At the Church of Saint Michael on Victoria Road in Brighton, IMMERSION : SAMHAIN - A Live Sound & Movement Journey & Installation Experience brought people together for live music, movement, art, and projections inside the church building. Designed for dancers and those seeking reflective sound sessions, the gathering drew praise for its welcoming community, vocal performances, lighting, and DJ sets.

However, several visitors felt practical details could be improved. Guests suggested warmer food, smoother transitions between acts, and better care with lighting cables on the floor. Others noted long queues for the toilets, crowded dancing areas, and distractions during quiet moments, suggesting clearer signage for silent spaces and more varied musical styles.
