KING’S LYNN CELEBRATED ITS PROUD TRADING HERITAGE BY HOLDING ITS 12TH ANNUAL HANSE FESTIVAL.
http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/pictures-capture-king-s-lynn-celebrating-trading-heritage-at-hanse-festival-1-5027991
The community turned out to enjoy a range of activities celebrating the town’s link with the Hanseatic League - a trading alliance connecting North Sea ports.


There was Medieval dancing in Stone Hall at the town hall, live music and creative activities for youngsters, which included making a cardboard Hanse ship.

Based in west norfolk, the pirates are happy to roam the seven seas......
