The instax™ van is heading to the Eden Sessions
The Eden Sessions are unlike any other gig in the UK. Ten shows, one of the most distinctive outdoor venues in the world, and a lineup that covers everything from indie rock to folk to certified pop hits. If you’ve got a ticket for the 2026 Eden Sessions, you already know you’re in for something good.
And this year, the instax™ van is going to be there for all of it.
Whether you’re heading down for one show or you’re making a summer of it, the van will be on-site from midday or early afternoon right up until the music kicks off at around 8:30pm. Here’s everything you need to know before you go.
Where to find the van
Look for us just behind the stage, near the food court and The Avenue. You can’t miss it.
The van is open from early afternoon on each show day, running until the headline act starts at approximately 8:30pm. Head over early if you want to get your print, or pick up a camera before the crowds build up.
What’s at the van
The van is your photo opportunity on the night. We’ll be shooting with the instax SQ40™ and the instax™ Biz app, so you can walk away with a custom branded print to keep. It’s a proper keepsake from the night.
There’s also a giveaway running at the van, so it’s worth swinging by even if you’re not planning to buy.
If you want your own kit, the van stocks cameras and film to buy on the spot. The range available is the instax mini 12™, the instax mini 41™, and the QuickSnap™. You can also grab instax™ mini film if you’re shooting on your own camera.
A note on the QuickSnap™
The QuickSnap™ is a single-use 35mm film camera. It shoots on traditional film, which means the prints don’t come out at the van. Once you’ve used the roll, you take or send it to a lab to get your photos developed. It’s a different kind of keepsake to an instax™ camera print, but a brilliant one. Just worth knowing before you buy.
If you want a print in your hands on the night, the instax mini 12™ and the instax mini 41™ are your cameras.

The Eden Project at 25
2026 marks the Eden Project’s 25th anniversary, which makes this summer’s run of shows feel a little more special than usual. It’s one of those places that genuinely rewards a print. Whether it’s the biomes in the background, the crowd around you, or the person you went with, there’s no shortage of moments worth holding onto.
