    Greenwich park - will there be big screens outside of the actual venue?

    Unfortunately we haven't managed to secure tickets for any of the equestrian events, however I'm wondering if they will have big screens throughout Greenwich park (the parts you can access without a ticket) where we can watch it with a picnic etc? I know Hyde Park etc offer this, but not sure...
