Imagine an immersive experience learning about the long and rich history of the U.K. with one of the biggest outdoor performances at the most British attraction known simply as Kynren. The word Kynren translates to family as the unique performance that can be enjoyed with the family with educational entertainment and is also the underlying theme in the show.
Kynren is a massive outdoor performance honoring decades of British history located near Auckland Castle in Bishop Auckland that typically takes place at night. The dramatic Kynren night show covers 2,000 years of history, legend, and myth within a 90-minute dazzling show consisting of 29dramatic scenes.
Kynren follows the tale of Young King Arthur who learns the secret of time travel from himself a.k.a Old Arthur that starts the 2,000-yearjourney of the performance. Young Arthur sets off on a journey through time on a quest for knowledge that relates to the show name Kynren like the Anglo-Saxonword ‘cynren’ meaning family or kin as Young Arthur discovers his family roots.
Though the main attraction takes place at night, during the day families can enjoy a variety of attractions at 11 Arches Park offering shows, nature-based attractions, immersive shows, and an immersive period village. 11 Arches Park offers visitors the chance to step back in time with attractions including The Maze Of Fame, The Viking Village, Kids Viking Lair, Dancing Waters, The Animal Croft, Rose Walk, and an amazing daytime show Fina& The Golden Cape.
The 50-minute daytime show Fina & The Golden Cape is like watching a period piece with action and adventure as heroes battle villains with a display of horse-skills with chariot-racing, jousting, vaulting, and trick-riding. 11 Arches Park and Kynren both celebrate the rich history of the U.K., but they also have a nighttime worldwide celebration called Pyromusical “Around The World.”
Certain times of the year 11 Arches Park hosts a pyromusical that is an elevated fireworks display featuring music from around the world. This performance is dubbed as the U.K.’s largest seated pyromusical that is a true spectacle.
