The 90-minute live action night show in Bishop Auckland, County Durham, needs to be seen to be believed. Set on a seven-and-a-half-acre outdoor stage, the experience starts at sunset and ends in starlight and will be taking place every Saturday night until 13th September.
From Boudicca’s battles with the Romans to two world wars, as well as Vikings, Tudors, Stuarts, Queen Victoria and the Industrial Revolution, Kynren is a real whistlestop tour of 2000 years of history myth and legend. It is a spellbinding, family-friendly experience delivering thrills, shocks, tears, laughs, goosebumps and gasps on a truly cinematic scale, with the 8,000-seater tribune providing panoramic views across the outdoor stage.
Tickets cost from £30 for adults and from £20 for under 18s. Children aged 3 and under are free when sat on an adult’s knee.
