“The world is changing, lay down your arms, wipe your bloody fists… The Shelbys sit at the head of the food chain, their enemies defeated or appeased. Today is a chance to give back to the community. Today we celebrate. Today we set aside old scores. Any failure to maintain the peace will result in violent reprisal; By Order of the Peaky Blinders.”
1928. Birmingham. England.
Digbeth has been opened for the first ‘Legitimate Peaky Blinders festival’.
The streets of the original Peaky Blinders activity are interspersed with 5 stages of music and populated by scores of characters in an immersive expansion of the Peaky Blinders World; bent coppers, drunken shoe-shines, women’s rights activists and, of course, the immaculate Peaky Blinders, looking every inch as sharp as the razors stashed in their caps.
Punters, free to choose their own level of involvement, can simply watch the unfolding narratives of each character play out over the course of the 2 day festival, or else jump into the more interactive, game-playing elements of this immersive experience, possibly enlisted by one of the world’s many factions.
Choose your side. Join the march. Fight for your tribe.
