On arrival you will be greeted by your Viking guide outside the centre, where you will discover how archaeologists made stunning finds in the ground beneath your feet, bringing the hidden remains of the Viking city to light. Next, you will venture deep underground to our Discover Coppergate gallery. Here, at Viking street level, is a spectacular recreation of the archaeological site, with videos and images from the original excavation and a chance to hear the voices of the people who dug here.
Board you time capsule and get ready to experience life in a Viking city for yourself! Our ride features stunning animatronics to bring the residents of Coppergate back to life, complete with sights, sounds and even smells! The street and its inhabitants are recreated from the archaeological finds; audio narration is by a local boy, Toki, who accompanies you for the whole of journey, and acts as your guide to the traders, travellers, storytellers, and priests who mingle in this multicultural city in the year AD960.
Rejoin your Viking guide to explore our artefacts gallery, where you can get up close to finds from the famous Coppergate dig. From personal belongings such as socks and combs, to trade goods like pans and knives, your pupils cam even handle some of the rare finds. Spectacular loans from the British Museum of weaponry from Viking England and treasure from Viking Gotland have been added to the display, providing yet more glimpses into the lives of Vikings, their jobs, pastimes, beliefs and diets.
