Kynren

Kynren is a history-themed outdoor attraction in Bishop Auckland, County Durham, England. Its principal production, Kynren: An Epic Tale of England, is a live night-time show first staged in 2016 that depicts key moments from British history and legend spanning approximately 2,000 years. The production is staged annually during the summer and is performed by a cast and crew of over 1,000 local volunteers.

It is organised by the charitable organisation 11Arches, founded by multimillionaire philanthropist Jonathan Ruffer, as part of a wider programme of cultural regeneration aimed at establishing Bishop Auckland as an international tourist destination. Following the success of the night show, Kynren: The Storied Lands, a daytime theme park, opened on the same site in summer 2026.
