Sunday 21st February

This year the parade promises to be unlike any other, the 2027 Tattoo brings together massed marching bands, pipes & drums, and exciting displays including the Inter-Service Field Gun Competition, dog-racing during the British Flyball Association competition, plus massed dancers. They will join forces for over three hours of pageantry & spectacle in the comfort of the Resorts World Arena. The Birmingham Tattoo would not be complete without the ever popular Spectacular Grand Finale. Featuring over 1,200 performers, including the Parade of the Massed Standards, as well as the Royal Air Force Cosford Queen's Colour & Escort, the Tattoo will certainly be cause for plenty of celebration & pride. The event includes the traditional "Land of Hope and Glory", "The Evening Hymn", led by the Tattoo guest Vocalist, & joined by "the Lone Piper" in their fantastic celebration of pomp & pageantry. Whether you prefer the massed bands, the skirl of the pipes & drums, the fast-paced action of the field gun or the flyball dog races, or the pomp & pageantry of the massed standard bearers, there is something for all the family at the Birmingham International Tattoo. Once the show has finished we travel back to our hotel and check-in for a great night's sleep.
NB: There are 29 steps (with handrail) to enter/exit the arena.
