He will be performing some trick riding during the opening ceremony and will also give arena trial demonstrations each day.
He failed by one mark to win last week's indoor trial at Gerona in Spain, allowing local hero Marc Colomer into top spot.
Lampkin crashed off one speed section and knocked two bars off the high jump which cost him victory.
He later failed to make a plane connection and missed the second event of the weekend in Bucharest. This weekend he is taking part in an arena trial in Castelon.
