HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS

 

Kynren   |   Durham   |   Newcastle

 

DAY ONE - Arrival

We depart your home and travel to Newcastle and the wonderful Copthorne Hotel, on the banks of the river. Time to relax before dinner this evening.

 

DAY TWO – Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Kynren

Today, we enjoy the day at leisure in Newcastle Upon Tyne. Just a short walk from the hotel are bars, restaurants, and the famous Quayside where you could enjoy a river cruise on the Tyne. The city centre isn’t far away either, with plenty of shopping or places to visit. Later, we return to the hotel for an early dinner before heading to Bishop Auckland where we join Kynren – an epic tale of England.

 

**Kynren is an outdoor show, so it is important that passengers bring appropriate clothing for the weather. Umbrellas are not allowed**

 

Taking place on a vast landscaped stage with a huge lake at its centre hiding a host of surprises, you’ll meet many of the characters and events that have shaped England.

 

With 29 scenes encompassing the Roman occupation to World War II, history will unfold in front of your eyes, thanks to a cast and crew of almost 1,500 performing on a vast open-air stage. The scale of the show must be seen to be believed.

 

Spectacular sets appearing as if by magic, mass choreography and fierce battles are illuminated with dazzling special effects, effervescent lighting, and pyrotechnics, set to a spine-tingling original score which you’ll experience in movie-like surround sound.
