The Kynren OR County Durham Explorer: Leonardo Hotel, Middleborough
Saturday 13th September 2025 - Sunday 14th September 2025
Hooray! After receiving AMAZING feedback from our last visit, we are off to see the Kynren again in September 2025! Be sure to join us - it’s THE highlight of the year!
Be dazzled by the sights, sounds, special effects, pyrotechnics and over 1000 cast (including some very funny geese) as night falls to create a magical atmosphere whilst telling the story of our shared history from King Arthur through to Queen Victoria.
The Kynren is a bucket list experience and has the community spirit that makes you want to move to Bishop Auckland and join the cast yourself! Ask anyone who has been: this five-star production is just wonderful and should not be missed. Young or old, are you ready to be WOWED?
(It is an open air performance and inclement weather is possible so please remember to pack a waterproof just in case - the show ALWAYS goes on!)
The modern 4**** Leonardo Hotel is your overnight host with a delicious dinner and hearty breakfast included. Highly recommended (and with glowing rave reviews) your stay at the hotel includes a hotel room equipped with the Leonardo signature DREAM bed ensuring a restful night's sleep. Your room will also be equipped with a flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, and an en-suite bathroom complete with complimentary toiletries and fresh towels.
Why not take an early morning splash in the indoor pool too before enjoying the sauna and steam room to refresh you for your exciting day ahead? The perfect way to start your day!
Itinerary:
Outbound, we stop in Ripon: a charming little town with quaint cobbled streets. Admire the ancient cathedral before perusing the quirky market and having a spot of lunch in one of the many lovely cafes.
Those heading to The Kynren Show will depart early to make sure you can get settled into your seats. Dinner will be earlier than the other passengers who are not attending the show.
If you are not attending the show, your time is your own for the evening!
After breakfast on the Sunday, we take to the roads for a trip to the pretty town of Bishop Auckland where you will discover the many delights of the Aukland Project. Visit the beautiful Palace and Gardens, the stunning Spanish Art Gallery or, our favourite, the fabulous mining museum (admission is not included). As we board our coach home, don’t forget to grab a bite to eat before we take the scenic route home.
