Peaky Blinders is set in Birmingham, but most of it was filmed somewhere else. The Shelby streets were built from Liverpool terraces, the horse fair was in a Manchester swimming baths, and Tommy's manor is in Cheshire. The one place that really is the home of the show is the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley. This guide sorts the locations you can visit, from Birmingham and the Black Country to Liverpool, Manchester and Cheshire, and says where a place is a private home, a closed building or only open in the season.

Opening times and prices change, and some of the listings we found are older, so check each official website before you go.

The short version

  • Best for a weekend: Birmingham and Dudley. Digbeth, the New Street mural and a walking tour on one day, the Black Country Living Museum on the next.
  • Best for a day out from Greater Manchester: Arley Hall in Cheshire, Manchester's Northern Quarter and Victoria Baths in season, then Liverpool and the Wirral on another day.
  • Best for fans of the 2026 film: Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man was filmed in the Black Country, Liverpool, Manchester and Yorkshire, so the same route works.
  • Be realistic about: the Garrison pub. It is based on a real pub in Small Heath, but it has been empty for years and you cannot go in.
  • Book ahead: Peaky Blinders Nights at the museum, and any guided tour.

Birmingham

Birmingham is where the show is set and where much of the 2026 film was made, but the city centre is mostly about atmosphere, murals and a good pub rather than famous sets.

  • Digbeth: the creative quarter east of the centre, with graffiti of the gang on its walls. The main production hub for the film, Digbeth Loc. Studios, is here, although the studio itself is not open to the public. The Custard Factory is a good place to wander.
  • The New Street Station mural: a 50-metre mural by Jon Jones, made from police records, mugshots and archive material, showing the cast.
  • The Old Crown, Digbeth: dates from 1368 and is described as the oldest secular building in Birmingham. It was not in the show, but one guide says it is reportedly built over a secret tunnel that gangsters may have used. It is the starting point for some of the tours below.
  • The Peaky Blinder pub, Dale End: staff and customers dress in 1920s style and serve period drinks, including a Peaky Blinder cocktail. One guide says children are not allowed and there is no WiFi, and another says it holds monthly themed nights. It is a lively choice for a weekend night out.
  • The Garrison: the pub in Small Heath that inspired the Garrison Tavern in the show. It is not a filming location, and it has been empty for years, so you cannot visit it.
  • Gas Street Basin: a canal location in the city centre that appears in the 2026 film.

Tours in Birmingham

  • Birmingham Slogging Gangs walking tour: a two-hour walk on the real gangs of Park Street and the Gun Quarter, with two pub stops, from £20 per person. A hotel guide listed it as starting at Costa Coffee on Aston Street, but check the current meeting point when you book.
  • The Real Peaky Blinders tour with Professor Carl Chinn: a walking tour of Digbeth starting in the back room of the Old Crown, led by a social historian. One listing gave an evening version at £25 early bird and £35 standard, with a sit-down meal, over four hours, and it was for over-18s. That listing said the event had already taken place, so look at the current dates before you plan around it.
  • Escape Live: an escape room company that has run a Peaky Blinders event, with prices from £35 per person.
  • Tipsy Blinder tour on Viator: you can look at a Tipsy Blinder tour in Birmingham on Viator. The name suggests a drinks-themed tour, so check what is included, the route, the duration and any age limit before you book.

The Black Country Living Museum, Dudley

This is the one to prioritise. The open-air museum recreates a 1920s industrial community and has appeared across all six series of the show, and the screenwriter Steven Knight has called it the series' "home". It is in Dudley, outside Birmingham city centre, at Discovery Way, DY1 4AL.

  • What you will recognise: Charlie Strong's scrap yard, the Boat Dock where the Shelby horses are stabled, the Blacksmith's forge, Canal Street Bridge where Ada meets Freddie Thorne in series one, and the Worker's Institute, which was an armoured-vehicle warehouse in series three. Other guides mention the Rolling Mill and the Chainmaker's.
  • Eat and drink: one guide recommends the fish and chips cooked in beef dripping and an ale at the Bottle and Glass.
  • Peaky Blinders Nights: the museum has held themed evenings for over-16s on 14 March, 26 September and 14 November 2026. The next date on that list is 14 November, so book through the museum's website if you want to go.
  • Opening times: one listing says open daily from 10am to 5pm, but the museum changes its hours by season, so check before you travel.
  • Price: one older guide gave adult admission at £19.95. We could not find the current 2026 price, so check the museum's own site.
  • Getting there: there is on-site parking, with a charge, and electric car charging points.
  • Nearby: the Dudley Canal and its underground canal tours, and the Bumble Hole and Warrens Hall nature reserves, all of which appear in the 2026 film.

