With filming for Peaky Blinders Season 7 in full swing across the city, now is your chance to get in on the action. In a nod to the recent Timothy Chalamet doppelganger contest in New York, the Bullring is hosting its very own competition—this time, to find the ultimate Tommy Shelby lookalike with a respectable £500 shopping spree as the prize for the winner.
Taking place this Saturday, 23rd November, by the famous Bullring Bull statue, the event invites fans to show off their best Tommy Shelby impression. Whether it’s the steely gaze, the cheekbones, or just that “you don’t mess with me” attitude, judges will be looking for the person who truly embodies the character.
The Bullring will welcome spectators and participants alike as fans gather to celebrate their love for the hit drama. For those not stepping up to the challenge, there’s plenty of fun to be had watching contenders give it their best shot at perfecting that signature Shelby smoulder.
This isn’t just about who looks most like Tommy—it’s about capturing his essence. The series has made Tommy Shelby a global icon, and this event gives fans the opportunity to celebrate the character and the show that has helped to put Birmingham on the map.
With filming for the next series of Peaky Blinders currently underway, excitement is building in the city. The competition is a chance to get involved in the buzz and to remind everyone why Birmingham is so iconic.
Bullring are encouraging people to arrive early to enjoy the atmosphere. Whether you’re there to compete or just to cheer on the hopefuls, it’s set to be a fantastic celebration of Birmingham and its most famous TV family. The competition is free to enter, and anyone who thinks they’ve got what it takes is welcome to join. For updates, keep your eyes on the Bullring Instagram account, linked here.
