What's new at Kynren?
Kynren, the acclaimed live-action show brought to you by the charity 11Arches, is embarking on its most ambitious project to date: Kynren – The Storied Lands, a brand-new historical theme park located within the broader Kynren Park in Bishop Auckland.
Set to open in Summer 2026, subject to final planning approval, this exciting daytime attraction will immerse visitors in a time-travelling adventure that brings history, myth, and legend to life.
Unlike traditional theme parks that focus on rides, Kynren – The Storied Lands invites exploration and connection with the past, delivering multiple live action shows featuring heart pounding moments of action, thrilling stunts, incredible performances, immersive storytelling, epic music and innovative technology as it takes visitors on an emotional journey through time.
