Bishop Auckland College has yet again kindly made its parking facilities available to our visitors for our 2024 season. No income is passed on to Bishop Auckland College, and all car parking charges paid by our visitors are solely to cover the complex traffic management system across the season. Bishop Auckland College has offered the use of their car park spaces free of charge in order to support us in our goal to make Kynren a sustainable show which can continue for generations to come. We are grateful for Bishop Auckland College’s ongoing support to Kynren.
