A Peaky Evening with Gatsby: a Roaring 20's Night to Remember

Imagine an evening event that blends the opulence of "The Great Gatsby" with the gritty, stylish atmosphere of "Peaky Blinders," creating a sophisticated, high-energy, roaring 1920s experience.

On this evening, The Birmingham Black Box is a speakeasy-inspired industrial space with a sense of elegance. Vintage jazz music fills the air, with the crooning of our live performer, 2 bands, and the melodic tunes played on our baby grand piano. Our illicit bar will showcase some the delicious drinks and cocktails of that era, including martinis, old fashions, cable cars, cider and beer.

Guests would be dressed to the nines, embodying the sophistication of Gatsby’s lavish parties with flapper dresses adorned with sequins, pearls, and feathers, while the gentlemen wear sharp suits, bow ties, and sleek vests. Some attendees might take inspiration from "Peaky Blinders," sporting three-piece suits, newsboy caps, and trench coats, giving the event a more rebellious, gritty edge.

There will be card tables where guests can try their hand at poker or roulette, channelling the glamour and danger of underground gambling. Our performers will help submerse you in the experience.

The vibe is one of indulgence and danger— you'll feel like you’re part of an elite circle, mingling with wealthy socialites and powerful figures, while an undercurrent of rebellion and illicit activities simmers just beneath the surface. It’s a celebration where sophistication meets the raw energy of the streets.

This unique fusion creates an unforgettable night that will transport our guests to the exhilarating world of the 1920s.
