TRINITY SQUARECOLOUR ME IN!

Trinity Square will be transformed into a medieval marketplace outside Hull’s own medieval Minster.

Hull’s first Mayor was appointed in 1332 just as the Hanseatic League was at its most active. This year, we’ll be celebrating this connection and the newly appointed Lord Mayor of Kingston upon Hull with an event spanning the city centre.

Spend time in Queen Victoria Square where you’ll find our stage filled with performances of song, dance and spoken word and learn more about our Northern European neighbours. There will also be craft activities so you can make something to wear as part of the Parade!

That’s right! We’ll be celebrating our newly appointed Lord Mayor and our city’s trading history with a colourful parade through the city centre. Join us or line the streets and watch us, but come and enjoy the day.

Did you know...

n the mid-13th century, seafaring merchants from across Northern Europe joined together to form the Hanseatic League as a way to pursue their shared economic

interests. Throughout the North Sea and Baltic Sea region, up to 200 towns and cities were members of the League. Hull was one of several associated trading cities in the United Kingdom, exporting items such as wool, cloth and salt. Some days, up to a dozen ships arrived into Hull with imported timber, canvas, furs, iron, flax and pitch.

The League was at its height in the mid-14th century. An influential wool merchant at this time was William de la Pole who became the first Mayor of Hull. William was already a significant figure as he contributed financially to the fortification of the city and became a key money lender to King Edward III.

The League disbanded in 17th century but reformed as a cultural alliance in 1980, with Hull rejoining in 2012 alongside Kings Lynn, Ipswich and Boston.
