The day starts on City Hall Lawn at 11:00. There is a full day’s entertainment on offer, so make sure you get down there early to soak up the atmosphere and meet other fans from around the world.

Jaw-dropping stunt performances, freerunning shows, official SGP autograph sessions, Monster Energy entertainment and live music are just some of the activities in the packed programme.

BMX and freerunning stunt performances kick off at 12:00 with a display from the Extreme Bike Battle team. In case you miss them, they’ll be back in action at 12.45, 13.30 and 14:45.

BT Sport presenters Scott Nicholls and Natalie Quirk will be on the main stage at 12:15 to give you an insight into what it takes to host a motorsport event live on TV.

To get the world’s biggest speedway party started, there will be live music pumping through the fanzone at 11:45, 12:30, 13:15 and 14:30.

At 13.45, it is your chance to meet the SGP riders! Double world champion Tai Woffinden will be at the SGP autograph table along with wild card and British champion Robert Lambert and two-time SGP winner Bartosz Zmarzlik.
