Tea room is all dressed up for a Peaky Blinders night to remember
Fans of the television drama Peaky Blinders will be dressed up for the part when a Shropshire cafe hosts a 1920s night.
Songs and dishes from the decade will be served at the sold out event at Violet’s Rea Rooms, in Waterloo Terrace, Bridgnorth, on Saturday.
Nostalgia singer Ava Evergreen will provide the entertainment for the Peaky Blinders Night on October 27, from 7.30pm.
Fans of the series are encouraged to get into the swing of things by turning up in costume for the event.
Owner Jacqui Riley says: "We've sold out. We had 40 tickets which are all gone. But we've got a waiting list of people who want to come, just in case anyone cancels so these nostalgia events are really popular.
"We'll be serving a hot meal, there will be competitions including for the best dressed peaky couple and back a Selby horse competition. We are all looking forward to Saturday, there will be five of us working and dressed up in 1920s clothing.
"We're decorating the tea rooms with lots of beads, peacock feathers and candles and when Miss Evergreen is singing we'll be playing music from the time in the background.
"Everybody has been working really hard on this project and we're expecting it to be a fabulous night."
Miss Evergreen will be performing songs from the era's post modern juke box tunes through to Peaky Blinders inspired songs plus the theme tune Red Right Hand.
Ales supplied by Lye based Saddlers Brewery will be on sale. And the staff's costumes are on loan from Bridgnorth based The Looking Glass Vintage Clothing.
The popular BBC series set in Birmingham around the fortunes of the Selby family starring Cillian Murphy and Helen McCory is due to return to the screen next spring.
Violet's Tea Room opened in 2016 and last year it won the Pride of Bridgnorth Award for best kept restaurant and was recently awarded a certificate of Excellence from Trip Advisor.
The tea room will be open as normal on Saturday 10am to 4pm.
