How to Book
1. Choose the elements you want to include in your attractions visit and contact our Reservations team by completing the School Visits enquiry form
Make sure you give us your preferred dates and times of your visit ready to check for availability. Please also let us know how many and the age of your pupils . If you have any special education needs they might have please let us know so we can meet your requirements.
Please note: We recommend that all teachers/administrators making a booking enquiry provide at least six weeks’ notice in advance of your preferred date. Although we always do our best to accommodate your group’s requirements, you may find booking enquiries that fall under this six-week threshold do not have appropriate visit time slots available for your required dates.
2. Remember to book any extras to make your visit run smoothly.
Let our Reservations team know if you plan to reserve a lunch space or pre-order Souvenir Packs (PDF, 1 MB). You can also hire a Loan Box to pick up on the day of your visit and use it to support your learning back in school.
3. Our Reservations team will offer you a schedule incorporating all the elements you need for a successful day.
Once our Reservations team offers you a schedule you wish to accept, we are grateful if you can confirm your acceptance in writing within three working days to guarantee that the offered schedule is available.
You will then be provided with a confirmation form and the time slots for your itinerary will be booked on our system – please have full contact details for your school/organisation available at this point.
No payment will be taken at this time unless you wish to pay in advance.
4. Check through your confirmation paperwork to ensure the details are correct and provide us with any additional information about your group.
Return the paperwork via email to [email protected] or post it to us: Reservations Department, JORVIK Viking Centre, 19 Coppergate Walk, York, YO1 9WT.
5. Ask our Reservations team to organise a teacher familiarisation visit to allow you and your colleagues to tour the attractions free of charge.
Our team will be happy to answer any questions you might have about your trip and you can familiarise yourself with the locations of our workshops and facilities.
6. Count down to the big day and enjoy your visit! We hope that you will find organising your visit well in advance will give you peace of mind and allow your class to have a great educational experience with York Archaeology Learning.
