Eleven Arches – the £31m (US$47.4m, €42.9m) live-action show in partnership with the creators of Puy du Fou which is coming to the UK in June 2016 – will be known as ‘Kynren – an epic tale of England’, Attractions Management can reveal.

“The name ‘Kynren’, echoes the Anglo Saxon word ‘cynren’ meaning ‘generation, kindred, family’,” said Claire Byers, marketing and communications director for Eleven Arches, speaking to Attractions Management.

“We feel it’s a fitting name for a story that is about a heritage that spans multiple generations – including Anglo Saxon times. Generations of volunteers will also be involved in the years to come and the experience will be shared by audiences of all ages.”

Eleven Arches will premiere 'Kynren – an epic tale of England’ on 2 July 2016, presenting 2,000 years of British history through the eyes of the north east of England. Tickets for the experience – set to be performed on a 7.5-acre (30,350sq m) open-air stage overlooked by Auckland Castle to an audience of 8,000 people a night – are expected to go on sale from mid-November.
