10 June, 2026
Into the Mystic
Into The Mystic is the first ever feature film based on "The Book of Margery Kempe", a medieval text produced by the Bishop’s (now King's) Lynn mystic. 
Currently in final stages of production in King’s Lynn this summer, it is written, directed and produced by Mirabelle Dominé-Walley and Luke Walker, and is being filmed by a team of Norfolk and London crew and cast. 
It is part drama: adapted from her life at the turn of the c.15 and her meeting with the renowned anchoress, Julian of Norwich; part documentary, featuring Margery, dressed in white, wandering through the early period buildings of King’s Lynn, interspersed with interviews from locals and experts.
