A TOWN'S live action night show has been named in a website's top five performance in England to visit this summer.

The website TripAdvisor has listed Kynren - An Epic Tale of England in its ratings.

Based in Bishop Auckland, County Durham, the show boasts five-star reviews, and is proving to be as big a hit as world renowned West End shows, such as The Lion King and Les Miserables, both of which also feature in TripAdvisor’s top-five.

The show, which is set against the backdrop of the historic Auckland Castle, brings 2,000 years of history of the UK and North-East to life in 90 minutes.

It has even outshone performances such as the Phantom of the Opera and War Horse.

This year Kynren focuses on the theme In Remembrance.

It marks two centenaries, the First World War Armistice and the Suffragette Movement winning the vote for women, as well as a World War II commemoration of the Royal Air Force and moments of modern history, such as Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation and England winning the 1966 World Cup.
