Loved the show, great story telling, lighting, fireworks, the moving stage parts. Don't want to spoil it by saying too much but definitely a great experience and worth every penny to watch. Some more about the the place, we arrived early, 5:45pm, zero problems parking, lots of staff around to help. We chose to walk down from the car park, there is busses available but the scenery is fantastic and it's a nice stroll. Getting in took a few minutes for us but the crowds do build the later you arrive. We headed straight for food, again very short queue wait time. Limited food and drinks menu but what we did buy was nice, Sausage in a bun, 2 chips, curry and rice. Couple of waters, pop and red wine came to around PS35. Viking village was next and I wish we had went straight there, if you do go, best to get in as early as you can as the queue is long. Another fantastic addition, the people playing the vikings are engaging and funny, plenty of chances for photos. Not a negative as it's unavoidable but if you're in a hurry to leave, you'll be disappointed.

Fantastic experience. Really enjoyed the village and food even before the show started. Few things to note... Very fairly priced food and drinks and good portion size. It gets cold so bring warm things like a blanket, hat and gloves etc. Getting out took well over an hour, including the queue for the bus, and to leave the car park, so be prepared for a wait to get home. Staff and performers (including the animals) were fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit!

I don't know how they did it. Everything is so well organised. The food is really good (recommend the Gourmet sausage) the Staff are lovely, the show itself is a spectacle and almost brought me to tears. The actors, the animals, so well trained and drilled. This is pure performance, and a beautifully told story that encapsulates the history of England.

If there is one thing you do this summer and that is to attend Kynren. It is a spectacular experience that allows you to see England through the ages in particular in Bishop Auckland. Complete with farmyard actors, horses, fire, fireworks, water scenes. It's an amazing experience worth going to. I'm surprised that I have not come across something like this in the South of England. Truly spectacular!

Amazing experience. I have been wanting to see Kynren for years and it was definitely worth the wait. Got there a little earlier and had some food and drink, which is all reasonably priced. We also enjoyed walking through the viking village. The show itself is amazing. The music, lighting, and effects are second to none, I have to say one of my highlights was the horses and there riders absolutely outstanding. Everyone involved with the show is what makes it five star.

An epic production involving hundreds of actors, incredible effects, music, lighting, props, and horses jumping over fire, a chap dragged by horses and fiery arrows. Incredible. The food hall was super well organised and such great volunteers helping and pointing the way in the site. The only downside was too much of a queue to see the viking village and a bit of a queue to walk out after. Such a fab experience. Highly recommend!
