I heard that the speakers are there on Sunday mornings, but on this site Rick Steves says that it is on Sunday afternoons. Then I read somewhere else that it is on the weekends (including Saturdays I presume). Can anyone give me accurate information? I remember going there as a kid and enjoyed it and would like to take my kids there. We will be driving back from Cornwall (Polmorla, Wadebridge) on Sunday morning. Will it be possible for us to be there while it is good?

Things get going late on Sundays in Central London, the shops in neighbouring Oxford Street don't open until 11:00 for example.
For Speaker's corner get there about lunch time and through the afternoon.
Its a very informal affair, people speak when they're ready there are no set hours. Biggest crowds are through the afternoon, so most speakers want to be speaking with the maximum potential audience.
Don't bother with Saturday.

Yes most things do start late on Sundays since businesses can only be open for a maximum of 6 hours.

Late late mornings into the early afternoon. But as another poster mentioned, it depends on the speakers; by its very nature, Speakers Corner is not on a formal schedule.
