Kynren’s Lost Feather bird show arena set for Bishop Auckland

The ‘Lost Feather’ is a bird’s-nest-inspired structure is aiming to be a UK-first mass experience with more than 250 birds.

Birds will perform across the arena, which is being developed by leading avian specialists and will also include a lake and a hillside stage. It is part of Kynren’s Storied Lands theme park, which is set to open this year.

Anna Warnecke, the chief executive of Kynren, said: “The Lost Feather represents one of the boldest creative statements we have ever made.

“What is now rising from the ground is more than an arena – it is a space designed to move people emotionally and leave a lasting impression.”

The project comes with a focus on educating the audience about conservation and the relationship between humans and birds.

The production plans to increase public understanding of the need to protect bird species both locally and globally.

With their experience in conservation organisations and free-flight programmes, the specialists are ensuring the attraction is more than just a performance space.

The Lost Feather will form part of Phase One of The Storied Lands.

The extension will also host other live-action shows, including a medieval horse show, a Viking show, and ‘Legend of the Wear’, a retelling of the Lambton Worm myth.
