“We’re delighted to see The Hyde Park Darts Championship return following the huge success of last year’s event,” said PDC Chief Executive Matthew Porter. “Having some of the sport’s biggest stars involved alongside well-known celebrity names creates a fantastic atmosphere and introduces darts to a wider audience in a unique setting.
“The Great Oak Stage provides an iconic backdrop for the event and we’re looking forward to another memorable evening as part of BST Hyde Park Open House.”
