The Suzuki Main Stage will be a focus for many of the visitors. The 2018 show will also see brand new hosts: Olympic gold and silver medallist Saskia Clark and Olympic sailor and sports presenter Stevie Morrison.

Drake and Morrison will be joining forces to host the show’s expert speakers on the Suzuki Main stage and the coaching area throughout the weekend.
