There are several food and drink outlets with outdoor and covered seating across the Kynren site for your group to enjoy, open both during the day and before the night show.

The Time Travellers’ Feast

Make it a night to remember for your group and dine before the drama with our pre-show dining experience, The Time Travellers’ Feast.

Available before Kynren – An Epic Tale of England, join Romans, Tudors and Vikings at the table as live characters, music and theatrical moments set the scene for the night ahead. This is not themed dining — it’s an immersive, character-led experience designed to elevate your Kynren night from the very first moment.

Prepare For All Weather

As an outdoor venue, Kynren performs come rain or shine. Ponchos for guests are available for purchase, but please ensure that your guests know to wear suitable clothing and bring cushions or blankets for added comfort.

Please note: umbrellas are not permitted during performances due to their obstruction of the shows for other visitors. Kynren has never been cancelled due to the weather — the show must go on!
