About York
One of England's great historical cities, York is also a thriving centre for the 21st century. Besides the historic Minster and City Walls, there is so much more to see - historic buildings dating from Roman times and the amazing Jorvik centre. There are great pubs, outstanding dance spots and tremendous shopping.
Whilst Sword Spectacular ticket holders can benefit from free camping at the festival base site, York also has a vast range of accommodation for visitors, ranging from top class hotels to bed and breakfast and budget hostel beds.
