5 DAY GALLE TEST MATCH

An idea for your holiday

An amazing opportunity to see a test match in one of the world’s prettiest test match venues when England takes on Sri Lanka in November 2018. Galle is a fabulous region to stay with glorious sandy beaches, luxurious hotels and beautiful scenery, quite apart from the cricket itself! Begin your holiday with a relaxing day either around your hotel or exploring the sites of Galle before a full five days’ worth of cricket. There will be plenty of opportunities to talk cricket with fellow England supporters, as well as drinks with the ETG team along with lots of time to enjoy the beaches and laid-back bohemian vibe of this lovely corner of Sri Lanka.

Highlights include:

  • Revel in the exciting atmosphere at Galle Stadium as you watch England vs Sri Lanka in one of the most passionate, cricket-crazed countries in the world.
  • With problem-shooting ETG staff on the ground, you can enjoy a hassle-free experience – we will take care of all arrangements, including your tickets, transport and daily lunch. All you have to do is get to the airport!
  • Relax in your comfortable, luxurious hotel and explore the lovely countryside and beaches of Galle between matches.

But hurry: our tours to watch England play cricket against Sri Lanka are selling out fast! Contact us now using the number or the form below and we will reserve a place for you with NO OBLIGATIONS for a short period.

This is a sample itinerary which we will tailor to suit you. Prices are dependent on destination, flights & dates but ETG holidays always include the following:

  • International flights (if required)
  • Guides, drivers & their tips
  • Accommodation
  • Specified meals & snacks
  • Your immersive experiences
  • Internal & regional transfers
