Overview

5 images

The exhilarating spectacular that is the Jorvik Viking Festival is coming to town for its 27th year.

The Festival, which will run from 11th - 18th February 2012, has become something of an institution in York, attracting crowds in excess of 40,000 visitors every year.

With a vast array of events taking place over the course of the Festival, it caters for audiences of all ages and abilities.

Whats more, many of the activities are free of charge. You can wonder through the Viking market, meet the Vikings of Coppergate, chat to archaeologists about the latest excavation finds in the city, take part in a Viking battle drill, join organised walks and explore Yorks Scandinavian past.

Other highlights for 2012 include:

Martin Simpson Trio & Enkelit

We're very pleased to welcome this multiple BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards winner back to the National Centre for Early music for an evening of sensational folk music, accompanied by Andy Cutting on melodeon and Andy Seward on double bass. Supported by the magical voices of Enkelit, this promises to be an event to remember! Having performed at NCEM to a sell-out audience, Martin is sure to be a popular addition to the 2012 Viking festival.

The Vikings' Song - A Quest for Freedom

A fantastic chance to see a unique performance! Adapted from children's author Peter Ward's Viking Trilogy with an eclectic mix of music composed by Early Music specialist Michael Fields, combined with a dynamic young cast from York St John University and authentic reproductions of Viking instruments, this Viking musical promises to be an exciting addition to the 27th annual Jorvik Viking Festival.
