In pictures: 3,500 attend Black Country Living Museum for Peaky Blinders night

More than 3,500 poured into the popular attraction this past weekend to get a taste of Blinder life and they were not left disappointed.

The museum's grounds were altered to give the ultimate Peaky Blinders feel, with props from the set, a barber shop, and a wild Alfie Solomons running round with a capped gun.

As well as the usual bars and food stops, attractions included old buses, a horse and cart that were used during filming, fairground rides, a clothes shop where you could deck yourself out like Tommy Shelby and laser clay pigeon shooting.

Its popularity was unquestionable with the Black Country Living Museum selling the event out just hours after tickets went on sale, with 1,800 people turning out on Friday night and the same number on Saturday night.

Daz Smith, 42, from Netherton, said: "I'm a massive fan and I thought the museum event was really good. I had been a few times anyway but the way they recreated the set was really good with very good attention to detail. You have to keep it local I think, even if it is a massive series now, you need to get your locals involved."

The museum is used by the BBC One show for filming, and creator and writer Stephen Knight has made it clear how much he loves the museum insisting a lot more of the fourth series of the show will be filmed there. Speaking to the Express & Star at the premiere of the third series he even quipped saying he would live at the museum if he could.

Rosie O'Callaghan, 23, from Birmingham, was helping to provide music at the event playing her clarinet with other members of her band. She said: "This was my first time performing at an event like this and it has really inspired me to watch the show. I have never seen it before and should have done my research but it has definitely inspired me to watch it."
