Victorian Village Adventure

Opening in 2027

The story continues…

In 2027, Kynren – The Storied Lands will introduce a major new indoor experience — the Victorian Village adventure (pending planning permission).

Inspired by the extraordinary collection relocated from Flambards Theme Park in Cornwall, this will be a vast and richly detailed world, featuring over 40 authentic shops, homes and scenes — from the corsetiere and milliner to the blacksmith, grocer and cobbler.

Drawn from a collection that has grown over decades and includes thousands of genuine artefacts, the village is remarkable for its authenticity. Many of the shopfronts, interiors and objects are original, carefully sourced and reassembled to reflect everyday life in Victorian Britain.

But this is not a museum.

This is a living, immersive experience.

As you wander through atmospheric streets and alleyways, you’ll encounter a series of character-led scenes and tableaus, each bringing the village to life in unexpected ways. Step inside shops, pause in doorways, and discover stories unfolding around you — from the bustle of the grocer’s store to the quiet moments of domestic life behind closed doors.

Like the Victorian Imaginariums, the experience is designed around exploration, interaction and discovery, allowing guests to move at their own pace and uncover different moments with every visit.

Set entirely indoors, the Victorian Village adventure will offer a completely new dimension to Kynren – The Storied Lands — combining scale, authenticity and storytelling to create one of the most distinctive experiences within the park.
