WE had heard little snippets about the epic tale of Kynren from family and friends who are taking part in it and also seen the pictures published in The Northern Echo. None of that prepared us for the spectacular evening we had on Saturday, July 20.

As we entered the grounds we felt we had been transported to another place.

What a night - nearly one hour-and-a-half of action, colour, sound, scenery and music.

Volunteers who have become actors, animals who behave on cue and a history lesson.

It was all amazing and created in such a short time. Well done to all. We would certainly go again.
