Kynren – An Epic Tale of England is the UK’s ‘must see’ spectacular outdoor live action show.
Travel through 2,000 years of history in a single unforgettable evening! The show of shows, not to be missed. A once in a lifetime show. Watch as legends come to life – Vikings storm ashore, battles rage, and heroes rise beneath a sky ablaze with magic and fire. Experience the thunder of Roman chariots, the majesty of jousting knights, and poignant echoes of history's greatest triumphs and tragedies. With breathtaking stunts, stunning special effects, and a cast and crew of a thousand, Kynren will leave you inspired, amazed, and wanting more.
The multi-award-winning live action outdoor theatre spectacular is set in the beautifully landscaped grounds of Kynren, nestled at the bottom of the escarpment on which Auckland Palace, Bishop Auckland, proudly sits, and takes guests on a spellbinding journey through two thousand years of history, myth and legend, as we join young Arthur on his epic quest.
Gates open at least two and a half hours before the start of each show. Pre-dinner drinks can be purchased from our bar on an exclusive lakeside terrace with views of Auckland Palace.
Travel back in time and visit the Viking Village! You'll be able to talk and interact with the villagers as they go about their daily lives, visit the cookhouse, see them tend to the animals, prepare meals and watch the blacksmith at work in his forge producing real chainmail! Just be careful as the Viking warriors are preparing for a raid! Part of the pre-show entertainment at Kynren this season.
Kynren takes place at 11 Arches Park in Bishop Auckland, and a town steeped in history spanning the Romans, generations of powerful Prince Bishops, horse-racing, and the Industrial Revolution.
We have been recommended to get to the showground early, for ease with parking and for our clients to be directed to their reserved seating area.
