Watch all five days of the 1st Test at Trent Bridge and the 2nd Test at Lord’s, with Cambridge and Oxford in between, on Wickets & Wisdom, a tour created exclusively for Cricket Australia Masters.
Over 18 nights from Thursday 17 June to Monday 5 July 2027, follow the opening two Tests of the UK Ashes 2027 and spend three nights among England’s oldest universities, where cricket has been played for centuries.
Your journey begins with six nights at the 4-star Nottingham City Centre Hotel by Sunday. The evening you arrive, join the group at the Official Ashes Function, with a meal and guest speakers. The next morning the 1st Test begins at Trent Bridge, with reserved seats for Days 1 to 4, general admission for Day 5 and a seven-day City Rider travelcard to get you to the ground.
After the Test, your Tour Manager and a professional Tour Guide take the group by chartered coach to Cambridge for two nights at the Hyatt Centric. Join a guided walk through the colleges with a cricket focus, including the Hobbs Pavilion on Parker’s Piece, where Sir Jack Hobbs learnt the game, then take a chauffeured punt along the Backs past King’s College Chapel and Trinity. In Oxford, visit The Parks, home of Oxford University Cricket Club since 1881, where Australian touring teams played in 1964, 1972 and 1989.
From Oxford you transfer to London for nine nights at the Hampton by Hilton London Waterloo, with an Oyster card loaded with £30 credit. Spend three free days exploring the city, with Wimbledon tickets available on request, before the Official Ashes Function on Tuesday 29 June. The 2nd Test begins the next morning at Lord’s, with reserved seats for Days 1 to 4 and general admission for Day 5, and the tour closes with a Farewell Dinner on the final evening of the Test.
A Cricket Australia Masters Tour Manager travels with the group throughout, with daily breakfast, group transfers timed to the suggested flights and a tour merchandise pack.
Whether you’re here for the cricket or the colleges, this tour puts the first two Tests and England’s great university cities into one trip.

All small group tours are accompanied by a Tour Manager, who are there to assist with day-to-day activities and provide on-site support throughout the journey. A professional driver operates all group transport unless specified otherwise.
A good level of health and moderate fitness are required to fully enjoy this tour. Activities may include walking significant distances, boarding coaches, navigating uneven surfaces, and visiting attractions, event venues or stadiums. If you have accessibility needs or health concerns, please speak with our team prior to booking so we can advise on suitability and, where possible, make special arrangements in advance.
Travellers acknowledge that neither Events Travel nor its suppliers can provide medical or mobility assistance if you are unable to participate in part or all of the tour due to your health or physical condition. Events Travel will not be liable for any loss, damage, expense, injury, or death arising from such circumstances.
Our itineraries balance guided experiences with free time, allowing you to explore destinations at your own pace or enjoy hotel facilities at leisure. If you wish to arrange additional sightseeing or activities, our team can assist when booking, or your Tour Manager can provide recommendations during the trip. Some experiences may sell out well in advance, so we encourage booking optional activities as early as possible. We recommend securing extras soon after making your booking, and we can provide pricing, recommendations and booking links.
Many hotels are set within historic or boutique buildings. This often adds charm and character but can also mean that rooms vary in size, shape and layout — even within the same category. Features such as air conditioning, elevators, and modern amenities may be limited or differ between hotels. If you have specific requirements, please let us know prior to booking so we can advise on the most suitable options.
The tour itinerary remains subject to change due to operational requirements, weather, venue availability, or other circumstances beyond our control. While every effort will be made to follow the itinerary as described, Events Travel reserves the right to amend, substitute, or vary the order of activities without prior notice to ensure the best possible tour experience.
Hotel information, descriptions and images are provided for reference only and are sourced from official hotel websites or suppliers. Amenities, facilities and features are subject to change without notice. All hotels are subject to confirmation in the final itinerary. If a listed property becomes unavailable, a hotel of an equivalent or higher standard will be offered in its place (“or similar”). In the rare instance that a lower standard property is provided, a price reduction will apply.
All tours are subject to a minimum number of passengers to proceed. The required minimum will vary depending on the tour and is determined by Events Travel in its sole discretion.
If minimum numbers are not met by a specified cut-off date, Events Travel reserves the right to cancel the tour. In such circumstances, affected customers will be notified in writing and offered the following options:
Important notice: Do not make any non-refundable or non-changeable travel arrangements (including flights, accommodation or other services) until Events Travel has confirmed that the tour has reached minimum numbers and is proceeding as scheduled. Events Travel will not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses (including cancellation or change fees) you incur as a result of a tour being cancelled, rescheduled or materially altered due to minimum numbers not being met.
This clause operates in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Where applicable, refunds will be made in line with your statutory entitlements.
Enhance your journey with flexible extras and tailored services. Whether extending your stay, upgrading comfort, or adding new experiences, our expert team will design the perfect itinerary and source the best available rates for you.
