(ad) Kynren Discount Code
Kynren returns to Bishop Auckland next month and there are lots of exciting plans in place.
2024 will see the RETURN OF THE VIKINGS pre-show experience where visitors can venture into a Viking Village and watch history being brought to life in front of their very eyes as the warriors prepare for battle. All included with your ticket price.
Guests will be able to visit the Blacksmith, Cookhouse and Woodworker’s Cottage as well meeting the animal inhabitants of the village including some Icelandic Chickens before taking their seats for the main Kynren Show.
Exclusive Discount Code
Quote the code NEFF15 when booking tickets to access:
15% off full-price Kynren tickets, excluding VIP.
Valid for bookings made before 31st July 2024. Valid for any Kynren performance which take place on Saturday nights 27th July – 14 September 2024.
Not to be used in conjunction with any other offer.
Limited availability, I recommend booking early so you can reserve a seat closer to the action.
