Festivals of Light: How to Make Your Event Shine Brighter This Season
Each year, as the nights draw in across Scotland and the UK, the world lights up in celebration. From the radiant lanterns of Diwali to the warm glow of Hanukkah and the vibrant unity of Kwanzaa, these global Festivals of Light symbolise hope, renewal and togetherness — values that connect communities, colleagues and families alike.
Whether you’re planning a corporate celebration, a community event, or a private gathering, there’s no better way to capture the energy and spirit of the season than through a truly interactive experience. At Social Jungle, we help brands and hosts bring these moments to life with digital photo booth hire in Scotland — designed to engage, entertain and illuminate.
Lighting up every celebration
Across the UK, more brands, councils and event planners are embracing celebrations beyond Christmas, recognising that inclusive events reflect the diversity and creativity of modern audiences.
For individuals, these festivals offer a unique opportunity to gather friends and family in meaningful, joyful ways.
Our digital photo booths blend creativity and technology, transforming every image into a shareable story — perfect for both professional activations and private parties.
Branded moments that shine
Every photo, GIF or Boomerang is captured with your unique identity — your logo, event message or campaign artwork seamlessly integrated. Whether it’s a corporate brand logo or a family monogram, each image becomes part of your event’s storytelling.
The result? When guests share their photos online, they share your brand or theme, extending your visibility far beyond the venue.

Immersive backgrounds — real or virtual
With AI Green Screen technology, guests can be virtually transported anywhere — a glowing Diwali marketplace, a snowy Hanukkah celebration, or a vibrant Kwanzaa gathering.
Prefer something tactile? Choose from our curated backdrop rental collection, or let us design a bespoke branded backdrop to match your theme perfectly.
Every background becomes a scene — a photo that tells a story, not just captures a moment. Learn more about our Green Screen Activations to see how imagination meets innovation.
Instant sharing and keepsake prints
Guests can instantly share their photos via text or email, or access them through a branded microsite with your logo and links — turning every share into organic promotion.
And for those who love something tangible, our optional instant printouts provide a beautiful keepsake: ideal for corporate giveaways, wedding favours, or community celebrations.
This seamless blend of digital and physical engagement keeps guests smiling — and your event unforgettable.
Capture engagement and insights
Our booths can also capture valuable guest data (fully GDPR-compliant), making them ideal for corporate events, brand activations, or public experiences.
You’ll receive measurable insights while offering participants something fun and memorable — the perfect mix of entertainment and strategy.
Smart AI facial recognition sharing
For multi-day events or returning guests, our AI facial recognition feature makes sharing effortless. Guests take one quick selfie to register, select their preferred delivery method, and every time they use the booth again, their photos are automatically recognised and sent directly to them.
This smooth, contact-free process delights guests, reduces queues, and keeps engagement levels high — whether at a corporate roadshow, wedding weekend or festival activation.
Cutting-edge AI face recognition technology to make content sharing quicker and easier.
Various ways to share your content, including via email and text message (shown above).
Our team uses various design tools to ensure you booth is exactly how you want it.
Sleek and compact, our photo booths are ideal for any event in any venue.
Personalisation, fun and post-event value
From shimmering filters to digital props inspired by each festival, every photo can be personalised to reflect your event’s personality.
Afterwards, our team compiles all captured content into your private Dropbox folder — ready for download, sharing or repurposing for future campaigns.
You can explore examples of this in Our Work.
