Charity support

Supporting our community

The Birmingham International Tattoo, is renowned for its commitment to supporting youth bands and local groups. The 2025 event featured the National Marching Band, the Massed Pipes & Drums, cadets, plus dancers from eleven youth dance schools, providing young musicians and local performers with a platform to showcase their talents alongside international performers.

The event also supported charitable causes, with a retiring collection at the end of each performance benefiting Troop Aid and Royal Star & Garter. A portion of the proceeds from souvenir programmes sold at the venue was donated to these charities, further emphasizing the Tattoo's dedication to community support.

Through these initiatives, the Birmingham International Tattoo fosters community engagement and provides valuable opportunities for youth bands and local child groups to perform in a prestigious setting.

In addition, the Tattoo features displays such as the Parade of the Massed Standards, with over 60 standard bearers representing various veterans' associations, including the Royal British Legion. This participation highlights the event's dedication to honouring and supporting the veteran community.

Through these initiatives, the Birmingham International Tattoo demonstrates a strong commitment to veterans' organizations, providing both financial support and public recognition of their contributions.
