Kings Lynn WATERFRONT

King's Lynn Hanse Festival 2026

The town of King’s Lynn celebrates its 21st anniversary of becoming a member of THE HANSA

24. May 2026 11:00 AM King's Lynn

Another vibrant, fun and packed programme of events will be happening across King’s Lynn’s South Quay for this unique annual celebration of King’s Lynn’s rich maritime history.

Great activities for children will take place at various locations around the town’s historic riverside area and, once again, there will be something for everyone. With the town parade leading a colourful flag-waving crowd to the Hanse House on the South Quay, there will be a host of family events and activities, music, talks, lively performances from the Lithuanian Dancers and early music performers, boat trips on the Great River Ouse - and the return of the best-dressed pirate competition!

The programme's many delights will be held at the historic King's Lynn Hanse House, Marriotts Warehouse and The Minster for this year's maritime celebration.
