Bishop Auckland’s renowned live-action show is set to mark its tenth anniversary in 2025, with group tickets now available for its milestone season.
For groups of 20 or more visitors interested in attending Kynren, the team can offer a 15% discount on all seating categories excluding VIP, plus free coach parking.
The County Durham spectacular is the UK’s biggest outdoor show performed on a seven-and-a-half-acre stage featuring pyrotechnics, stunts and a 1,000-strong volunteer cast and crew.
2025 performances will take place on Saturday evenings from 19th July to 13th September.
A big anniversary year
Next year will be a significant year for the Group Leisure & Travel Award-winning production as it marks its tenth season and the attraction is set to continue to captivate audiences with its immersive storytelling, cinematic scale and choreography.
Anna Warnecke, CEO of Kynren, said: “Our tenth season is a remarkable milestone, reflecting years of dedication from our community of volunteers. The energy and enthusiasm of audiences keeps us motivated to deliver a show that is bigger and better every year. We’re proud to welcome guests from across the country and beyond to celebrate England’s history, myths, and legends in such a spectacular way.”
Next year will also include a special celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Stockton and Darlington Railway, with Kynren’s replica of the iconic Locomotion No.1 taking centre stage in the production. The Viking Village will also return, offering visitors an enhanced pre-show experience with authentic sights, sounds, and interactions in a recreated settlement.
Anna added: “Our very own Locomotion No.1 prop makes a memorable journey across the stage, and we’ll be sure to shine a spotlight on this too next year, celebrating this special milestone for the region.”
More about the show
In the shadow of the ancient Auckland Palace, Kynren is a spectacle for all ages and interests. The 90-minute performance starts at dusk when the sun begins to set and ends in celebratory fireworks.
Following young Arthur, audiences are taken on a journey through England’s history and witness horsemanship, fiery stunts, and a life-size steam engine burst onto the scene.
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 2,000 years of history myth and legend.
Group rates are available for 20 or more people.
