The Ashes has been contested between Australia and England since 1882, and an Ashes summer in England takes you across the country, ground by ground. Five Tests, four cities and six weeks of cricket, from the first morning at Trent Bridge to the last session at The Oval, with the Long Room at Lord’s in between. Every series has its twists, and you remember where you were sitting when they happened.
2027 brings something new. The Rose Bowl in Southampton hosts its first men’s Ashes Test, and the summer marks 150 years of Test cricket. The Championships, Wimbledon, The Open at St Andrews and the Formula 1 British Grand Prix fall in the same weeks, so many of our clients will create their own great British summer of sport, combining the Ashes with other major events across the UK.
We’ve taken fans to the Ashes in the UK and Australia since 1997, including as an official partner of Cricket Australia, and in 2027 as a Cricket Australia Travel Office Licensed Travel Operator. 2027 marks 30 years of Ashes travel, and we look forward to welcoming you to the UK Ashes 2027, from Day 1 to the final ball. We can’t wait.

Official packages and small group tours combine tickets, hotels, functions and services in one booking, so compare the total cost of the trip rather than the ticket line. Packages and tours across multiple Tests and other events can be combined.
Public UK Ashes 2027 tickets are priced by each ground, by day and by stand, with the first three days of each Test the most expensive. Tickets in our packages are not sold separately and are fixed as part of the package or small group tour. Package prices start from A$3,699 per person twin share.
The Ashes 1st Test at Trent Bridge runs from Friday 18 to Tuesday 22 June 2027 and opens the series. Trent Bridge, home of Nottinghamshire, sits on the south bank of the River Trent in West Bridgford (Trent Bridge, Nottingham NG2 6AG) and holds about 17,500, with play from the Radcliffe Road End and the Pavilion End. Our 1st Test, Trent Bridge – 6 Nights package includes all five days, six nights from 17 June and the Official Ashes Function on 17 June.
The Ashes 2nd Test at Lord’s runs from Wednesday 30 June to Sunday 4 July 2027.

The Ashes 4th Test at the Rose Bowl runs from Wednesday 21 to Sunday 25 July 2027, the ground’s first men’s Ashes Test.

Two packages include it: 5th Test, The Oval – 6 Nights for all five days, and 5th Test, The Oval – 3 Nights for Days 1 and 2, both from 28 July with the Official Ashes Function at the Park Plaza Riverbank Hotel that evening.
Each six-night package includes reserved seats on Days 1 to 4 and general admission on Day 5, at no extra cost. Day 5 is played only if the match goes the distance, and on the day you choose any open seat in the general admission areas.
Seats are allocated by each ground, with stand and seat details released closer to the series and in your travel documents. Seat requests can be taken on booking but cannot be guaranteed. Seats are allocated in blocks with other Events Travel fans, so you sit among fellow supporters. Tickets are expected to be delivered digitally through each ground’s ticketing app and can be transferred by day within your group through the app.
Refunds for play lost to weather or a shortened match follow each ground’s refund policy. Where a refund applies, you receive the amount CATO receives from the ECB, less an administration fee; the package itself is not refundable. If the ECB moves a Test date, your package follows the new fixture where possible.
The UK Ashes 2027 is held over five Tests from 18 June to 2 August 2027, as scheduled by the England and Wales Cricket Board.

The booking was easy, professional and a great team to deal with. Any questions we had were answered in a timely manner and friendly staff. Second time we have booked with them and we are happy with their service. Thank you.
Very convenient. Book everything together.
Booking through Events travel gave us the opportunity to purchase Australian Open tennis tickets prior to the general ticket sales. They gave us an extensive list of hotels to choose from. We booked tickets at Rod Laver arena which we were very happy with. We hope to use Events Travel again.
