Dates for the Fanatics XI vs Barmy Army XI are set - see below
The Australian cricket team returns to the Old Dart for the 2009 npower Ashes Series. Once again we will be there in big numbers & here is your chance to join us.
In England the grounds are typically small, fitting between 15,000 & 30,000 at capacity. With that comes an amazing, intimate atmosphere (think 2005 Series) but also a shortage of match tickets. It's not easy to get tickets & it is definitely not cheap but we're sure you’ll find these tours the most affordable & adventurous on the market.
Our aim when creating tours for this series was to provide escorted tour options beyond the usual well trodden cricket tour & offer a once in a lifetime experience. For those that are looking for more flexibility then we also have match packages to all 5 Tests, the Twenty20 & ODI's. So don't miss your chance to get on board - this will be the trip of a lifetime!
We have a number of tour options available including Escorted Tours, Match Packages and 1 & 2 Day Packages. See the links on the left hand menu for full details.
