Kynren – An Epic Tale of England
Kynren is a spellbinding live-action show which takes audiences on a journey through 2,000 years of British history. This outdoor spectacle is set against the dramatic backdrop of Auckland Castle in County Durham, and features a cast and crew of over 1,000 volunteers, who bring to life defining moments from Roman invasions to the Industrial Revolution, Viking raids to World War II.
The enormous scale of Kynren is truly unique as it’s performed on a 7.5 acre open air stage (which is the size of five football pitches!) This award winning live spectacular features stunning choreography, pyrotechnics, special effects, amazing stunts, original music and much more.
Don’t miss this celebration of Britain’s heritage, told through drama, dance, and dazzling effects. Whether you’re a history buff, theatre lover, or a first-time visitor, Kynren guarantees an unforgettable evening of entertainment under the stars.
All tours include Kynren tickets and return coach travel. Some Kynren packages include hotel accommodation, breakfast, hotel-to-venue transfers plus a ticket to the event.
