The venue is just a few minutes walk for Hoxton station, and the storyline starts right as you step into Avora’s London venue, ‘Roscorp Laboratories’.

After leaving our jackets and bags in a locker, we are guided to the ‘lab’ downstairs to receive our special Avora spacesuits. There are only a limited number of people in a session to make the experience as immersive and enjoyable as possible.

In the lab, we meet the actors: a scientist, a crazy Roscorp army soldier and Jeff, the CEO of Roscorp Laboratories (he welcomes us on the screen).

After donning our Avora jumpsuit, we receive our first cocktail.

The elixirs come in lab test tubes, and we mix the two ingredients for ourselves. According to the storyline, the elixirs contain a very special ingredient, called ‘luminol’ discovered on Avora. ‘Luminol’ helps us humans to acclimatise before we step through the gateway to the mysterious planet.

As we mix the two elixirs, they create mist and bubbles to make it super TikTokable.

Now, time to enter the mysterious gateway and meet the Avorians…

A New World – Avora

The gateway teleports us straight to Avora. It’s daytime and we find ourselves in a beautiful mystical woodland with exotic and unique flora.

An Avorian escorts us through the woodland and shows us a lovely ritual they always do on Avora to express friendship.

Here we have plenty of time to sip our next cocktail, make new friends and interact with Avorians and even teach them something from planet Earth.

As day turns to night, the lush magical world lights up in the dark, transforming the landscape into an enchanting bioluminescent forest.

After taking photos and videos, it’s time for our last destination…

An Other-Worldly Experience

An Avorian guides us to the final destination of our experience. While crossing a bridge, they show us a trick on how to interact with the Avorian environment and what we see is truly magical.

Arriving to the final room, we see bioluminescent trees cascading from the above in blue and purple light, while illuminating rocks surround us all over.

We are guided to a mystical cave where we receive our last cocktail that contains a special ingredient to make it luminous. But beware! That ingredient has a secret! And Avora’s future will depends on that secret…

Now, Avorians need your help to protect their planet. Are you ready to save Avora from human destruction?

Back to Planet Earth

Now that we have successfully saved Avora, we found ourselves on planet Earth, in Roscorp Laboratories again.

Welcome to Moonshine Saloon, a notorious cocktail bar in Cold Water, Kansas County.

Combining immersive theatrical and personalised cocktail experience, Moonshine Saloon transports its guests to the Wild West in 1904 when illicit liquor operation was blooming.

You’ll become part of the story immediately you arrive to your session. Moonshine Saloon is a meeting point of a covert illicit liquor operation where smuggles and outlaws can rub shoulders with the local’s, play card games or dice games while joining Clyde Cassidy’s liquor-smuggling gang.

Discretion is Paramount – Visit the Tailor First

You don’t want to attract the attention of the local Sheriff, do ya? Upon your arrival, you’ll first visit the local Tailor who provide you Stetson hat and Western attire, so you’ll look just like the locals.

Become a Bootlegger

Now you’re ready to step through the swinging doors and secretly hand your own illegally smuggled liquor to the Saloon Barkeeps. You can bring whichever booze you like, the only thing to keep in mind is that it must be in an originally sealed bottle.

The expert barkeeps then will expertly craft 4 bespoke cocktails per person by combining your own moonshine with bitters, home-made syrups, liquors, and garnishes.

Pssst…and if you’ll be trusted enough, you might have the opportunity for a closer inspection of Clyde Cassidy’s notorious secret Moonshine Distillery.

The Sheriff and the King of Moonshiners

Photo: Urban Adventurer

To make sure you completely immersed, you’ll be fully involved in the story of the King of the Moonshiners and the local Sheriff performed by live actors/actresses during your time at Moonshine Saloon.

If you want to be involved in the story even more, you have the chance to choose from 3 different characters when booking: The Brothel Keeper, the Mayor, or The Deputy Sheriff. Costume provided!

Whichever character you choose, Moonshine Saloon will make sure there is only one of each of the characters for each session, so there will be no “this town ain’t big enough for both of us” situation.

The Set Design

Photo: Urban Adventurer

Moonshine Saloon looks exactly like it was from one of those classic Western films we love so much. There are tons of photo opportunities! Expect, barrels, shadowy corners, oil lanterns, an old piano at the corner and posters on the wall advertising the Pony Express and “Madams of House of Scarlet and Crimson”.

Enter a whimsical colourful world full of bubbles that pop, blow, float, and fizz. The fun-filled fully immersive experience invites you for a journey in the world of fantasy.

There are 11 mind-blowing rooms to be explored, each one promises truly magical experience for kids and grown-ups alike.

Here are some of my favourite rooms:

Bubble Ocean

This room is filled with pink balloons and upon entering, you can blow your own balloon to bring it in with you. In the middle of the room, there is a giant chubby inflatable palm tree and the whole room is lit by pink and blue lights. Perfect for some fun and creative photos for your ‘Gram.

Bubble Bath

Photo: Urban Adventurer

Submerge into thousands of balls in a giant ball pit while playing with oversized inflatable rubber duck and a gigantic ball. This ball pit is the biggest I’ve ever seen and designed to look like a bathtub in which a giant is taking a bubbly bath.

Put balls into the machine in the middle of the ball pit and see them woosh up in a transparent flute and rain back onto you.

Bubble Bath is so much fun, you could spend hours swimming in the ocean of balls without even noticing it. Just don’t forget to take your shoes off before submerging.

LED Room

Balloon Gateway

Step Into a Painting – Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience

Urban Adventurer Exhibition, Immersive Experience, Instagrammable Places, Unique Experience Immersive Experience London, Van Gogh, Van Gogh Experience London, Van Gogh Immersive Experience London, Van Gogh London, Van Gogh Starry Night, Van Gogh The Immersive Experience, Vincent Van Gogh, What to Visit in London, where to go in London 1

Step into the world of imagination and immerse yourself the universe the world-famous painter, Vincent Van Gogh.

Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience is a 360-degree experience made with a cutting-edge technology in a 20,000 square feet space with light and sound to get you closer to the painter and his most famous masterpieces than ever before.

Interesting Facts

The first room showcases Van Gogh’s most famous artworks and gives us fascinating information about the painter we never heard before.

Did you know for instance, that Van Gogh was likely unable to recognise the colours as normal people can? Research revealed that Van Gogh was likely using bright colours because his eyes were unable to distinguish the different hues of a colour that are close together.

If Paintings Were Reality

Photo: Urban Adventurer

The next room shows how Van Gogh’s paintings would look like if we had a chance to step into them. Unfortunately, due to Covid restrictions there is no chance for visitors to really step inside ‘The Bedroom’ painting and snap a photo. Still spectacular, though.

Immerse More with VR

For an extra £5 you can immerse more into the unique universe of the painter. A 10-minutes Virtual Reality experience guides you through the life of Vincent Van Gogh and his world-famous paintings, including ‘The Bedroom’ and ‘Starry Night’.

All Ages Welcome

Van Gogh – The Immersive Experience welcomes all ages. Kids (and adults of course) can create their own masterpieces by choosing a template provided and colour the image of their own artistic taste.

Once you’re ready, scan the QR code on the corner of the paper (do not colour and damage the QR code, otherwise you won’t be able to scan it) by sliding your finished work under the lamp and camera provided, push the big red button, and watch your masterpiece appearing on the big screen.

The Immersive Experience

Finally, visitors arrive in the immersive room which is a 20,000 square foot room filled with 360-degree light and sound effects. Sit on one of the sun beds or enjoy the show in style by sitting on a wooden bench.

Watch the paintings turning alive in front of your eyes. You’ll really feel like you were inside in the paintings.
