KYNREN

Taking place every Saturday night from 27th July to 14th September, ‘Kynren – an epic tale of England’ is a multi-award-winning production featuring a 1,000-strong volunteer cast and crew, performed on a gigantic 7.5-acre outdoor stage just outside Bishop Auckland in County Durham.
Watch legends come to life and travel through 2000 years of history and adventure as seen through the eyes of Arthur, the young son of a mining family. From the legendary exploits of Boudicca and King Arthur to the pomp and pageantry of royal ceremony, immerse yourself in a world where Vikings storm, knights clash, miners toil and spectacular heroes rise under epic skies.

There’s pre-show entertainment with the Return of the Vikings – an authentic recreation of a 9th century village where you can talk and interact with the villagers as they go about their daily lives, visit the cookhouse, and watch the blacksmith at work in his forge producing real chainmail.

Kynren’ echoes the Anglo Saxon word ‘cynren’, meaning generation, kin or family, and is a fitting name for Arthur’s epic discovery of his roots
