Everyone knows about our iconic events. Few know about Secret Sessions...
Intimate, one-day styled shoots, these very exclusive events are invite-only and one of our best kept secrets over the past few years.
These won't appear on social media.
You won't even find them in the menu for this website.
In fact, they're so exclusive that your invitation will come in the post, delivered by hand, rather than email.
We'll host one of these a quarter, with just nine spaces available per Secret Session. They'll feature some of the brightest up-and-coming faces of the dance and fashion world, cutting-edge British designers and best-in-class cinematic lighting products from leading innovators Rotolight – and they'll be hosted in under-the-radar locations.
Secret Sessions are home to the unusual, little-known wonders within just an hour's drive from London. From opulent period homes to mission-sensitive aircraft hangars, forgotten cinemas to underground bunkers, we'll take you on a journey to locations that few others get to see...

Dial up the drama and embark on a gemmologist's dream, where only the finest rocks make the cut.
Welcome to a new realm, where daring fashion frames the most precious of jewels, and outlandish couture shines the brightest. From Emerald to Amethyst, Sapphire to Pearl - no stone is left unturned.
It's a riot of colour finessed to perfection; proving that while fashions change, diamonds are forever.
Venue
This elegant country manor is the place where Glenn Miller played his last concert and disappeared into history. Today the space is a luxe fusion of straight edged, symmetrical perfection, traditional architecture and a splash of the modern English country house style.
A masterful blend of regency and contemporary, it’s awash with creative spirit and English country ideals; its decorative tropes are instantly recognisable with a mix of antique furnishings, textiles, a dash of modernity and a flourish of gold trim throughout.
This venue is a private home and hasn’t ever been used as a photographic location before. Welcome to one of England’s real hidden gems…

Hollywood Boulevard
Location: London
Date: Sat 5th Aug - SOLD OUT
DATE ADDED: Sun 24th Sep
Max. Spaces: 10
Timings: 12pm-5.30pm (arrivals from 11.30am), refreshments included
Price: £375
Roll back the clock to the Golden Age of Hollywood cinema, where the vintage classics never get old.
We're puttin' on the glitz with a star-studded cast inspired by the era's trailblazers, amongst a trove of memorabilia from cinema's glory days of the '30s, '40s and '50s.
Movie theatres and cinematic glam might be a dime a dozen in Tinseltown, but Hollywood Boulevard is a reel above the rest.
The cameras will soon be rolling; are you ready for your close up?
Venue
Once home to Charlie Chaplin, now a trove of movie memorabilia, it's one of London's best kept secrets; a loved silver-screen shrine preserving and celebrating every aspect of cinema-going in the 20th century.
In an uncanny location, stashed away behind the melee of London, its secretive nature and odd opening hours means that many don't know of its existence. Even if your taste is more popcorn blockbusters and fancy multiplexes, it's impossible not to be seduced by a place this evocative of a bygone age.
It has the air of a grandad's attic grown wild. It is at once charmingly organised and disorganised — strewn throughout various rooms, stairwells and corridors of the former Lambeth workhouse, with ticket machines, kiosks, projectors, autographed pictures of long lost stars and signs that optimistically state: 'Queue Here'.
If ever there was a cinema laced with nostalgia, this is it.
