WASPS will mark St George's Day next year by playing Bath at Twickenham on April 24.
The fixture kicks off at 5.30pm, with the club donating at least £1 of every ticket sold to Help for Heroes.
With 82,000 tickets up for sale, Wasps hope to raise upwards of £100,000 through their official charity, the Dallaglio Foundation.
The Twickenham switch is a part of long-term deal with the RFU which will see Wasps play at Rugby HQ on the weekend closest to St George’s Day for the next three seasons.
Wasps owner Steve Hayes said: "It is important that our supporters know that it is not our ambition to follow the trend of moving game after game to bigger venues.
"Adams Park is our home and given our record to date I know that our fans and players enjoy the matchday here.
"This move to Twickenham is about finding that perfect fit and that perfect venue for the celebration of St George’s Day – this is a special occasion and I want our supporters to enjoy that variety and excitement.”
