The experience will be open daily from 1pm to 12am on March 31 and April 1 and on weekends, and from 6pm to 12am on all other days. All are welcome to enjoy everything in store and entry is free.
Schedules of the daily attractions will be published every day on BIC’s social media accounts.
The entertainment includes daily live performances from a mix of bands and DJs, motorsport activations such as racing simulators, giant Scalextric, an F1 show car, reaction games, Beyon Money activations, a photo booth, a craft village, roaming family entertainment, street artists, various kids’ attractions, and so much more.
At the Beyon Money BIC Fan Village, there will also be a BIC stand where official BIC and F1 merchandise can be purchased, as well as the few remaining grand prix tickets.
This exciting experience for fans is once again being supported by title partner Beyon Money, part of Beyon Group, which is a financial services super app, enabling customers to connect to their bank accounts as well as access financial insights to observe transactions and spending habits.
