THE full programme of events for Jolablot 2002, the annual Jorvik Viking Festival in York, has been released.
The event will run from February 9 to 17, with the main focus being the final weekend when the city streets will be full of Vikings, ready for battle.
The festival will also feature a range of other workshop style events to keep the whole family entertained throughout the half term holiday.
Living history displays, saga telling, fringe events, a Viking market and traditional craft demonstrations will all form part of the festivities.
The launch, on February 9, will also coincide with the beginning of Viking Voyagers, a hands-on exhibition at the Jorvik Viking Centre on the theme of ships.
