Photography in The Confetti Fields

The Confetti Field will return in late June / early July 2024.

Please follow us on social media to get all the updates – Facebook & Instagram

Please note that we only open for a few days when we think the flowers will be in full bloom. This is because the flowers only bloom for a short time – you cannot visit us out of season simply because there are no flowers!

We are very happy for people to take photos for non-commercial purposes. Whether you want some lovely family photos or you enjoy playing around at close up macro work on the flowers…

Most importantly – you do not need to purchase an additional photography pass if your pictures are for your own personal use.

Commercial Photography

Anyone who would like to use our Flower Fields for commercial purposes must register with us and purchase a Location Pass for each day you wish to use the field. This includes, for example: shoots with clients (e.g. family photoshoots or engagement pictures), portfolio work, photography you will use to promote yourself, your skills and services online, on your business social media or on your professional blog.

If you would like to use the fields for larger projects and shoots you need to give us a call to discuss your plans and requirements. This includes, for instance: a product or fashion shoot, classes/courses, television/movie filming, or other media projects. Any project that has the potential to disrupt the usual atmosphere of the flower field or impact upon the experience of our visitors will need to be booked as a Private Hire. Access outside of our opening dates and times is strictly by prior arrangement and subject to availability. Please email nancy@confettidirect.co.uk to register your interest.

In short – any and all photography used to promote you and/or your business is considered commercial. A Location Pass/Private Hire is required.

Location Pass

Cost 2023: £49.00 per person per day.

Each day pass that you buy will allow you entry to the field ALL DAY – between 10am & 5pm. (Except for the Evening Opening Session, which allows access from 6pm to 8.30pm on Thursday 6th July only)

Please remember your clients will also need to pre-book their admission.

Please read the full Terms & Conditions at the bottom of this page.

Need to Know:

  • You must buy a Professional Photography Pass online in advance of your visit or you will be charged double at the gate.
  • Your clients must buy their admission from our website in advance. Please DO NOT buy admission for them – they will need their own tickets to enter the field. Admission will be sold with timed arrival slots throughout the day. Starting from 10am through until 3pm and the field will close at 5pm.
  • Tickets will be checked in your car.
  • Car parking is free.
  • There will be a dedicated meeting point inside the flower field for you to meet up with your clients.
  • There is no smoking or vaping allowed in the flower field or on any of our surrounding land.
  • Sorry – no pets of any kind are allowed.
  • Drones and any other remotely controlled aircraft are not allowed in the flower field or over any part of the Wyke Manor Estate.
  • There is strictly no access to any of our surrounding fields.

Private Hire

Cost: dependant on the size and scope of your plans.

Lifestyle, Fashion, Dance & Product Shoots are not allowed during the public open days. There is only a small window of opportunity to use the flower field around these dates and therefore access is strictly by prior arrangement and subject to availability. Please email nancy@confettidirect.co.uk with an outline of your project and we can discuss availability and costings.

If you are interested in running classes/courses in the flower field, again, please get in touch with an outline of your wishes and we can discuss the possibilities: nancy@confettidirect.co.uk

Media/television/filming projects – please remember that flowers only bloom for a very short period of time, and therefore we sadly cannot accommodate requests out of season! Please contact Nancy to talk through your ideas.

Helpful information to assist Professional Photographers planning Photo Shoots:

The entry slots at 10am, 11am and 2pm on the weekends are usually our busiest times. Consequently, please keep this in mind when making plans with your clients. We do not recommend that you start your bookings at 10am as it will take time for you and your clients to get in and meet up.

We recommend that you ask your clients to book their admission tickets BEFORE you buy your Pass. Therefore, if a particular entry slot has sold out, you can make alternative arrangements. To make this easier for you, a Photography Location Pass allows you entry to the field ALL DAY – between 10am & 5pm. Photography Passes will not sell out, so there is no need to worry about availability.

A Photographer’s Location Pass gives you, the photographer (1 person), access to the field during opening hours on your chosen date/dates as printed on the purchased pass/passes. If you work as a photography team, each photographer/assistant needs their own pass.

We are open to the public from 10am – 5pm. There is NO ACCESS outside of these times.

There is NO ACCESS to any surrounding fields.

We will set up a dedicated Photographer’s Meeting Point inside the field – this is the best place for you to arrange to meet with your clients.

Please remember:

Passes are transferable but not refundable. If you wish to change the date on your pass, please call us on 01386 555045 with at least 24h notice.

This is an outdoor event in the British summertime – please discuss this with your clients and prepare accordingly. We cannot guarantee the sunshine! If it is just a little rain we will generally be open as usual, so we would encourage you and your clients to wear wellies and bring colourful umbrellas for an equally fab photo opportunity! However, if you do want to transfer your pass to an alternative day, you must telephone us at least 24h beforehand to re-book your pass/es.

Extreme weather conditions may mean that we must close the field on the day you are booked to visit. If this occurs we will call you at the earliest opportunity. You will receive a refund for any pass valid on that day.
