Kynren Pyromusical promises sparkling addition to North East fireworks displays this November

With the annual run of Kynren now over for the year, the outdoor show's vast site in County Durham is gearing up for its next big night of action.

The Flatts Farm setting in Bishop Auckland, where the Kynren theatrical experience plays out every summer, will once again host a Pyromusical to celebrate Bonfire Night. Billed as the North East’s biggest fireworks spectacular, it will take place on November 2 in the run-up to Bonfire Night, lighting up the night sky above the seven-and-a-half-acre outdoor stage with fireworks synchronised to music from across the past five decades.

This will be the sixth year for the Pyromusical and its 25-minute display is being choreographed by the pyrotechnics team behind the epic fireworks showcase which makes up the grand finale to Kynren performances and has become a highlight of the event. November's Pyromusical will play out in front of the same 8,000-seater tribune auditorium, with Auckland Castle as the backdrop.

We invite audiences, new and returning, to soak up the autumnal spirit, get wrapped up in coats and layers and join us for a memorable evening with family and friends.”
