Very relaxing!

Review of Beyond Submergence

Such an amazing show

Review of Beyond Submergence

Disappointed and expensive for a load of lightbulbs. Got home and read reviews about clouds, shock and awe, amazing guitar music, bright lights. There was none of this. Damp squid.

Review of Beyond Submergence

My experience was relatively basic and mildly boring (so sorry). Each phase was quite same same but different. I think there could have been a story to the sound - meaning a word or short sentence to provoke thought or guidance to an area within ones mind that could expand further. I do appreciate the effort overall of the crew who created and engineered the experience, it was just lacking something profound. Maybe I just didn’t ‘get it’ or my base level of sensory experience is higher than average. Once again though, thank you for the energy and effort I appreciate you all!

Review of Beyond Submergence SEN Sessions

Not often we return for a second visit anywhere, but Beyond Submergence was such a place! Really liked the lights, and the music was also very calming. Access to a hoist so my son could lie on one of the beanbags would have made things even better, but he still enjouyed the expereince.

Review of Beyond Submergence

Beyond Submergence was lovely, the lights and music were so relaxing but my family and I failed to enjoy our first half hour as a groups of mums with toddlers were so noisy. Before going in, we were told children should be supervised and not run around so I told my two children to behave and stay close. It would have been appreciated if other parents could have done the same. We had to leave after 20 mins as the shrieking and running around of young children was unbearable. Staff were around in each zone but did not try to control the situation at all. There was no way we could enjoy a 'submersive' experience under those conditions. Luckily the ticket was valid for the day, so we left and had a drink in the cafe and went through again with a less noisy group. On reflection, I should have booked for a later slot in the afternoon.

Review of Beyond Submergence

My grandson is Autistic and he loves lights, he really enjoyed this experience and was amazed by all the colours of the lights. Happy little man 😀

Review of Beyond Submergence

Not well navigated and the staff were as clueless as we were. Lack of enthusiasm or care from staff and it fell flat.

Review of Beyond Submergence

A beautiful and strangely moving experience. Who'd have thought that lights and music could be almost transformative?

Review of Beyond Submergence

What an amazing experience!

Review of Beyond Submergence

Excellent exhibition, so immersive and well presented

Review of Beyond Submergence

To get the full sound effects, relaxation and everything else you need to book when there are no screaming, crying children running around. This was not explained when booking. Our first impression was awful but once the hall cleared you could hear and fully immerse yourself in the experience.

Review of Beyond Submergence

A great hour…kids loved it! Very relaxing

Review of Beyond Submergence

Overall enjoyed the experience, it does only last half an hour though so ticket prices seem a bit steep compared to other similar exhibitions that I have been to in London that are longer

Review of Beyond Submergence

We both so wanted to enjoy the event but we're left a little disappointed. I am sure for others it was amazing and we may have been unlucky with our timings. However there were too few cushions on the floors to use and immerse yourself within and a number of very young children were crying and afraid which meant turning off from the outside world was very hard. Perhaps offer adults only times?

Review of Beyond Submergence

Love that is was relaxed with the kids too

Review of Beyond Submergence

We enjoyed the show but there were a few little niggles that with some thought could be fixed.
1st. On several of the installations there were 1 or 2 bulbs that didn't work. For a work that is literally about immersion in light and sound was not good.
2nd. In our group there were lots of very young children whose parents seemed to think the show was a playground for them and were shouting and pulling on the lights. I have children and think it was a good thing for young ones to experience but perhaps you could have separate times for people who want to really enjoy immersion in the installation without distraction.
Overall though it was a good work and we enjoyed it very much.

Review of Beyond Submergence

We really enjoyed firstly sitting and watching them all on at once and then going back to each individual one, really enjoyed being able to walk in between the curtain exhibit that was really mesmerising.
