JORVIK Viking Festival 2021

Check back soon for the confirmed dates for JORVIK Viking Festival 2021. The theme will be announced later in 2020, with selected tickets going on sale in autumn 2020.

Ticketing

At JORVIK Viking Festival, some events have a fee and are ticketed, and some are free and unticketed.

We do not sell a general ticket for the Festival. Instead, we sell tickets separately for each ticketed event. There is no need to pre-book for free events, or when an event is included within standard admission to one of our venues. You can find out details about each event, including date, time and price, on the event listing.

Several events usually sell out in advance (the Battle Spectacular, Banquet and some other events are already sold out) so we recommend pre-booking any ticketed events you are interested in.

Please note that tickets for events organised by York Archaeological Trust for JORVIK Viking Festival are only available direct from the JORVIK Viking Festival website, or by calling the JORVIK Reservations team. We do not sell tickets to these events through third parties.

So long as an event goes ahead as planned, we do not offer refunds for Festival events.

Awards

We are thrilled to announce that JORVIK Viking Festival 2019 was been awarded Best Festival for Kids by Little Vikings, an award voted for by the public!

JORVIK Viking Festival has also been shortlisted for Event of the Year in the Visit York Tourism Awards 2020.
