The New Hanse is an organisation of over 197 towns and cities across northern Europe seeking better economic, social and cultural ties in the spirit of the original Hanse League which brought great prosperity to Boston in the 12th and 13th centuries.
Boston Hanse Group is a group of enthusiastic volunteers and has become a fully constituted organisation. The group is still evolving and with help from Boston Big Local and the Arts Council intend to carry on the work it has started making more of a presence in the town and surrounding Boston Borough areas. By joining the New Hanse there are opportunities to develop tourism, commercial links for Boston businesses through Business Hanse and international links for young people through Youth Hanse.
