Book NowA magical spectacle for all ages, stages and walks of life. Britains biggest indoor international tattoo, with over 1,200 performers, is returning to Arena Birmingham bringing together marching bands, exciting displays and culminating in the spectacular Grand Finale featuring all the performers in a spectacle of pomp and pageantry. At the Severn Valley Railway all journeys end with a memory.
