If you fancy taking a step back in time to welcome in the new year, then Peaky Blinders Manchester has got you covered.

With December right around the corner, things are starting to feel a whole lot more festive around the city centre, and Peaky Blinders Manchester – the ever-popular Peter Street venue – has got a jam-packed calendar of events running in the lead-up to Christmas.

But to help Mancunians celebrate New Year’s Eve in style, the venue will be “throwing it back to the days of 1920s prohibition” for a Gatsby-style evening of glamour.

There’ll be a glass of fizz for everyone reception, followed by a “tastebud-tantalising” five course meal alongside an evening that’s filled with entertainment, from DJs and live music, to look-alikes, a table magician who will be working their magic, a brass band, and flapper girls dancing the night away.

The five-course feast begins with a range of canapés to get your tastebuds going, before moving onto the starters, which includes everything from a pulled confit duck and foie gras terrine, and a smoked salmon roulade, to a warming bowl of spiced red pepper and sweet potato soup, and more.

Main courses include butter roasted Norfolk turkey or sous-vide goose breast, and pan fried cod, to a puy lentil and barley steamed pudding – which is suitable for vegetarians and vegans – and all mains are served with a selection of sharing winter vegetables and ‘Peaky gravy’.

For those with a sweet tooth, there’s a festive selection of desserts to tuck into – including a white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake, and even a cheeseboard.

You can then finish it all off with a hand-picked selection of digestifs.

Don’t fancy a five course meal? Don’t worry, you can still enjoy an evening of entertainment and dance the night away on the ground floor area, as well as sipping on one of the cocktails from the brand-new Christmas Cocktails menu – which are all £9 each.

General admission on New Year’s Eve will be £20 per person, and tickets to the full gala experience will set you back £75 each.
