Fans of the Birmingham-based BBC2 show will be able to grab their flat cap or flapper dress to walk around the series' film set, as well as enjoying an evening of music and entertainment from the roaring '20s.

Revellers will be able to take a stroll around Shelby’s scrap metal business - where many props used during the filming remain - at the adults-only event which takes place on September 7 and 8.

They will also be able to enjoy a pint of local real ale at the museum's own Garrison pub, and watch street theatre actors bring gun-slinging gang warfare to life.

In 2017, Cillian Murphy, Adrien Brody, and Tom Hardy's wife Charlotte Riley returned to film scenes at the Tipton road-based attraction for the eagerly-anticipated fourth season of the show.

Season four saw Tommy Shelby, played by Cillian Murphy, pursued by a new enemy who threatened to annihilate his entire family. Fleeing his country house, Tommy returned to the only safe place he knew: Small Heath, Birmingham.

The majority of the filming took place within the Museum’s Canal Arm, taking on a post-First World War transformation into regular character Charlie Strong’s Small Heath-based scrap metal yard.

On the set of series three at the museum, the gangster drama creator, Steven Knight said: “We are trying to film as much here as we possibly can because it’s so good and they treat us so well.

"It’s our world and I think of this as our Peaky home."

Following the explosive ending of season four, it was announced that the show would return for a fifth season in 2019.
