ORGANISERS have hit the bullseye with plans to bring the ultimate darts spectacular to Newcastle.
Flight Night is heading to Times Square on Friday 14 March, 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.”
Player Adam Hunt believes it is going to be an amazing evening.
“I’m looking forward to a great night in Newcastle,” he said.
“The atmosphere will be electric.”
