“We are used to Calke Abbey telling the story of the decline of the country house but it looked even more seemingly abandoned for the film.”
Caroline Taylor, visitor operations manager at Calke Abbey in Derbyshire said the filming of Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, which was released in cinemas on Friday, transformed the stately home into a “different world”.
Cast and crew of the production were welcomed to the National Trust property in November and December 2024 – the first-ever drama that has been filmed there.
Managers of the abbey said the income the filming generated was vital and they hoped it would attract more visitors.
