JORVIK Viking Centre has won the “Best Told Story Award” in VisitEngland's annual visitor attraction accolades. Gareth Henry, head of visitor operations, has called it a testament to the incredibly knowledgeable team at the Centre. Jorvik Viking Centre is host to an immersive experience with the main goal being ‘to tell the story of Norse men and Women’.
The Centre is part of York Archaeology, an independent educational charity which aims to preserve all of York’s history. Gareth Henry says JORVIK is all about using the archaeology of Coppergate to tell the story of its Viking-age inhabitants and that receiving the award from Visit England shows that they are getting this right.
