Great first shoot at Top Hat today with the lovely model Helen Diaz. Made really welcome right from the start; a clear guide to all of the sets that fully met and exceeded my expectations after viewing their PP page. Every assistance was provided, including copious quantities of coffee. Great facilities all readily available. I've only used a fraction of studio sets so far and will be looking at a prompt return.

Many thanks for a great day.

I worked at the fantastic Top Hat Studios for the first time during my last tour and had such a blast!! It was my first time working at the studio and I was a little nervous as I usually check the studio out first before arranging studio days- but I was very glad that I booked 2 studio days there and went with the many fantastic references which are very deserved!! :)

Steve and Liz are a lovely couple, very approachable, down to earth and professional but fun, they made me feel very welcome. The studio is such an amazing space to work with- so many fantastic rooms and sets to choose from- that you cant possibly get around to shooting in one shoot, so a return is definate!

I found the studio very easily with the directions given and parking was a breeze. I loved the creativity and the atmosphere of the place- and alot of hard work has gone into the sets. All photographers I worked with went away with cracking images and really enjoyed the day. There is a kitchen also to use and facilities were excellent. Steve and Liz were on hand with refreshments, tips and to help with lighting- the lighting was fantastic and I am looking forward to seeing the images over the coming months.

Thanks so much for your hospitality and really hope to be back again in the future! Highly recommended, Helen x

Wow! What can we say? We were greeted very warmly and made to feel at home instantly. A hot brew in hand we were given the guided tour through the open plan studio, which gives you a diverse selection of sets to work in. There is ample lighting available, both fixed and portable, all of which we found easy to use, although help and assistance was always on hand, if we needed it. We used a variety of areas including the naturally lit boudoir, the bathroom, country manor and retro room. The results are outstanding. This was our first visit, but the space and atmosphere have generated so many more ideas we just have to return to work there again. Thank you for your hospitality. Highly recommended.

had a shoot at the amazing Top Hat in Newark today. I was met by Steve and Joanne who are some of the nicest people I have ever met, I was given a guided tour and had everything shown to me, A drink was soon made and I chatted away whilst the Model was getting ready. The studio is very clean and tidy with a large selection of varied sets, Nothing was too much trouble and I was made to feel very welcome and I am 100% returning very soon.

And thank you to Serenna it was one of my best ever shoots :-)

A studio where creativity is only limited by our own imagination. I loved every moment in this wonderfully kitted out studio. The themed sets are brilliantly laid out with lots of room to work around. There's also lots of other areas where you can let your creativity run wild with props and lighting.

Had my first shoot at Top Hat studio and was very impressed by the set up and the number of sets available, A warm welcome from Elizabeth, with a cup of coffee and a tour of the many sets available. Good changing facilities for the models and they have used the space very well.

I will certainly be using the studio again and highly recommend.

Thanks again to Steve at Top Hat, I enjoyed a very successful shoot with Jo today. The studio has great sets, great coffee and I was grateful for the support and advice which Steve was always ready to give. His skill and knowledge are invaluable.

I'll certainly be at Top Hat again before too long. Highly recommended.

Had a shoot at Top Hat Studio yesterday with JoJo.

What a fantastic studio Steve has! Loads of different sets, lighting etc... All unique in their own right!

Although I have had limited studio experience, Steve was on hand to help and give advise which was most welcome.

There is plenty of car parking next to the river, tea and coffee on tap, what more could you ask for!

If you haven't visited Top Hat studio yet I would highly recommend it, you won't regret it!

Thanks again and I look forward to another shoot there again soon.

Oh my goodness! How remiss of me!

I genuinely thought I had already left not one, but two references for this fabulous studio! It transpires that it was all in my imagination and I had left none. I shall now redress that!

Top Hat studio is exceptional. Not only does the place itself inspire me, but the sets are fantastic and the owners are amazingly helpful and friendly.

I have both shot here and hosted workshops, and every time the days have been a great success. If you haven't used Top Hat yet then you are really missing out.

It will inspire you! It certainly does me! Oh and Mouna loves it there too, and she has impeccable taste ;)

I had shoot yesterday at Top Hat Studio with Paride, it isn't the first time I have used the studio and certainly won't be the last :)

The studio its self is fantastic, always clean and tidy sets, and everything is really easy to manage.

The owners are really lovely and are really helpful when something Pacific is asked for.

Go book Top Hat Studio for all your creative needs, I promise you won't be disappointed :)

My first session at Top Hat, already have another two booked - they're that good.

Four hours with Sharon, using several of the different sets available and patient support from Steve. The variety of sets is quite remarkable, models area is superb, loads of props, parking by the river, coffee whenever you need it - what else do you want!

Thanks Steve, see you soon.

Super impressed with my first shoot at Top Hat Studio- it's a gorgeous, magical space with so many different sets and areas to shoot in, and lovely Jo making all the tea and being so welcoming ^_^ Really looking forward to shooting here again. Recommend other people book full days as less than that and you'll be pushed to get round it all!!

I worked at Top Hat Studio a few days ago. It was a great experience and I wouldn't hesitate to work there again. Everyone was friendly and very helpful, there is free parking and the numerous sets are a fantastic springboard to explore your own and your models creativity. Highly recommended.

Sarah Swift

I booked top hat studio on behalf of my company Swifty Productions to host our first event Trinity Experience there. The owners were lovely, very accomodating and provided a great spread for lunch for us, couldnt have asked for nicer hosts. The studio itself is well equipped and has a fantastic variety of sets which is every creatives dream.... we loved it so much that we ahve already booked the studio again to be used at another one of our events and Im postivie that we will create a great business relationship together.

If you want a studio that ticks all the boxes, look no further, get it booked

What can i say. I love the place. The ideas and creativity behind this place is nothing short of wonderful. I am definitely planning on paying another visit. I had the most fun there with Keano, Treasa, and Alison. So many ideas and rooms to shoot them in. It's quaint and quirky and well worth the money.
