Kynren, Bishop Auckland live show shortlisted for award

The Bishop Auckland show ‘Kynren – An Epic Tale of England’ has been shortlisted for Best Event for Groups at the Group Leisure and Travel Awards, taking place in October.

The annual awards recognize the best providers, attractions and group travel destinations chosen by their readers.

Kynren has long been popular with group tour operators due to its 8,000-seat grandstand capacity to accommodate large groups, stunning Bishop Auckland location and appealing to visitors of all interests and ages.

Kynren offers special rates for groups of 20 or more, as well as exclusive rates for schools and groups such as scouts and guides.

Anne-Isabelle Daulon, Managing Director of 11Arches said: “We are delighted to be among the finalists for the award.

“One of the most joyful parts of a night out at Kynren is listening to groups return to their mode of transport after a show and compare their favorite scenes. We look forward to another summer full of memories.”

Voting on the awards is open until Sunday 2 July. Kynren faces competition from other high profile events including Royal Ascot, Goodwood Festival and BBC Gardener’s World live.

All finalists were required to receive a nomination before being shortlisted for the final round of voting.
