A seasonal historical theme park has submitted plans which it hopes will help it become a year-round tourist destination. Proposals for Binchester Earth, a new attraction beside the Roman fort in County Durham, have been drawn up as part of plans to expand Bishop Auckland's Kynren site. The live-action show, which tells the story of England through 2,000 years, has recently expanded to include a day time attraction. According to the plans, Binchester Earth would include a welcome and discovery centre and children's play area, along with a programme of annual special events. Developers said it would complement the recently expanded Kynren which opened earlier this month with The Storied Lands new day park.
