Jorvik Viking Centre

Discover Viking York

The Jorvik Viking Centre offers one of the most popular family days out in York, having already welcomed over 14 million visitors over the past 21 years. Come along to discover exactly what the Vikings looked like, what they wore and how they lived hundreds of years ago.

Living History

Housing as many as 40,000 ancient Viking objects that were found during the Coppergate excavations of 1979-81 by the York Archaeological Trust, the Centre will take you back as far as the 10th Century A.D. Visitors are able to experience the magic of walking through the reconstruction of Viking-Age streets, in order to experience fully the atmosphere of the Viking era.

View three exciting exhibitions within the Centre, see how the Vikings made use of materials such as wood, leather and cloth, and even enjoy the chance to meet a real ‘Viking’...
