The 63-year-old darts legend will be in action in the third match of the evening against three-time world champion John Part. The two met twice in a World Cup final. In 2001 Taylor pulverized his Canadian opponent 7-0 in sets, but two years later Part took revenge by beating 'The Power' 7-6 after a thriller.
The evening kicks off with a friendly between John Henderson and David Cameron. Next, two-time senior world champion Robert Thornton faces off with WDF world champion Neil Duff. The final match of the evening session is between Glen Durrant and Jim McEwan.
