Give The Vikings a Waterford welcome!

Ireland’s oldest city, founded by Norwegian pirates in 914 is the only city in Ireland with a Viking-derived place name. To celebrate its Viking heritage, Veðrafjǫrðr/Waterford will mount a Festival on Easter Saturday, Sunday and Monday 2018 to act as a flagship event in Ireland’s Ancient East, kick starting the region’s tourism season.

In 2018 the city is celebrating the 1100^th anniversary of the conquest of York (Jorvik) in England by King Reginald of Waterford who when he died in 921 was called King of all the Vikings of England and Ireland. Waterford will welcome Viking Visitors from across Europe for a weekend of great family fun and excitment.
