Kynren – an epic tale of England

We are 11Arches, the producers of multi award-winning Kynren – an epic tale of England; and operators of 11Arches Park, the newest theme park in the UK.

Launched in 2016, Kynren is the biggest live production in the UK and is presented on a 7.5 acre stage of land and water with a cast and crew of 1,000 professionally trained volunteers. It was created with Puy du Fou as our artistic partner in its first season and has grown independently since, achieving a Certificate of Excellence and “Top 5 Performances to see in the UK” in Trip Advisor.

This Summer we launch 11Arches Park, a ride-free theme park with more epic journeys through time through live action shows and immersive attractions, following the footsteps of Puy du Fou, winners of 'best park in the world'. With a soft launch of 6 days this Summer due to the pandemic, 11Arches Park will move to an all Summer and a Christmas Season opening starting in 2022, alongside its popular Pyromusical, the biggest in the North East of England.

The onsite production team is expanding rapidly as a result of our growth plans, and we are looking to build a full team fit for year-long operations. We are looking for:

These are permanent full-time positions for a start asap, offering the successful candidates an incredibly rewarding career in an inspiring, ambitious and unique start up, working in the fast-moving, often unpredictable, high-octane environment.

Given the nature of the industry, working hours will be varied across the year, during pre-production, seasonal opening and post-production, including working evening and weekends with time off in lieu.

In return, as well as being a vital part of a life-enhancing adventure, we are offering an extremely competitive salary package, dependent on experience, and benefits.

Our base is Bishop Auckland in picturesque County Durham, 20 minutes from Durham and Darlington mainline stations with Newcastle, Teesdale, Weardale and the Yorkshire Dales within commuting distance. It’s a great place to live and work.

If you love the thrill of spinning plates, want to get involved with live production and are unflappable under pressure, we’d love to hear from you.

11Arches is an equal opportunity employer regardless of race, colour, religion, creed, sex, marital status, national origin, disability, age, sexual orientation, political affiliation or belief.
