2026 marks 50 years since York Archaeology (then known as York Archaeological Trust) began excavations at 16–22 Coppergate. To celebrate this milestone, join us on Sunday 18th October at Tempest Anderson Hall for this year’s Richard Hall Symposium.

Five years of continuous excavation between 1976 and 1981 uncovered a section of Viking Age York preserved in astonishing detail. The excavation became world famous, drawing visitors from around the world as York Archaeology revealed houses, workshops, backyards, and an unparalleled collection of artefacts and ecofacts.

Join us for a full day of presentations and discussion exploring 50 years of research and the questions that continue to shape our understanding of Viking Age York, with tea and coffee refreshments provided throughout the day.
