Darts enthusiast? Then step into our Fanzones, the ultimate destination for darting enthusiasts! Our Fanzones are packed with opportunities to get up close and personal with the legends of the sports at the Ladbrokes UK Open this March. During this two-hour experience, over the weekend we’ll have live Q+A’s with iconic figures like ‘the voice of darts, Russ Bray and former world number 1 Steve Beaton – to exclusive meet and greets, which we guarantee will be buzzing with excitement. Hosted by Paul Starr, each session offers the chance for us to dive deep into the world of darts, have a drink with fellow fans, and maybe even hear that famous "One huuuundreeeed and eighty!" call while you’re playing as Russ Bray scores the action in our Butlin's Soft Tip Darts Championship (Russ in attendance on Saturday only). Get involved with competitions, selfies, signings, and soak up the unbeatable atmosphere. With prizes, giveaways, and the chance to rub shoulders with the stars, the Fanzones are the perfect place to be before each session of darts. We’ll see you there!<|}p>
