Grandstand Seating will also be available at the Practice Ground for spectators to sit and enjoy the world's best prepare for action.

Spectator Villages
Take a break from the course and spend some time at one of the Spectator Villages at Royal Birkdale.

You can even have a free 15-minute lesson with a PGA professional at The Open Swingzone.