Liverpool and the Wirral

A lot of Tommy's Birmingham was really Liverpool, and most of it is a short trip from Manchester.

  • St George's Hall and William Brown Street: the gang filmed in this neoclassical area, and the hall is listed as a location for the film. Guided tours include the Concert Room and the prison cells.
  • Powis Street, Toxteth: the Welsh Streets terraces, including Powis Street, were built up to stand in for Watery Lane, Tommy's home in series one to three. The streets have been converted into family homes since, so it is a street to see quietly, not a visitor attraction.
  • Port Sunlight, Wirral: the village where Aunt Polly's Tudor-style houses were filmed. It is open year-round, and you can pick up self-guided tour maps at Port Sunlight Museum.
  • Formby Beach: a National Trust beach near Liverpool, and the site of Tommy's confrontation with Alfie Solomons at the end of season four.
  • A Liverpool walking tour: if you would rather have a guide, there is a Peaky Blinders walking tour of Liverpool on Viator. Check the route and duration on the listing, since we could not confirm them.

Manchester and Cheshire

  • Victoria Baths, Manchester: the former swimming baths doubled as the horse fair where Tommy meets May, with sawdust laid over one pool. It is a Grade II listed building with guided tours that can be booked. One guide says it is open from March to November, so check whether it is open for your date.
  • The Northern Quarter, Manchester: many of Tommy's running gun battles were filmed here, and it is free to wander.
  • Stockport Plaza: stood in for Bingley Hall in Birmingham, where Oswald Mosley gives a speech in series five. You can see a show there or have a coffee in the café.
  • Rochdale Town Hall: the parliament scenes. An older guide said it was closed for renovation, so check its current status on the council website.
  • Arley Hall and Gardens, near Northwich: Tommy Shelby's manor house, where the showdown with Alfie Solomons in series three was filmed. The library is Tommy's study. It is open through the year, but check the opening times.
  • Hawthorn Bank Cottage, Tatton Estate: Arthur Shelby's cottage is a holiday rental, so you can stay there. It is well placed for Manchester, Liverpool and the Wirral.

Yorkshire and further afield

  • Little Germany, Bradford: the Shelby brothers' warehouse was filmed in this historic district, and the film crew shot here in 2024.
  • Keighley and Worth Valley Railway: this heritage railway in West Yorkshire was used for the show's train scenes.
  • Calke Abbey, Derbyshire: a National Trust house with peeling wallpaper and abandoned rooms, used for Tommy's country house in the film. A walking trail is available.
  • Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, north Wales: a dramatic gang scene in the film. You can walk or canoe across it.
  • Portsoy, Scotland: this Aberdeenshire harbour town became Miquelon Island in series six.

Ideas for a trip

A weekend in Birmingham. Spend the first day in the city: the New Street mural, Digbeth and a walking tour, then a drink at the Peaky Blinder pub or the Old Crown. Spend the second day at the Black Country Living Museum.

A day from Greater Manchester. Start in the Northern Quarter, then drive to Arley Hall in Cheshire. If Victoria Baths is open, add it for a guided tour.

A Liverpool and Wirral day. St George's Hall in the morning, then Port Sunlight, and finish at Formby Beach if the weather is kind.

For the film. The Immortal Man's locations overlap with the above: the Black Country, Gas Street Basin, St George's Hall, Calke Abbey and Little Germany.

What it costs

  • Birmingham Slogging Gangs walking tour: from £20 per person (older hotel guide)
  • Real Peaky Blinders evening tour with Carl Chinn: £25 early bird, £35 standard (event listing that had already taken place)
  • Escape Live Peaky Blinders event: from £35 per person
  • Black Country Living Museum: £19.95 adult in an older guide, so check the current price
  • Free to see: the New Street mural, Digbeth street art, the Northern Quarter, Formby Beach (parking and National Trust charges may apply) and the outside of St George's Hall

We could not find current prices for Arley Hall, Victoria Baths, Port Sunlight Museum, St George's Hall tours or the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, so check their official websites.

Before you go

  • Check the season. Victoria Baths is open from March to November, and some museums and houses change their hours in winter.
  • Respect residents. Powis Street and other streets used for filming are people's homes.
  • Check the ages. Peaky Blinders Nights at the museum are for over-16s, and one tour was for over-18s.
  • Book the nights and tours first. They are the things that sell out.
