it quickly becomes one of the highlights of the night.

The prop box always gets a laugh too. Even at a formal awards ceremony, people enjoy the chance to let their hair down a little, and the props gave guests the perfect excuse to do just that.
