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.
Whether you’re here for the cricket, the golf or the Highlands, this tour puts all three 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.
