Edgbaston, The Open & Wild Scotland Tour – 18 Nights

SHARE

About this tour

Watch all five days of the 3rd Test at Edgbaston and two days of The 155th Open at St Andrews, then go beyond the fairway through Wild Scotland.

Over 18 nights from Wednesday 7 to Sunday 25 July 2027, combine the 3rd Test of the UK Ashes 2027 with The Open at the Home of Golf and six nights discovering Scotland, from the Lake District and Edinburgh to Glencoe, the Isle of Skye, Loch Ness, Royal Deeside and the Cairngorms.

Your journey begins with six nights at the 4-star Leonardo Royal Hotel Birmingham on Broad Street. The evening you arrive, walk three minutes to the ICC Birmingham for the Official Ashes Function, then take your reserved seat at Edgbaston for Days 1 to 4 of the Test, with general admission for Day 5 and a local bus travelcard to get you to the ground.

On Tuesday, your Tour Guide takes the group north to Windermere in the Lake District for the night, before crossing into Scotland and on to Edinburgh for five nights. Included return transfers take you to St Andrews on Friday and again on Sunday for the Final Round, with general admission tickets that let you walk the Old Course and follow any group you like. Thursday and Saturday are yours to explore Edinburgh, from the Castle and the Royal Mile to the Royal Yacht Britannia at Leith.

After the Claret Jug has been lifted, meet your Events Travel Tour Manager on Monday morning for a six-night small-group escorted tour. Cross Rannoch Moor into Glencoe, travel beneath Ben Nevis and past Eilean Donan Castle to the Isle of Skye, then spend a full day discovering Portree, the Trotternish Peninsula, the Old Man of Storr, Kilt Rock and Mealt Falls.

From Skye, follow the Highlands east via Fort Augustus and Loch Ness to Inverness, journey north to Dornoch for lunch overlooking Royal Dornoch Golf Club, then travel through Moray and Scotland’s Castle Country into Aberdeenshire. Your final day follows Royal Deeside to Balmoral and crosses the Cairngorms to Pitlochry before finishing at Edinburgh Airport.

Along the way, stay in 4-star and boutique hotels, enjoy daily breakfast and included group dining, and travel with a small group of like-minded sports fans.
