DAY OF THE HANSA: Merchants and Pilgrims Route
New Merchant and Pilgrim rural walk held during this year of celebrations in King’s Lynn's links to the Hanseatic League
16. May 2025
King's Lynn
King’s Lynn
The Merchant and Pilgrim walk is in memory of Kit Hesketh-Harvey, much loved cabaret performer and local celebrity champion of the arts, but also to mark a year of celebrations in King’s Lynn for the Hanseatic League, trade from which once made Lynn one of the most important ports in the country. This launch event is a taste of the longer, 70 mile, "Merchants and Mindfulness" route which will be opened in the summer.
Walkers are to meet at 10am at All Saints Church, Stoke Ferry, where The Lady Dannatt, HM Lord-Lieutenant of Norfolk, will launch our new route.
Pilgrims on the walk of May 16 are asked to donate a minimum of £25 pounds towards the repairs of All Saints Church, Stoke Ferry.
