I attended the 2025 World Matchplay Darts Final at Winter Gardens Blackpool, and took part in one of the hospitality packages — and it did not disappoint. The hospitality and entertainment were excellent. The food, facilities, and view of the match from our seats were all very good, but what really blew me away was the entertainment before the main event. Having darts legends interact with guests and take part in mini-games was a brilliant touch — it created a fun, relaxed atmosphere and perfectly set the tone for the evening. My colleagues, our clients, and I all had a fantastic night. A top-class experience from start to finish.
