Kynren – An Epic Tale of England is set within beautifully landscaped grounds at the foot of the hill where the historic Auckland Palace stands. This breathtaking location provides the perfect backdrop for the performance that brings to life stories deeply rooted in the castle, the land, and the nearby River Wear. The purpose-built setting enhances this connection, blending natural beauty with a rich tapestry of history and storytelling
The Tribune is our impressive seating area for Kynren, and Pyromusical, with a capacity to accommodate up to 8,000 spectators. Designed to offer an unforgettable viewing experience, the Tribune features 41 rows of standard raked seats, with shallow steps leading to the different sections.
We offer two types of seats:
- VIP Seats: Padded seats with backrests and wider dimensions for greater comfort, located in the very center of the Tribune.
- Deluxe, Superior and Standard Seats: Plastic, raked stadium-style seating with a backrest, offering excellent views from every angle.
All seats provide unobstructed views of the panoramic stage, ensuring every visitor has a spectacular experience. Much like a cinema, the location of your seat offers a unique perspective on the show, but rest assured, the magic of the performance remains the same for all.
