Discover the business behind darts’ youngest world champion first-hand in Manchester

Over the past couple of years, darts as a sport has experienced a significant resurgence in popularity.

Much of this is said to be attributed to the meteoric rise of one of the sport’s most remarkable emerging players, Luke Littler - recently crowned the winner of the 2025 World Championship, cementing him as the youngest world champion in darts’ history to date, aged just 17 at the time.

And now, one of the UK's most popular darts equipment providers - which is also behind a youth training academy that Littler frequented as a child - is coming to Manchester.

With a reputation for offering quality dart equipment and expertise, Target Darts is launching its first-ever official pop-up store in the heart of Spinningfields this autumn.

Open for a limited time later this month, the shop promises an immersive experience, with new Target products, items exclusive to the pop-up, and more - making it a must-visit stop for darts fans.

Target Darts prides itself on being at the forefront of the darts industry, with a continued focus on innovation and quality.

Known for its fresh designs, premium quality, and impeccable craftsmanship, the business offers a wide range of products for experienced players and beginners alike.

Boasting partnerships with some of darts’ greats, including Luke Littler, 16x world champion Phil Taylor, and current world number eight Rob Cross Target Darts is a trusted and forward-thinking brand.

Alongside its high-quality products, the business has multiple patented technologies, adding to its position in the darts tech space.

These include K-Flex and Swiss Point products, the impressive Omni auto-scoring system - which records your scoring via the Dart Counter app and allows you to play online with anyone
