Calling all darts fans, as there’s a new pop-up darting experience coming to Manchester this September that you’ll want to target. The pop-up comes from one of the world’s leading darts manufacturers, Target Darts, and marks the world’s first-ever dedicated darts fan experience store.
To celebrate the release of their new and biggest ever range of darting products, Target Darts will be hosting a pop-up experience at The Avenue in Spinningfields, Manchester – formerly home to the official Oasis Live ’25 Manchester fan store. Plus, visitors attending on opening day will have the chance to meet some of the biggest names in darts, such as PDC World Champion Luke Littler, 16-time World Champion Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor and 2025 Premier League stars Rob Cross, Nathan Aspinall, Chris Dobey, and Stephen Bunting.
What to expect at the Target Darts pop-up experience
The pop-up gives fans the chance to immerse themselves in the world of darts and get hands-on with the latest, cutting-edge darting products. The grand opening will take place at 12.30pm on Wednesday 18th September, revealing the new products for the very first time in line with the official worldwide online launch.
Over its two-week run, the Target pop-up experience will offer interactive fun and exclusive surprises, including shopping exclusive merchandise only available in-store and taking part in fan-focused activities and experiences. Plus, fans can test their skills on five state-of-the-art Omni lanes, featuring fast auto-scoring, detailed performance tracking and next-level gameplay – available to book here.
Special highlights include professional players dropping in throughout the pop-up’s duration, meet-and-greet sessions with Phil Taylor, and coaching sessions with 2020 Premier League winner and Sky Sports commentator Glen Durrant.
A pop-up experience “for anyone who loves the thrill of the oche”
James Tattersall, Managing Director at Target Darts, said: “Manchester has always been a great city full of energy, passion and a strong community, which matches our spirit at Target and there couldn’t have been a more perfect place to launch our pop-up. At Target, we’re always looking to push the boundaries of the darts fan experience, and with this pop-up we wanted to create a true world first experience that celebrates the sport in an entirely new way.
“This is going to be an amazing event, not just for die-hard darts fans, but for anyone who loves the thrill of the oche. We can’t wait to welcome everyone from Manchester and all over to test our latest products, meet their darts heroes, and dive into the ultimate Target Darts experience”.
