Pictures as Kynren Bishop Auckland offers sneak peek of show ahead of opening
Lucky attendees were given a preview of an breathtaking outdoor theatre extravaganza ahead of its 10th anniversary season.
Flatts Farm in Bishop Auckland travelled back in time on Saturday (July 5) night as Kynren made its much anticipated return for 2025.
Kynren – An Epic Tale of England is a live-action spectacular that takes audiences on a journey through 2,000 years of British history and will have its first show for the year on July 19.
Stunning scenes included Queen Victoria's magnificent six-horse carriage that took centre stage in a reimagined Jubilee scene and a show-stealing gaggle of geese waddling adorably across the stage.
Spectacular jousting and horse stunts provided thrilling moments, showcasing the dynamic equestrian skills audiences can expect.
The evening concluded with a breathtaking firework finale, with Kynren's 1,000-strong volunteer cast and crew at the heart of bringing generations of history to life.
As part of the evening, guests were treated to a special sneak preview of majestic birds from The Lost Feather, one of the breathtaking new shows planned for Kynren – The Storied Lands daytime park which is opening in 2026.
Here are just a few pictures of the evening.
