Award-winning outdoor epic Kynren is promising "six spectacular performances of Kynren" as it prepares for its return to County Durham next month.
The showpiece event, full name Kynren - an epic tale of England, had a special early outing in June with a one-off production to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee weekend. And this treat for spectators included such extras as a pre-show concert of live jazz on the lake and a rousing singalong of God Save The Queen.
Now it is preparing to make a comeback on August 6 for its usual summer night run, with the action playing out on its giant outdoor stage at Bishop Auckland on Saturday nights until September 10. Produced by 11Arches, a charity, Kynren rockets through 2,000 years of history with colourful set pieces ranging from charging jousters on horseback to invading Vikings in longboats and from major battle scenes to local industrial achievements.
