Jorvik Dig

Housed within the 15th-century St. Saviour’s Church, Jorvik Dig offers a hands-on exploration of York’s rich archaeological history. Visitors can engage with four replica excavation pits, each meticulously modeled after real-life digs from different eras. These pits allow participants to uncover replica artifacts from Roman, Viking, medieval, and Victorian times, providing a tangible connection to the city’s past. The interactive experience brings to life the work of local archaeologists and the layers of history that have shaped the York area.
