May's 80th Birthday at Lea Club Preston – Selfie Pod Recap

Milestone birthdays deserve something special, and May's 80th was no exception. We were thrilled to be part of the celebrations at Lea Club in Preston, bringing along our Selfie Pod to keep the memories flowing all evening long.

A Brilliant Venue for a Big Occasion

Lea Club in Preston is a genuinely versatile space that suits a celebration of this kind perfectly. The function rooms are spacious enough to accommodate a good-sized crowd without feeling overwhelming, and the layout made it easy for us to set up in a spot where guests could find us throughout the night.

It handles everything from smaller family gatherings to large parties with real ease, which is exactly what you want when you're bringing together friends and family across multiple generations for an 80th birthday.

Our Selfie Pod at May's 80th

We set up our Selfie Pod and it was a hit from the very first use. Whether guests were 8 or 80, they had no trouble getting involved, and that's one of the things we love most about the Selfie Pod – it's intuitive, fun, and accessible for absolutely everyone.

With unlimited visits throughout the evening, guests kept coming back for more. Groups, couples, solo shots – the variety was brilliant, and the prop box gave people plenty of ways to make each visit feel a little different to the last.

What Was Included on the Night

  • Selfie Pod with unlimited visits all evening
  • A choice of hundreds of print templates to suit the occasion
  • Two prints per use, so everyone walked away with a keepsake
  • Fun prop box to get the laughs going
  • Free prop basket (with a refundable deposit)
  • No backdrop required, keeping things clean and simple
  • Standard photo guest book, filled with prints and messages
  • Online gallery with high quality digital copies
  • Download link so guests could grab their favourites
  • Full setup and takedown handled by our team

The photo guest book was a lovely touch for an event like this. Guests could stick in their prints and leave a personal message for May alongside them, creating something she'll be able to look back on for years to come.

288 Brilliant Moments Captured

By the end of the night, we'd racked up 288 photos across the session. That's 288 smiles, laughs, and memories from a night that clearly meant a great deal to everyone in that room.

You can browse the full collection over in our public gallery. Take a look at May's 80th gallery here and see the fun for yourself.

Why a Selfie Pod Works So Well for Milestone Birthdays

An 80th birthday brings together people of all ages, and you need entertainment that works for the whole room. The Selfie Pod does exactly that. It's easy to use, produces brilliant quality prints on the spot, and gives guests a tangible memory to take home at the end of the night.

Combined with the online gallery and download link, guests who couldn't make it on the night could still feel connected to the celebration by browsing the photos afterwards. It's a small detail that makes a real difference.
