After years of planning, design and construction, Kynren – The Storied Lands one of the country's most ambitious new visitor attractions Is a must to visit

Created by the team behind the award-winning Kynren – An Epic Tale of England, the new daytime attraction transforms a 150-acre site in Bishop Auckland into a series of immersive worlds where history, myth and legend are brought to life through live performance, spectacular sets, music, animals and storytelling.

Visitors will experience five large scale productions; each staged in its own purpose-built performance space.

The Lost Feather is a unique free flight bird experience featuring sea eagles, vultures, African crowned cranes, macaws, owls and many other species flying overhead while exploring humanity's relationship with birds and the natural world.

Land of the Vikings, where visitors explore a recreated Norse settlement before witnessing an action-packed live show of fire and battle.

The Trusty Steed, celebrating the remarkable partnership between horse and rider through stunt riding and horsemanship.

Legend of the Wear, a dramatic lakeside retelling of the Lambton Worm.

Victorian Imaginariums, an outdoor world inspired by invention, curiosity and imagination; and

Two of the productions, The Lost Feather and Legend of the Wear, feature original musical scores recorded by the BBC Concert Orchestra.


The Lost Feather has been developed under the direction of Curator of Birds and Conservation Jimmy Robinson, whose team has created one of the UK's largest free flight bird experiences.

“Every bird in The Lost Feather is an ambassador for its species,” said Jimmy.

“We hope visitors leave amazed by their beauty and inspired to care about the incredible wildlife we share our planet with.

“Watching sea eagles, vultures, crowned cranes, macaws and owls soaring freely above the audience is a truly unforgettable experience, but at its heart the show is about celebrating our relationship with birds and why conservation matters.”

Kynren – The Storied Lands builds on the success of Kynren – An Epic Tale of England, which has become one of the UK's leading outdoor live shows since its debut in 2016.

The evening spectacular is staged every Saturday throughout the summer, together with additional performances on Friday 21 August and Friday 4 September, allowing visitors to combine both attractions in a full day and evening experience.


Kynren – The Storied Lands is open until 12 September, Tuesday to Sunday. Visitors receive a personalised itinerary to ensure they experience all five live productions during their visit.
