North East Ready to Take Flight as Major Darts Event is Set to Return
A sell-out event which combines to pro darts players, DJs, crowd games, singalongs and even a fancy dress competition is set to return to Newcastle this autumn.
Flight Night was a huge hit when it was held at Newcastle’s Times Square earlier this year – so much so that organisers are set to do it all again.
The ultimate dart show is planned for Saturday 1 November with a whole host of pro-players including Devon Petersen, the first African winner of a PDC ranking event who represented South Africa in this year’s PDC World Cup of Darts and Middlesbrough-born Glen Durrant, who is a three times world champion and PDC Premier League Champion.
Also part of the pro-line us is world number 14, Ross Smith, a two times PDC major winner in both the European Championship and the Players Championship and Newcastle’s Ryan Joyce, world number 26 and a major semi-finalist and winner of two PDC ranking titles.
A host of other local players including John Kippen, Jonny Barnes, Jamie Durrant and Lewis Mayes will also be taking to the oche, to help make it a memorable night.
A huge 2000 capacity heated marquee is being erected for the event, where the emphasis will be on darts – and fun.
Those who enter into the full spirit of the event by dressing up can win cash prizes, along with on-stage games, singing to darts anthems and the opportunity for members of the audience to win £100 in a nine dart challenge.
Organisers EVNT Inspirations and North East Darts Promotions said previous events had been so popular that they had decided to repeat it.
“The beauty of Flight Night is that there’s something for everyone, not only darts fans but anyone who wants to come along and have a really memorable night out,” said Scott Hunt.
This time round an additional element has been added, with VIP and reserved table packages now available.
Standard tickets start from £12.50p – with no reserved seating, with VIP prices at £30 per person, which includes a VIP meet and greet at 5pm – an hour before general admission – reserved seats at the front and table service
A full table will accommodate eight guests but anyone attending can also purchase a half table or a single VIP seat which will be on a shared table.
There is also the option to reserve a table for eight guests at £140 plus booking fee or £70 plus booking fee for four seats, which will be immediately behind the VIP area.
The event runs until 10.30pm, after which the marquee will host an after party.
“This is guaranteed to be a really fun night out and one which everyone – from friends, families to work colleagues – can come along to and have an amazing evening,” Scott said.
