Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome: Shots over Stow Photoshoot

Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome has become a firm favourite of the photographer. From its long term residents - the raptors and mammals - to its breath-taking airshows. Now, the opportunity has arrived for you to recreate the earliest part of the Stow Maries story.

With advice on hand from our own photographers, you'll be led in small, informal groups from location to location, and given plenty of time and space to get the shots you need for your gallery.

You'll have time to get settled, have time to get the angle you need, time to enjoy the process.

When you break for lunch - it will be supplied as part of the occasion. You'll enjoy it in the original Great War Airmen's Mess, so the spell won't be broken. You can swap ideas and exchange your feelings on the shots you have already gathered, before heading out for the last two locations on the day.

Time. Space. Food. Great locations. Peer-to-peer advice.

All the while, you'll know that your contribution to the event will be directly funding the site's survival.

What are you waiting for? Limited numbers are very much part of the deal - so book early to avoid disappointment.

Stow Maries is uniquely placed to offer you genuine and original backdrops, with the atmosphere soaking into your images.
