Peaky Blinders Nights

Grab your flatcap and don your finest threads for a night of fun and revelry as you explore the Museum and step into the smoky underworld of the 1920s.

Take a stroll around the Museum’s streets and alleys but watch your step – you never know who might be lurking around the corner. Keep your wits about you as pockets of live scenes bring the razor blade gang to life before your eyes as you encounter some of Birmingham’s most notorious gangs.

The shop front of Gregory's general store at Black Country Living Museum. Red and green painted windows display a range of foods and chistmas decorations. A young white man in a white apron and edwardian clothing stands in the doorway. There are Christmas trees and crates of vegetables stacked outside.
