Summary
Victorian exhibition hall referenced by Peaky Blinders production design team for period Birmingham.
About this location
Bingley Hall was a Victorian exhibition hall in Birmingham, one of the first purpose-built exhibition halls in the country when it opened in 1850 in the Snow Hill area of the city. The hall had a large open floor plan beneath an iron and glass roof, similar in character to the period market halls used in Peaky Blinders. The Peaky Blinders production designer and the show’s filming team referenced Bingley Hall in discussions about period Birmingham interior spaces, noting its significance to the show’s visual language. While the original structure was demolished, the name and architecture continue to inform the production’s set design choices.
The venue offers scope for both interior and exterior production work, with the combination of architectural character and manageable scale making it practical for mid-budget productions. Location management fees vary according to the extent and duration of the shoot. Production companies should contact the estate manager or relevant heritage body to discuss access arrangements. The site has featured in regional filming discussions and has been scouted by location managers working on period and contemporary British drama.
