Darts "spectacular" to take over Times Square in March
A tournament featuring the North East’s top darts players will take over a city centre site in March.
Flight Night is heading to Times Square on Friday, March 14, promising an action packed evening featuring top North East pros, who will be battling it out for a £1000 cash prize.
And to add to the excitement there will be games and competitions, live DJs, top food stalls and a £100 prize for the best fancy dress.
Darts is currently on the crest of a huge wave, with the sport’s popularity having soared massively in recent years.
And now fans from across the region can join the action on home ground, watching well-loved players such as Adam Hunt, Ryan Joyce, Callan Rydz and Robert Grundy show their expertise.
The evening has been organised by EVNT Inspirations, the people behind a whole host of top experiences including the Christmas Alpine bar Moosenwirt and last year’s Newcastle Christmas Village, as well as the highly popular Oktoberfest, also held at Times Square.
They have joined forces with Scott Hunt of North East Darts Promotions to ensure that Flight Night is an event not to be missed.
“Our event at Times Square is set to be a spectacular showcase of talent, energy and community spirit,” said Scott.
“With four of the North East’s finest professional competing in a heated marquee and a £1000 top prize on the line, this promises to be a night to remember.”
The first batch of early bird tickets are now on sale, costing £10 plus a booking fee for unreserved seating. Prices will increase to £17.50 plus booking fee for the second release and then £22.50 plus booking fee for the final release.
Flight Night is just one of the events taking place at Times Square over that weekend, as part of the run-up to St Patrick’s Day.
Paddy Fest is returning for the seventh time, which includes the opportunity to watch the Six Nations live on a big screen and live entertainment, competitive stage games and DJs.
Nigel Holliday, co-director of EVNT Inspirations added that it would be a spectacular weekend.
“We’ve put together an amazing programme of which Flight Night is definitely going to be one of the highlights,” he said.
“There is so much interest in darts and we’ve set out to make this a fun and friendly night which everyone can enjoy.”
