Archaeology in Coppergate

Dress up as an archaeologist, dig up replica objects and sieve your soil so that you can uncover more finds to help build a bigger of picture of the stories that archaeology can tell us.

Join us in Coppergate, the site of the famous archaeological excavation of the 1970s that led to the creation of JORVIK Viking Centre, for a host of fun activities showcasing the exciting world of archaeology!

Plus, submit your #ArcheoSelfies to #FestivalofArchaeology and share the fun!

Don’t forget: Pick up a JORVIK Group Pastport and gain access to all 5 York city centre attractions, including JORVIK and DIG – An Archaeological Adventure for 1 great price.

This is a special event for the Festival of British Archaeology
