Instagrammers can strike a pose at a brand new selfie factory, which will soon open its doors in Kent.

Featuring a giant ball pit, doughnut wall, confetti cove and more, the pop-up exhibit its one of the first of its kind in the UK.

Following successful runs in both Brighton and Shoreditch, the installation will appear at Bluewater this spring, as bosses aim to go "bigger and better" than ever before.

Inspired by a trip to Los Angles, the trio of 25-year-old friends behind the project decided to bring the concept - which is extremely popular in the USA - across the Atlantic for the first time.

Director Will Bower said: "We’re now part of the selfie-generation; people are sharing more and more photos of themselves and sometimes go to great lengths to capture the perfect snap.
