About

Kynren returns for the 5th year every Saturday from 1 August - 12 September 2020. The outdoor theatre extravaganza has even more to offer in 2020 with a new show, new attractions and new dining. This family-friendly event is a feast for all the senses and a brilliant way to enjoy the long summer evenings in the North East. 

From daylight to starlight watch legends come to life in Kynren, a thrilling tale told on an epic scale - 2,000 years in the making.  Unique in the UK, this world-class performance takes place on a 7.5-acre outdoor stage and is set against the magnificent backdrop of Auckland Castle in County Durham.

Dazzling pyrotechnics, beautiful choreography, amazing stunts and hard-to-believe horsemanship combine with an inspired, original soundtrack leaves audiences enraptured and awestruck.
