Kynren – an epic spectacle
Kynren is an outdoor spectacle of epic proportions, which bursts into the summer night sky in the unlikely location of the small County Durham town of Bishop Auckland, in Northern England.
Eccentric England is at the every heart of my blog. From the quirky and unusual Wakefield Rhubarb Festival and the fabulous Potfest in the Park to the most luxury accommodation like Hillside Huts and Cabins and the gorgeous brand new eco house Hemmel House in Northumberland. Check out walking suggestion in and around the North East like Seaton Sluice beach walk and the Lambton estate in Durham. Don’t miss my Scottish blogs like my cycling challenge around Arran or my Welsh trip to the beaches of The Gower Peninsula. Or why not try a visit on horseback to the impressive Castle Leslie in Ireland. Our country has so much to offer and I never tire of exploring new places and meeting new people who live in our awesome UK!
Heartbreak Productions goes Wilde!

Lumley Castle Hotel
Lumley Castle Hotel is set in a real medieval castle. It looks over the river Wear in the Durham countryside in the North East of England.
Murder on the Terrace
This year’s play coming to my local park Jesmond Dene is Murder on the Terrace. It is a brand new spoof murder mystery written by Heartbreak Productions resident wordsmith, David Kerby-Kendall.
The Somme – 1418NOW
