Itinerary
Birmingham International Tattoo
Day 1 - After joining your holiday coach, sit back and relax as your journey takes you to the Midlands. Enjoy a stop in the vibrant county town of Warwick, a treasure house of medieval architecture, with rich veins of history and charming streets, dominated by the soaring turrets of Warwick Castle (entrance not included). Then it's onward to your hotel for the weekend. DBB for 2 nights. Early meal on Saturday.\n\nDay 2 - Full English breakfast before joining the coach for a drive over to Royal Leamington Spa. Wide boulevards, stunning architecture and award-winning parks provide a sophisticated backdrop to this Regency town. Leamington town centre combines a treasure-trove of independent, specialist boutiques alongside high street brands and a huge variety of eating experiences. Some free time and then head back to the hotel for an early dinner before heading to the Resorts World Arena at the NEC to experience the pomp and pageantry that is the Birmingham International Tattoo. All the traditional elements of the Tattoo will be present - from the rousing massed bands and parade of standards to the spectacular Grand Finale - plus much, much more. \n\nPlease note that there are 29 steps to get into the arena bowl as well as a few further steps once inside (either up or down) to access the rows of seats. There is an interval and several food and beverage outlets at the Resorts World Arena\nCredit: BirminghamTattoo\n\nDay 3 - After a relaxed breakfast, board your coach for the journey back to interchange.

After time to explore, hop back on the coach and head back to your hometowns via interchange.
