The Peaky Blinders sets have grown grander and grander over the years as the Shelby family fortunes flourish.
In recent years, we’ve seen the show’s hero Tommy Shelby, played by Cillian Murphy, move into an incredible stately home of his own.
The stunning red-bricked mansion is a big upgrade from the streets of Small Heath in Birmingham, where the early action was set.
And although the Peaky Blinders gang mostly live and conduct their business in Birmingham, huge parts of the series were filmed here in Greater Manchester.

The lavish home that Tommy lives in is no exception – you’ll find it just across the border in Cheshire.

Arley Hall was chosen as the grand setting for the Shelby family home, and has been back on our screens since the hit drama returned last month.
In fact, the very opening scene of the sixth and final season shows the familiar sight of Arley Hall.

Tommy’s study has been created inside the library, while other scenes have taken place inside its drawing room and gallery.
Producers actually had the walls repainted to a dark green, before returning them back to their original peach colour once filming was completed.

The sweeping driveway has also hosted some dramatic action, including a stand-off between Arthur Shelby and his wife Linda in season five.

The 500,000-litre Jurassic-themed habitat is home to more than 50 creatures, including blacktip reef sharks, nurse sharks, stingrays, and green sea turtles.
Fancy it then? The half-price offer is currently live and runs up until 15 October 2026, with up to three discounted child tickets per booking.

Charli XCX announces massive Manchester arena gig as part of long-awaited UK and European tour
Emily Sergeant
Charli XCX has finally given UK fans the news they’ve been waiting for.
After the genre-bending popstar announced back in June a series of US gigs this autumn to support and celebrate the release of her eighth studio albumMusic, Fashion, Film – which was met with critical acclaim following its release in late July – fans in her home country were wondering when she would announce UK dates to accompany these.
The 34-year-old been had hinting at a UK and European leg of the Music, Fashion, Film Tour on social media over the past couple of months, but nothing was set in stone as of yet.
Then last night, Charli took to Twitter to announce that she ‘finally’ had some information coming today (11 September), and then followed it up with a teaser video – sending fans into a frenzy.
And now, it has been announced this morning that Charli XCX will be taking to the Co-op Live stage early next year.
Support on the UK and European leg of the Music, Fashion, Film Tour will come from US popstar Audrey Hobert.
Hobert has been having somewhat of a star-making year herself in 2026 following the release of her own critically acclaimed debut album, Who’s The Clown?, last year – with her streams racking up daily and drawing in massive crowds on the festival circuit this summer.
Charli XCX – Music, Fashion, Film Tour UK & EU Dates 2027
13 February – 3Arena, Dublin
15 February – OVO Hydro, Glasgow
17 February – Co-op Live, Manchester
19 February – The O2, London
22 February – Ziggo Dome, Amsterdam
24 February – Accor Arena, Paris
Upon release back in July, Music, Fashion, Film the album received acclaim from music critics, who praised its lyrical honesty and experimental production, as Charli took a sonic journey away from the undeniable mega hit that was her 2024 album BRAT, and into ‘Rock Music’ territory.
Music, Fashion, Film topped the charts in the UK and Australia, as well as in Belgium, Hungary, and New Zealand, while reaching the top 10 in countless other countries – including the US.
Charli XCX will be bringing the Music, Fashion, Film Tour to Manchester‘s Co-op Live on Wednesday 17 February 2027, and tickets will go on sale next week.
