360 Info Tour

18/11/2025

Update on The Lord Raglan!
Last week’s rain meant I could only capture the interior 360s, so I popped back yesterday to shoot the exterior. Couldn’t have timed it better — the lighting was absolutely gorgeous as the sun went down. Perfect conditions for a stunning exterior shot!

If you run a pub, bar or venue and want beautiful, high-impact 360 imagery to boost your Google presence and attract more customers, get in touch — I’d love to come and shoot yours next!

🎅✨ MAGICAL 360° SNEAK PEEK! ✨🎅

360 Photo Team have been busy in Santa’s Grotto at The Mall, Maidstone … and they’ve created something truly special for the festive season!

The team has produced a brand-new 360° Info Tour, giving everyone the chance to explore Santa’s cosy grotto virtually — see where he sits, admire the decorations, and enjoy a full walk-through of this magical space, all from a computer or phone. 🎄✨

Would you like a sneak peek?
The virtual tour lets families step inside before visiting, offering a unique look at the very spot where Santa listens to Christmas wishes.

After enjoying the virtual visit, families are encouraged to come along and meet Santa in person.
He’s in his grotto every day from 10:00am, and on Sundays from 10:30am for a well-deserved little lay-in!

360 Photo Team are proud to support Santa again this year and look forward to capturing festive smiles throughout the season.

📸 Do you run a business in or around Maidstone?
If you think a 360° virtual tour could benefit your company — helping customers explore your space online, boosting engagement, and improving visibility — then please get in touch.
It’s not as expensive as you may think, and the impact can be huge!

An Open Letter to Masonic Halls in Kent

Brethren,

Is your Centre’s online presence truly doing it justice?

In today's digital world, the first impression for most visitors, potential members, and the general public happens on Google. When people search for your Masonic Hall, what they see is a direct reflection of our fraternity.

Unfortunately, many profiles look the first picture - incomplete, outdated, or even unclaimed.

An unclaimed profile is more than just a missed opportunity; it's a security risk. The "Claim this business" button is an open invitation for an unscrupulous person to take control of your Centre's online identity.

As a specialist in 360° Google Tours and a fellow Kent Freemason, I want to help our Centres put their best foot forward. I can help you create a professional, engaging, and secure Google profile that properly showcases our beautiful buildings and heritage.

The second picture is a Centre we have created a 360° Google Tour and updated the information on their Google Profile.

A virtual tour allows visitors to step inside and explore the Centre from their own homes, providing a welcoming and informative experience.

We can take this a step further by creating a vespoke overlay for the tour that we call our 360° Info Tour, because it goes beyond a simple walkthrough by embedding layers of rich information.

With many Centres having undergone updates over the summer break, now is the perfect time to capture your building at its best. My passion is to see every Centre in Kent shine online, encouraging visits from both Masons and non-Masons by giving them all the information they need before they arrive.

It would be great if you could spare five minutes for a brief chat about how we can enhance your Centre's digital front door.

Sincerely and Fraternally,

Mark Howells
