New park attractions unveiled for Kynren 2020

Made up of 1,000 cast and crew members working on a 7.5 acre stage, Kynren - An Epic Tale of England is an annual outdoor event in Bishop Auckland, County Durham that showcases the country’s history. 

The park, a new development for next year’s show, will be open throughout the day before evening performances commence. Family attractions and dining experiences are said to be included - here’s what’s planned:

Horse Stunt Show: Led by artistic director Charles Lamarche, the show will be made up of horse-riding stunts, chariot races and live jousting on Kynren’s panoramic outdoor stage.

Maze of Fame: Visitors can explore the maze and meet a host of characters inside. 

Adventure Playground: Based alongside returning features, such as the Viking Village and Animal Croft, the playground’s theme is ‘mini explorers’. 

Live Music on the Lake: Groups can relax by the lakeside, enjoy some music and grab a bite to eat before the main performance starts.

New dining opportunities include a hog roast meal deal and covered family area in the Food Hall, plus new two-course and VIP dining packages.

“The Park is the most ambitious addition to the Kynren spectacular and is a major step towards our vision of creating a truly world-class family destination experience here in the North East”

Anne-Isabelle Daulon, CEO and co-founder of Kynren
