Peaky Blinders auction: A rare chance to own original costumes from the hit TV series - date, clothes & more
A unique ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity is now a reality for those who’ve always dreamed of owning a piece of Peaky Blinders history, while supporting a vital cause
An exclusive online auction of original costumes worn in the hit BBC series went live on Tuesday 22 April and will run for four weeks, culminating on Tuesday 20 May.
All proceeds from the auction will go to The Christie Charity, which supports cancer patients and pioneering research at one of Europe’s leading cancer centres, The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester.
Filmed in atmospheric locations across Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire - including Castlefield, The Northern Quarter, Victoria Baths and Salford Lads Club, as well as Arley Hall, Cheshire and Lee Quarry, Bacup - the final season of Peaky Blinders left an indelible mark, and now fans have a chance to claim a tangible piece of that legacy.
The auction, hosted by Omega Auctions, showcases an exceptional collection of wardrobe pieces worn by cast members in the final season.
Among the highlights are several impeccably tailored three-piece suits worn by the main character, Tommy Shelby.
One particularly notable suit was featured in the final scenes of the series six finale. Inside a pocket, there's a handwritten note on the script reading, ‘Takes off ring.’
Another standout item is a uniquely tailored coat adorned with abstract stitched patterns, worn on screen by Polly Gray in episode four of series three, plus a handmade fur felt hat worn by Oswald Mosley.
Additional costume treasures range from lace flapper dresses, velvet dresses, embroidered scarves, and ladies’ shoes to flat caps, jackets, ties, waistcoats, leather riding shin guards, and many other iconic Peaky Blinders costume accessories – which are all be available to bid on.
