That JORVIK Viking Thing will take place from 15 – 20 February 2021 and features chart-topping music, livestreamed events for all ages, virtual tours and the first ever 360 degree immersive video of JORVIK Viking Centre’s world-famous ride through Viking-age York.
School’s Week, which runs from 8-12 February, and offers free content, including twice daily livestreamed presentations, for schools and home educators across the world. “The New Year is normally a busy time for school visits, so if schools can’t come to us, we’ll bring the Vikings to them,” comments interpretation and engagement manager, Frances Bennett. “The livestreamed sessions are shorter versions of our paid-for Virtual Outreach sessions, which have enabled us to continue supporting schools in their studies of the Vikings, medieval medicine and archaeology throughout the pandemic.
