One of Manchester’s most popular nightlife venues is transforming itself every month for a new cabaret show.
Stepping inside Peaky Blinders Manchester may always feel like taking a trip back in time , but for one-night only every month throughout 2022, the Peter Street venue is inviting you to “peak your curiosity” as it transforms into its very-own speakeasy for a cabaret event featuring some of the best performers in the UK & Europe.
Peaky’s Speakeasy brings together a diverse lineup of performance artists from the world of Burlesque, Circus, Drag, and many more.
Each event features a lineup curated by Miss Lei-Lei.
According to the event description on the Peaky Blinders Manchester website, jazz quintet The Bourbon Street Band will provide the soundtrack to the new monthly show to take you into the night and “dance the blues away”.

Earlier this year, Cheshire Oaks unveiled its 2025 Style Report, revealing that 63% of Brits now prefer shopping in person rather than online, as well as the resurgence of nostalgic fashion trends from the 90s, from baggy trousers to full denim looks.
It’s the UK’s largest designer outlet, with more than 400,000 sq ft of retail space and more than 165 brands.
Kenny Murray, general manager at Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet, said: “This anniversary is a moment to celebrate the rich history and vibrant future of Cheshire Oaks. We have evolved continuously over the last three decades, and now it’s time to celebrate in true style.
“Over our 30 years we’ve built a real sense of community that makes this centre special and we want to celebrate this milestone with the local area and people so close to our heart.
“This summer’s music event, crowned by a secret headline act, promises to be a truly special experience, and a way that we can give back to the loyal customers who have trusted us to bring them the latest fashion trends since the 90s, we can’t wait to enjoy it with them.”
