Summer Lates: Weapons and Warfare
Summer Lates: Weapons and Warfare
Join us on Thursday 28 August for an after-hours journey into the brutal and brilliant world of Viking combat.
Weapons and Warfare offers a special chance to explore Viking-age Coppergate in the evening, led by a knowledgeable guide and followed by a talk from an expert speaker in Viking warfare. Discover how Viking warriors prepared for battle, the weapons they wielded, and the tactics that helped them dominate across Europe - from fearsome axes to disciplined shield walls.
This is a must for anyone fascinated by the strength, strategy, and sheer grit of the Viking age.
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.
