A MUSEUM which was blighted by serious flooding in December has proudly reopened its doors after more than £1m of investment.

York Dungeon reopened on Friday, May 13, bringing visitors face to face with the Viking invasion with a new show, Vengeance of the Vikings.

Guests also had an appointment with the Plague Doctor and were then led to meet some of York’s most despicable and murderous rogues from Dick Turpin to Guy Fawkes.

With The York Dungeon now reopened, guests will once again experience the horrible history and frighteningly funny thrills guaranteed upon entry.

Andrew Turner, operations manager at the York Dungeon, said: “It has been great to see such a positive public reaction to the reopening of The York Dungeon today and already the Vikings have made quite an impression on visitors.

“Following the flooding in December we have made in excess of £1m worth of investment into revamping the whole of the York Dungeon – so even those who have been before will have plenty of surprises in store for them.

“Not only do we have a brand new Viking show, but we also have new scripts, sets and state of the art special effects throughout.”
