Tour Itinerary


  • Day 1 – Tuesday, 30th December: Arrive in Sydney

Make your own way to Sydney and your chosen hotel. Relax and unwind before attending our Welcome Drinks Reception hosted by your experienced Tour Manager. This is the perfect opportunity to get to know the other Travel Members in your group.

  • Day 2 – Wednesday, 31st December: Day at leisure & NYE Event in Sydney

You’re waking up on the last day of 2025 in Sydney, Australia. You’ll have a day of leisure to explore Sydney in your own time or stay with the group. Your Tour Manager can provide details of places of interest and any recommendations they have. Then as the evening draws in, head to our Barmy Army New Year’s Eve Event! Celebrate and party all night to see in 2026 Down Under! 

  • Day 3 – Thursday, 1st January: Day at leisure in Sydney

It’s the 1st of January 2026, a brand new year. After the most epic night, you might want to take things steady today.

  • Day 4 – 5 – Friday, 2nd – Saturday 3rd January: Days at leisure in Sydney

You have plenty of time to explore the areas you must visit in Sydney. Explore with your fellow Travel Members as a group – your Tour Manager will be sure to take you to some of the best places in the city, or you can explore the sights in your own time or head to places off the beaten track. In the evening, it’s time to party again ahead of the first day of the 5th Test – we’ll gather with your fellow Barmy Army Members for the Pre-Test Party. 

  • Day 6 – 10 – Sunday, 4th January: 5th Test Match in Sydney

The grand finale is here – the New Year’s Test at the SCG. Wrap up the series in style with five days of unmissable Ashes cricket. Each day, you’ll head to the SCG with your tour group and into the stands, ready to sing Jerusalem. At the end of each day’s play, you head to the official Barmy Army HQ or back to your hotel, ready for the next day. 

You might like a break from cricket during this period, so there will be plenty of options for things to do beyond the boundary in Sydney!

  • Day 11 – Friday, 9th January: Depart Sydney

Your Tour has unfortunately come to an end. It’s time to say your goodbyes and make your own onward journey.
