Yoga, Pilates, meditation and painting sessions will all be held inside the exhibition space. The immersive experiences will come to Exhibition Centre Liverpool from Tuesday, July 15 to Sunday, August 3. When Beyond Van Gogh was given its UK premiere in Liverpool last year, "yoga among the art" sessions sold out. Special Beyond Yoga sessions will be returning for 2025, with Yogacita Liverpool instructor Lucita Fernandez leading 50-minute classes on the morning of Saturday, July 19 and the evening of Thursday, July 24. New for 2025, there is a chance to take part in Beyond Pilates inside the exhibition, with 50-minute sessions on the evening of Thursday, July 17 and the morning of Saturday, July 26. The mat-based classes will be hosted by the city's DT Pilates.

Align Lifestyle will be holding 50-minute sessions for visitors to relax tension and foster mindfulness, connection and restoration. And Beyond Van Gogh producer Annerin Productions has partnered with Paint Away Events to give visitors the chance to paint like Van Gogh and Monet – right inside the immersive experience. Special two-and-a-half-hour Paint and Sip classes will be held on the evenings of Friday, July 18 and Friday, July 25, with participants able to draw inspiration from the breathtaking surroundings to create their own masterpiece in a relaxed and social atmosphere, while enjoying a drink at the same time. The ticket price will include all materials, aprons and a welcome drink, with additional beverages available to purchase at the venue. No artistic experience is necessary. Produced by Annerin Productions and Paquin Entertainment Group, Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience brings together more than 300 of the post-impressionist icon's paintings blended with cutting-edge technology and a specially curated musical soundtrack to tell the story of one of history's most influential artists, with people able to wander through iconic works - including The Starry Night, Sunflowers and Terrace of a Café at Night - as they came alive around them. Exciting new features for 2025 will be announced in the coming weeks. Beyond Monet: The Immersive Experience has been seen by thousands of people at venues across North America, and now it is coming to the UK, following in Beyond Van Gogh's footsteps by being premiered in Liverpool. The exhibition breathes new life into more than 400 of the legendary French painter's artworks, taking visitors on an audio-visual journey through his captivating and colourful world. Beyond Monet brings together some of the artist's most famous canvases – including Poppies, Impression: Sunrise and his Water Lilies series – with lesser-known works which all swirl around the space, offering a fresh and exciting new look at much-loved masterpieces and a deeper connection with Monet, his subjects and his innovative technique. Taking inspiration from Musée de l'Orangerie in Paris, the designated home of Monet's works, visitors can freely roam the Infinity Room where they are transported inside the paintings to the accompaniment of a moving original score.
