The Short Answer
The official Peaky Blinders Filming Location Tours run at Black Country Living Museum in Dudley, about 10 miles west of Birmingham. Costumed guides lead groups of 20 to 30 around sets including Charlie's Yard. Tours cost £40, include museum entry, and run Wednesdays and Saturdays at 11:30am and 1:30pm for 75 to 90 minutes. Pre-booking is required.
Peaky Blinders filmed at the Black Country Living Museum for all six series, from 2013 onwards. The open air museum in Dudley, about 10 miles west of Birmingham city centre, provided authentic industrial backdrops for key locations such as Charlie's Yard and the canal tow path. Series creator Steven Knight has called the museum the home of Peaky Blinders, and the connection runs deep enough that the site now runs dedicated tours.
Official Peaky Blinders Filming Location Tours launched on 23 May 2026, led by guides in period costume. They cover the working sets recognisable from the show and include full museum entry, so visitors can spend the rest of the day exploring the wider site. Beyond Dudley, Birmingham itself offers self guided options: the canals around Gas Street Basin appeared in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, and the Digbeth area around the show's studios has become a draw for fans.
Compare The Tours
For visitors who want a Peaky Blinders experience in Birmingham city itself rather than at the Dudley museum, guided walking tours of Digbeth combine the show's screen legacy with the district's street art and creative scene. The options below cover similar ground at similar prices, so the main differences come down to price and review history rather than itinerary.

What You Will See
Charlie's Yard
The boat dock and Anchor Forge that served as Tommy Shelby's mooring and workplace throughout the series. It is the single most recognisable set on the tour and the moment most visitors come for.
Canal Tow Path
The tow path where plenty of canal side action played out across the series. It captures the industrial Black Country atmosphere that defined the show's look.
St James's School
The school building used for the murder of Father Hughes in series three. Guides point out exactly how the scene was staged within the museum's period street.
Canal Street Bridge
The spot where Freddie and Ada held their secret meetings. A favourite stop for fans of the couple's storyline across the early series.
Blacksmith's Workshop
A working forge that appears in several episodes. It reflects the real trades the museum preserves alongside its screen credits.
The Anchor Forge
Part of the Charlie's Yard complex and a core piece of the Shelby family's on screen world, alongside the boat dock it sits beside.
Planning Your Visit
Getting There
The museum sits on Discovery Way and Tipton Road in Dudley, DY1 4AL, roughly 10 miles west of Birmingham city centre. Buses serve the Tipton Road area and Tipton station is a practical rail option. Car parking is available on site, which makes driving from Birmingham or further afield straightforward. Visitors coming only for Birmingham city locations such as Gas Street Basin and Digbeth can manage those on foot from the centre.
Tickets, Hours And Timing
Official tours cost £40 as of October 2026 and that price includes full museum entry, so the ticket covers far more than the 75 to 90 minute guided walk. Tours run on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 11:30am and 1:30pm, with groups of 20 to 30 people. The museum's general admission hours vary by season, so check current times before travelling. Booking ahead through bclm.com is required, and popular slots do sell out.
Booking Tips
- Pre-book well ahead; tour dates sell out, especially weekends.
- The £40 ticket includes full museum entry, so allow time for the whole site, not just the tour.
- Tours are strictly 16 and over, so families with younger children cannot join.
- Arrive early for your timed slot; tours leave promptly at 11:30am and 1:30pm.
- Check bclm.com directly for availability before making travel plans.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where Is The Official Peaky Blinders Tour?
At the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley, about 10 miles west of Birmingham. The museum is reached by bus along Tipton Road, from Tipton station, or by car with on site parking. It is not in Birmingham city centre, so allow travel time.
How Much Does It Cost?
The official tour costs £40 as of October 2026, and that includes full entry to the museum for the day. Birmingham walking tours of Digbeth cost considerably less, from $18.86, but cover city filming spots rather than the main museum sets.
How Long Is The Tour?
The guided tour itself runs 75 to 90 minutes. Because the ticket includes museum entry, most visitors stay longer to explore the whole open air site. Tour start times are 11:30am and 1:30pm on Wednesdays and Saturdays only.
Can Children Join?
No. The official filming location tours are restricted to visitors aged 16 and over. Families with younger children can still visit the museum on standard admission, but they cannot join the Peaky Blinders guided tour itself.
What Locations From The Show Will I Recognise?
Charlie's Yard with its boat dock and Anchor Forge is the headline set. The tour also covers the canal tow path, St James's School where Father Hughes was murdered, Canal Street Bridge where Freddie and Ada met in secret, and the Blacksmith's Workshop.
What Peaky Sites Are In Birmingham Itself?
Gas Street Basin appears in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man and is free to walk along. Digbeth Loc. Studios, where Garrison Tavern interiors were filmed, is private and closed to tours, but the surrounding Digbeth area has street art and a creative scene worth exploring.
For most fans the official tour at Black Country Living Museum is the definitive Peaky Blinders experience, pairing the actual Charlie's Yard set with costumed guides and a full day at the museum. Pair it with a self guided wander along Gas Street Basin or a Digbeth walking tour to cover the Birmingham side of the story. Book early, remember the 16 plus age limit, and build in travel time from the city centre to Dudley.
