点评:Attended to preview show for the start of the 2025 season. Easy to find and easy car parking with helpful guides directing you into place. A short walk from the carpark to the entrance where there is a small gift shop and wide selection of catering and drink stalls. We attended a drinks reception in the Arches Hall which is a beautiful building perfect for receptions, and where you can book a pre show meal during the season. We were given a presentation about the planned new shows and arenas that will open in 2026. The Viking encampment was open for visiting before taking your seat for the main show. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and helped everyone into their seats quickly. The evening started with a preview of the new show for 2026 The Lost Feather , and the audience were amazing by the flying ability of the macaws, parrots , vultures, and storks. It sounds like its going to be an amazing show. the main show started telling a story of the history of England with links to the Bishop Auckland area. There was everything from Vikings, knights, King Arthur, Shakespeare, world wars right up the Spice Girls. Its set in a spectacular setting with a cast of hundreds : dancing singing and telling the stories. Its incredible that everyone are volunteers and give up their time for 9 shows all through the summer, they are true stars. The evening ends with a spectacular firework display and rousing singsong from the audience. Yes it might be a bit twee , some of the stories a bit cheesy and a very romantic image of the history of England but its an incredible show and a great fun evening for all the family. Can't wait to return next year and see the new shows
翻译:参加了 2025 年赛季开始的预演。很容易找到,停车也很方便,有热心的导游指引您前往各个位置。从停车场步行一小段路就到入口,那里有一个小礼品店和各种餐饮和饮料摊位。我们参加了在拱门大厅举行的酒会,这是一座美丽的建筑,非常适合举办招待会,您可以在赛季期间在那里预订演出前的餐食。我们听取了有关计划于 2026 年开放的新表演和竞技场的介绍。维京营地在您入座观看主要表演之前开放参观。每个人都非常友好和热情,并帮助每个人迅速入座。晚会以 2026 年新表演《迷失的羽毛》的预演开始,观众对金刚鹦鹉、鹦鹉、秃鹫和鹳的飞行能力赞叹不已。听起来这将是一场精彩的表演。主要表演开始讲述英国历史并与毕晓普奥克兰地区有关的故事。从维京人、骑士、亚瑟王、莎士比亚、世界大战到辣妹组合,应有尽有。演出场面壮观,数百名演员载歌载舞,讲述着精彩的故事。令人难以置信的是,每个人都是志愿者,整个夏天贡献自己的时间观看九场演出,他们是真正的明星。晚会以壮观的烟火表演和观众热情洋溢的歌声结束。没错,演出可能略显矫揉造作,有些故事略显俗气,英国历史的画面也非常浪漫,但这场演出精彩绝伦,适合全家共享欢乐时光。迫不及待地想明年再来观看新的演出。
