Viking Adventures are for Grownups Too
If you thought that the days of wonderment and adventure ended years ago with the transition into the adult world, then you will be glad to hear that this is certainly not so and I made this heartening discovery whilst on a corporate day out to York. Now, York is a wonderful City and it has a score of fantastic attractions; York Minster Cathedral, The National Railway Museum and York Shambles to name but a few; so imagine my surprise when I found out that we were having a Corporate evening in Jorvik Viking Centre…and that it was my job to make the bookings and arrange accommodation for 20 people!
As it turned out the bookings for Jorvik were easy; I did everything over the phone and it was done within 15 minutes. I next turned my focus to booking a hotels in York for our group. I had an inkling that booking a York hotel for a group of 20 was going to be problematical and pictured a scenario where I would have one group in a hotel in one part of York and the other half of the party in a completely different and far off York hotel. I needn’t have worried though, thanks to internet booking I managed to find a great hotel close to Jorvik, book the entire party in and all within the space of another 15 minutes…brilliant.
So how did the corporate day out to Jorvik go?
Brilliant! We had a choice between an evening viewing of the Viking Centre, an opportunity to take part in a real archaeological dig or a chance to take part in a feast with the Vikings…of course; I opted for the feast immediately, and what a feast it was. The setting was the Merchant Taylor’s hall; one of the finest medieval buildings in Jorvik. There we feasted on fare made from traditional ingredients available to the Vikings (and served by Viking wenches) and were royally entertained by Vikings demonstrating traditional shows of strength, shows of agility and of traditional story telling.
Afterwards, still in a Viking merrymaking mood we repaired to our hotels in York to carry on the evening in the slightly less ‘Viking’ but just as welcoming hotel Bar. Our corporate trip was one of the best that anyone could remember; Vikings feasts, history, great colleagues and a brilliant hotel in York…what more could anyone want?
