Jorvik Viking Festival is up for an award! ๐This is one beast of an event to plan and run, and it's been a joy to see all the positive feedback flood in. If you wanted to cast your vote in support, that would be amazing! ๐ชhttps://t.co/koJXMuiGRb
Professional advice I think about a lot...In a new role, I began to introduce myself as the new *predecessors name*. My boss stopped me and said 'No, you are you, don't try to be anyone else. Do things your way.' Empowering staff from day one. 4 years on and still helps me.
Working at the @Royal_Armouries has been such a joyful adventure thanks to the amazing people who keep delivering outstanding education experiences and unbelievable events. But the time has come for me to sail to the next chapter on my metaphoric longboat... ๐ก๐ช๐ก๐
For 15th October's #InternationalArchaeologyDay, this week our Assistant Curator โ Joseph Murray โ will be highlighting items from our archaeology collection.
Joseph has worked as an archaeologist across the UK - here he is on his very first dig complete with hat!

Tomorrow is the last day of the @Royal_Armouries Elizabethan Joust. Nemo here is a bit of an unsung hero. He guards the stables during shows and is of course ready to joust if any horse should need a rest! ๐๐ก๐ก
Times of horse shows for Friday 26th August.
We're getting everything ready for our Joust Tournament taking place over the bank holiday so our horse shows will be at 11am and 2pm today.
We had a great time at the Keighley Transport Festival today and weโll be back on Friday afternoon from 12 delivering more free canoe taster sessions @CRTYorkshireNE
