Q: Can I film or take photographs at JORVIK?
Visitors to JORVIK Viking Centre are welcome to take photographs and short videos for personal use during their visit, and indeed, we always love to see and share your posts on social media, so do tag us in.
We ask that no flash photography or additional lighting is used within the attraction, and all cameras must be hand-held. Anyone wishing to film/photograph with lighting and/or tripods should contact the marketing team to arrange an out-of-hours visit (for which a fee is payable). Written approval from the marketing department must be sought for any commercial filming within the attraction, for which seven days’ notice is usually required.
We also ask that visitors do not film/share extended videos of the ride – snippets of 30 seconds or less are fine. The ride is an experience where ambient sounds, sounds and smells combine to create a carefully designed immersive adventure, and many visitors enjoy experiencing this for the first time during their visit.
Filming/photography should not delay your progress through the attraction (so standing still whilst a friend films a piece-to-camera would not be permitted), as this will have an impact on the visitors that follow.
Our staff reserve the right at any point to ask visitors to cease filming or photography.
Q: If I have additional questions, how can I get in touch with you?
A: You can email us at [email protected], or call 01904 615505.
