A charity auction for The Christie NHS Foundation Trust raised about $25,700 through the sale of original Peaky Blinders costumes. Omega Auctions hosted the event from April 22 to May 20, culminating in a themed gathering at Manchester's Peaky Blinders bar with live bidding and costume exhibits.
Cillian Murphy's grey three-piece suit, featured in the series finale as Tommy Shelby, was sold for $2,234.
Inside the pocket, a handwritten note read 'takes off ring," referencing Shelby's emotional journey. Murphy's wool 'Tommy suit C" achieved the highest price at $4,063, according to a PA report.
Sam Claflin's hat, worn by his character Oswald Mosley, fetched $243.
Helen McCrory's coat from her role as Polly Gray, the fierce matriarch of the Shelby family, was sold for $880.
Murphy's wedding suit from Season 3 raised $2,167, and Aimee Ffion Edwards' embroidered jacket, worn by her character Esme Shelby, sold for $325.
Additional items, including ties, dresses, and shoes, were also auctioned.
The proceeds will support cancer research and patient care at Manchester's Christie Hospital. The event celebrated the show's enduring impact, blending the gritty 1920s aesthetic of Peaky Blinders with a charitable cause. The series followed Tommy Shelby's evolution from a Birmingham gangster to a political figure, facing off against fascism, communism, and personal struggles. Claflin's portrayal of Mosley reflected real-world extremism, while McCrory's Polly provided a strong, witty anchor for the Shelby family.
The Peaky Blinders franchise is set to return soon with a film sequel, written by creator Steven Knight and starring Murphy, due for release this autumn.
Running from 2013 to 2022, the series skillfully combined post-war politics with family drama, securing its cult status. Fans were able to relive the show's intensity and contribute to cancer research through their bids on these iconic costumes.
