Spend Your Evening Living Like A Peaky Blinder At These Events

It's safe to say that the last series of Peaky Blinders was somewhat of a success. The biggest series yet saw star turns from Tom Hardy, Adrien Brody, and - of course - Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby.

The only downside is that they're not bringing out another series now until 2019 - which, you may have noticed, is basically a whole year away. Damn.

However, there are still a whole heap of ways you can get your post-war gangster fix if you fancy it.

There are bars popping up all around the country with a Peaky Blinders theme, and you can also catch all of the seasons apart from the one that finished at the end of last year on Netflix, so you could just ration yourself over the course of the next 12 months or so.

Failing that, there's a new way to indulge your Shelby Company Ltd fantasies. You can even get dressed up in your big coats and cloth caps for it.

Black Country Living Museum

The Black Country Living Museum is bringing back its popular Peaky Blinders themed nights to offer you a chance to actually live like the Shelbys do - for a night at least.

The museum acts as a set for some of the series and even houses The Garrison pub that features heavily throughout the massively popular BBC drama.

Visitors will be able to sit and have a pint of real ale in Tommy's pub - which will presumably not get bombed out as it did in the series.

They're laying on live music, Peaky Blinders themed immersive theatre (which will apparently include bar fights and gang warfare), and similarly themed cocktails for the evenings.

Charlie's Yard - another location that features heavily in the show - will also be at the museum. Those attending will be able to take a wander around Birmingham's canal network and see how the Blinders used the maze to move guns and other illegal goods around the city.

PA

The events will take place over two weekends next autumn, on September 7^th and 8^th, and 14^th and 15^th between the hours of 7pm and 10:30pm.

You'd better be quick, though, as the last time the museum (which is in Dudley - between Birmingham and Wolverhampton) ran anything like this the tickets sold out within 24 hours.

The price of the event is likely to be around £17 and you can get them from 10am on February 1^st from the Black Country Living Museum website. It's adults only, obviously.

Members of the museum can book in advance and get a 20% discount.
