Summer Lates: Blades of the North
Summer Lates: Blades of the North
Join us for a special evening event on Thursday 21 August, as we explore the fearsome world of Viking warriors and their legendary swords.
Led by an expert speaker in the development of swords, Blades of the North offers visitors a rare chance to tour Viking-age Coppergate after hours. Learn about the craftsmanship, symbolism, and battlefield power of Viking blades as you walk through the immersive Viking setting, guided by a knowledgeable guide and brought to life by the characters who once roamed these streets.
Tickets are £25 per person, with timed sessions at 7:00pm, 7:30pm, and 8:00pm.
Pre-booking is essential. Walk-ups will not be admitted, and discounts cannot be applied to this ticket type.
Please arrive 10 minutes before your booking time, and have your ticket ready to be scanned.
Safety notes:
Visitors should also be aware that the floor of Viking-age Coppergate is quite uneven so we would recommend suitable footwear. A virtual tour is available for those who are unsteady on their feet or wheelchair users. This is displayed on a tablet, and is available on request. Unfortunately, the set was designed to be toured in the suspended Time Capsules and is not wheelchair or pushchair friendly.
Please watch this safety video before your visit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PZxcJGk_Yg
Becasue we can only accommodate 1 wheelchair user in the building at a time, please call to book if you use a wheelchair so that we can discuss accessibility with you.
