Edgbaston, Windermere & The Open Tour – 14 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 on Ashes & The 155th Open, a tour created exclusively for Cricket Australia Masters.

Over 14 nights from Monday 5 to Monday 19 July 2027, combine the 3rd Test of the UK Ashes 2027 with The Open at the Home of Golf, travelling north by way of Lake Windermere.

Your journey begins with two nights at the 4-star Forest of Arden Hotel & Country Club in the Warwickshire countryside. You arrive to a Welcome Dinner at the resort, and the next day is free for golf on its two courses, walks through the grounds or the pool and spa.

On Wednesday you move into Birmingham for six nights at the 4-star Leonardo Royal Hotel on Broad Street. That evening, walk three minutes to the ICC Birmingham for the Official Ashes Function, with a meal and guest speakers. The next morning the 3rd Test begins at Edgbaston, with reserved seats for Days 1 to 4, general admission for Day 5 and a bus pass to get you to the ground.

After the Test, your Tour Manager and a professional Tour Guide take the group north by chartered coach for a night beside Lake Windermere at the Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa, with dinner included, before crossing into Scotland for five nights at the Mount Royal Hotel on Princes Street, Edinburgh.

Included coach transfers take you to St Andrews on Friday 16 July, as the field battles to make the cut, and again on Sunday 18 July for the Final Round. Both days are Ticket Plus, giving you course entry and the grandstands, plus a private area near the 8th hole with undercover and outdoor seating, big screens showing live play, a private bar and a £25 food voucher. Thursday and Saturday are yours to explore Edinburgh, from the Castle and the Royal Mile to the Royal Yacht Britannia at Leith.

A Cricket Australia Masters Tour Manager travels with the group throughout, and our team will be on site in Scotland during The Open.
