THE full programme for the 33rd Jorvik Viking Festival has been announced, with the return of much-loved favourites and new events for this year.
The festival takes place from February 20 to 26, and will come just over a month before the long-awaited reopening of the Jorvik Viking Centre, which has been closed since the York floods of a year ago.
Marketing manager Phil Whiting said: “For the last three years, the Jorvik Viking Festival has grown and now draws even larger audiences from across the world, so with Jorvik Viking Centre’s re-opening set for April, we want to make sure that this year’s event is an epic prequel to the story we will tell in the re-imagined Jorvik.”
