Kynren

The outstanding, outside show of Kynren began in 2018 and has been a hugely popular event located in Bishop Auckland, just outside Durham. The 'epic Tale of England' may not be historically correct but will dazzle spectators with light shows, jousting and epic battles throughout our history.
