Relaxing, and truly special. I've never experienced a show like this. A lot of thought had gone into curating something magical. It will stay with me for a long time.

Wonderful experience and well worth the price (£11 concession plus £3 VR ) Wish the information boards were spread out better as it was hard to read in the narrow entrance corridor. The information for the base paintings would be better placed in the viewing area and give more room to space out other information and reduce the crowded entrance area. Don’t be too eager to leave the immersion area. It’s well worth ensuring you watch the full loop. Add your drawing ! Don’t miss out on the VR it’s worth the extra £3. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

I bought the tickets for my husband's birthday. Both the Immersive Experience and the VR Experience justified the 4 and 5 star reviews that had been left by previous visitors. It was a really atmospheric venue and the whole show gave a wonderful insight into the life and prolific work of a true genius whose life ended so tragically. It was indeed memorable experience.

Well, my second visit with a friend who hadn't seen it herself certainly was worth while. Also the virtual reality ride is the cream on top of the cake. Definitely worth the experience.

Can't fault it. Wonderful to sit and walk in the midst of Van Gogh's artworks displaying themselves all around us and to get a real sense of his life. Recommended.

We absolutely loved our visit to the Van Gogh Immersive Experience. It was totally magical and surpassed our expectations. The animations are beautiful and totally captivating. I can’t rate it highly enough.

The Immersive experience was excellent I felt fully 'immersed ' in his paintings. Fantastic and a good insight into his life and creative but troubled thinking.

Rather like Van Gogh's works this experience was a vibrant presentation of his art, being both informative and revealing. The VR puts so much of the context into place. On the whole a rewarding few hours which all four of us will remember for a long time. Thank you

Awesome experience, loved every minute of it. Learnt more about the artist. From the minute I sat in the deckchair I was immersed in the experience. Loved the music which was so calming. The building itself, with the arches framing the images, brilliant. Loved it

Absolutely brilliant,. Especially the VR experience which I found very moving. The old church was just the right setting for the video display. I do hope this can be done with other artists in future. Please let me know. Thank you Ken Noble

My friend and I visited this experience together and really enjoyed it. It was very interesting and informative and there were many examples of the artists works shown as part of the experience. The main experience was great and the church building lent itself to the presentation. We also used the head sets for the interactive bit at the end which was lovely. Overall it was a interesting and enjoyable experience.

Such a unique experience, it was so peaceful to sit and watch as the paintings moved and came to life around you. Definitely something to remember

We enjoyed the immersive experience to a certain extent but it was spoilt, not by anything to do with the organisation or the idea, but by a very inconsiderate Asian family who let their children jump up and down in front of the Van Gogh pictures whilst the mother also stood in front taking photos of them - all to the detriment of other people who wanted to see the pictures without kids doing star jumps in front of them! A shame the attendants either weren’t aware or didn’t feel able to say anything to stop them.

Enjoyable experience , would have given 5 but feel the virtual reality bit should have been included in price. That was definitely the best bit😃Recommended.

Very impressed by this event. It was educational but much more than that. It brought to life the story of van Gogh in an extremely accessible way. I now know much more about the painter than I did and in particular was exposed to many more his paintings than I can recall identifying in the past. The VR Experience Alone would have justified the price. I shall visit again

This was a wonderful way to learn more about the artist and experience his paintings in a unique way.The VR experience was amazing and well worth the extra £3. Only negative was some of the information boards were difficult to view, one too high up and another outside the bedroom exhibit couldn't read as would have blocked view of people watching the film. Would definitely recommend though.

Worth a visit. Technology is brilliant.

Whilst some bits of the main show were nice the projections were quite repetitive and didn't really utilize the floor space as much as they could, we thought charging £3 extra each on top of the £13 per person entry fee for the VR experience at the end was a bit steep really and should have been included in the price.

An amazing, imaginative and relaxing experience. I loved the way the architecture of the old church building was used to enhance Van Gogh’s masterpieces. Beautiful music and lighting. A very memorable day.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the Van Gogh experience. It was very informative in a relaxed environment. There were no time limits. We could stay in each area for as long as we wanted to. The VR experience was well worth the extra £3. So pleased that we went.

We weren’t sure what to expect but this blew our minds. The immersive experience was so unique and captivating. The VR was a great experience at the end and well worth the extra £3. The setup, layout and different rooms were ideal.

Totally loved the immersive experience of the Van Gogh paintings. The vases were beautiful, the main immersive experience was delightful and the VR was brilliant. What a great way to use tech to share art and bring it toife

The light show didn’t take the experience to another level- compared to previous luminaries I’ve seen this was weak
Steve
Aug 20, 2022
Excellent. Learnt a lot about the painter and that he may have been colour blind. The best bit was the virtual reality but at the end-cost another £3.00 but really worth it. Would have been a poorer experience without VR.

Yesterday I visited for the second time, the Van Gogh Immersive Experience and gained a bit more insight in the process. I enjoyed the digital show inside the main room and was amazed at the art coming to life in the form of digital moving pictures. However, the part which was the most awe inspiring was the 360 degrees head gear providing 11 minutes of magic as it transports you from Van Gogh’s bedroom to nature outside his home in Arle, Provence which inspired him to paint so many paintings. It’s so worth spending £3 extra for this as it just blows your mind and every second of it is so special even on the second visit.

Absolutely loved the whole experience. Would like the vase in my house! Learned some new information about Vincent. Artistic license very clever adding to the portrayal of Van Gogh’s inspiration. Virtual reality really showed his skill at putting scenes on canvas. The VR was just right length.

We weren't sure what to expect but this was a different and informative experience, even for those of us who are not fully acquainted with the art world. Would definitely recommend

Wonderful exhibition. Well worth the money. Learned a lot, enjoyed the visual experiences and colouring our own paintings and having them put on the large screen. The best bit was the virtual reality, was absolutely amazing. Great way to spend a Saturday morning

We were very impressed by the exhibition, which brought a whole new perspective to the otherwise pretty well known life and works of Van Gogh. A pleasant venue (although a pity there was no coffee shop) with easy parking at the John Lewis car park 3 minutes away.

Me and my partner both enjoyed the experience, we both enjoy exploring art and culture, it was informative and creative. There is something for everyone to do. However, a warning to anyone who suffers from motion sickness, the immersive experience and VR experience caused me to feel quite sick :/

We loved this unique way of experiencing and learning about Van Gogh, his work and his life. It was amazing, bringing to all to life. We were there about 2 hours and enjoyed every minute.

Fascinating exhibition. Very interesting facts about Van Gogh. The immersive experience brings the paintings to life in a relaxed atmosphere and the optional VR is well worth the entry fee.

A totally wonderful experience and perfectly put together. Educational and enlightening. The modern technology enhances Van Gogh’s work, bringing it to life in a complimentary way making your involvement as a viewer emotive and not in anyway passive. The venue was the perfect choice linking the artist history and beliefs while being perfectly aesthetic.
