BLACK COUNTRY MUSEUM
“This place is under new management, by order of the Peaky Blinders.”
- Thomas Shelby
Who’s eagerly awaiting the arrival of the brand new Peaky Blinder series?!
We certainly are!
In the meantime, how cool would it be to visit the actual set where a lot of the programme was filmed? You are in luck!
The Black Country Living Museum is one of the most impressive open-air museums in the UK. It is the closest you will get to understanding what life was like in Birmingham 300 years ago!
Just 32 minutes from our City Centre Campus, the Dudley museum is a great day out for you and your new BCU friends.

If you are lucky enough to be studying at our Bournville Campus, you are only seconds away from the attraction. Stop what you’re doing and sniff the air… You must be able to smell the milk chocolate?!
