Tournament Highlights
What a championship! We’ve all gone ‘Bunting mental’, been treated to epic moments from legends like Peter Wright, watched what feels like a breakout performance from Callan Rydz and, of course, enjoyed next-level darts from the world’s best, including finalists Luke Littler and Michael van Gerwen. Plus, we’ve seen two nine-darters so far, with an added bonus of £60k going to a fan and £60k to charity for the first time ever this year.

Flights of fancy (dress)
In the words of Time Out: “it’s the ultra-convivial, ultra-up for it crowd that makes the darts so special. Fancy dress isn’t just encouraged, it’s practically mandatory. On any given session you might spot a gang of traffic cones heckling a Pink Panther struggling to carry four jugs of Neck Oil. Or maybe eight Friesian cows, their udders fit to burst, sitting politely behind a squadron of Where’s Wally’s”.
