Sheffield is hosting the British Figure Skating Championships for the ninth year in a row and BBC Sport will stream the final two days' action on the website, app and connected televisions.
In the men's event, local favourite Peter Hallam has been runner-up for the past three years and will be looking to go one better in the absence of reigning champion Phillip Harris.
Hallam will face a tough challenge from Graham Newberry, who became British champion two years ago as an 18-year-old.
The women's event has been won by Natasha McKay for the past two years, but 2015 winner Karly Robertson, who has also been runner-up eight times, will be looking to secure her second title.
Zoe Jones and Chris Boyadji are favourites for the Pairs title, having won it for the past three years.
The favourites in the ice dancing are Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson, who competed for GB at this year's World Championships in Milan.
Robynne Tweedale and Joseph Buckland, who have enjoyed podium finishes in the last two years, are also set to be in contention.
The short programmes and pattern dance programmes are on Friday and Saturday's action features the pairs programmes.
