Taking its lead from the Puy du Fou theme park in France, the Eleven Arches project will put history at the forefront of live shows – the largest open-air performances in the UK since the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony
Plans for the UK’s newest tourist attraction were unveiled this week: an epic live show that will be the largest open-air performance staged in the country since the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony.
From June 2016, the grounds of Auckland Castle, County Durham, will host the Eleven Arches project – a spectacular night show bringing to life 2,000 years of Britain’s history with a cast and crew of 1,000 professionally trained volunteers.
