Pope John Paul II made a purely pastoral visit in 1982, but Pope Benedict XVI's trip will combine both pastoral events and formal state business.
On the first day of his trip,16 September, the Pope is expected to meet the Queen at Holyrood House in Edinburgh.
The main event, a mass to beatify Cardinal John Henry Newman, who died in 1890, will take place on 19 September at Cofton Park on the outskirts of Birmingham.
During the visit, the Pope will also make a speech to representatives from the worlds of politics, culture and business at Westminster Hall in London and make a public appearance on the Mall.
In July, the government said the cost to taxpayers of the Pope's visit could rise to £12m, up to £4m higher than previous figures.
The trip will also cost the Catholic Church £7m.
