Masters in Mixed Reality. After years spent creating quality 360 audio-visual content for several high-profile clients

, our founder, Keith Myers, sought a new challenge - to master the art of experiential storytelling. To create truly immersive worlds in which users didn’t just control the narrative, but they could also explore and engage in a whole new way.

​So, in 2019, AVimmerse was founded with four core principles guiding Keith’s mission:

Top-quality Production | Boundless Innovation | Imagination | Creativity


Today, AVimmerse is a dispersed team of world-class artists, producers, designers, and engineers who specialise in creating unforgettable, immersive experiences for our clients and their customers. We’re also trusted by some of the largest education providers in the UK to teach the next generation of mixed reality content creators, technicians, and producers.

A Viking legend carved into a Christian cross.

At St Wilfrid’s Church in Halton, near Lancaster, the carved cross is one of the most fascinating parts of the site. It appears to bring together early Christian imagery and Norse storytelling, all within a landscape that also includes a Saxon church site and a Norman motte and bailey.

Ancient churches are not just old buildings. They hold architecture, memory, grief, worship, local families, and traces of lives that might otherwise disappear.

This is from my full film exploring St Mary the Virgin, Gisburn.

The Warrington Castle Kickstarter is planned to launch on 16 June.

The campaign will help fund the next careful archaeological investigation into Warrington’s forgotten Norman castle site near St Elphin’s Church.

The main campaign video is now complete, and we’re carrying out final checks before sharing it publicly.

This is a responsible archaeology project. It is not treasure hunting, and nobody should dig, metal detect or disturb the site independently. Any future work will take place through the proper permissions and professional archaeological guidance.

You can preview the campaign here:

Help Warrington find out what lies beneath.

This was not a stone castle.

Castle Hill at Halton, near Lancaster, was an early Norman timber motte and bailey: a wooden tower on the mound, with a defended bailey below overlooking the River Lune.

In the full episode, I explore how one small landscape brings together a Saxon church site, ancient carved crosses, Norman power, river strategy and even Norse legend carved into stone.

At Halton near Lancaster, layers of history sit almost on top of each other.

- A Saxon church site.
- Ancient carved crosses.
- A Norman motte and bailey.
- Norse legend carved into stone.

This is exactly why I love exploring old churches and castle landscapes. They are not just isolated monuments, they are clues to older worlds still visible in the landscape.

A couple of weeks ago, we spent part of a weekend documenting a cruise with Acton Bridge Canoe Club on the River Weaver.

What interested us was not just the boats themselves, but the wider sense of place around them, movement through the locks, conversations between crews, and a boating culture that has existed here for decades alongside the historic swing bridge and canal infrastructure.

From above, you start to notice the geometry and rhythm of the waterways differently. From ground level, it becomes much more about atmosphere, community, and continuity.

We’ve shared a small selection of images from the day below.

Over the last few years, we’ve worked on immersive storytelling projects across heritage, education, and culture, from digital interpretation and VR experiences to community heritage projects like the ongoing Warrington Castle work.

Lately, we’ve become increasingly interested in a bigger question:

Why do some museum and heritage experiences stay with us for years, while others are forgotten the moment we leave?

And more importantly:
Why do so many digital experiences in museums fail to genuinely connect with visitors?

Next week we're running a small webinar exploring some of these questions around:
• visitor engagement
• storytelling
• interpretation
• digital experiences
• and where technology can genuinely help, rather than distract

This isn’t a sales pitch for immersive tech.

It’s a discussion about real challenges museums and heritage organisations are facing, and what might actually create meaningful engagement for audiences today.

If you work in museums, heritage, interpretation, education, or cultural engagement, I’d genuinely love to hear your perspective.
