Jorvik – 98% of Craftsmen Recommend It!

The city of Jorvik is rebuilding now that Erik Bloodaxe has left, and neighbourhoods like Hungate and Coppergate claim they’re some of the best places to live in the world! From Ireland to Russia, tradesmen and crafters are coming to Jorvik to live and work.

We asked some of them why YOU should come to Jorvik:

– “There’s lots of nice people to meet!”

– “It’s calm here and I feel protected.”

– “There’s lots of farms and blacksmiths, I have everything I need.”

– “It’s amazing!”

– “You can sell stuff and get paid. The people here have a lot of money!”

Do you have a skill we need? Please come and work on our street- you’d be really helpful!
