Iconic darts temple Circus Tavern hosts World Seniors Darts Championship

The inaugural edition of the World Seniors Darts Championship will be held at Circus Tavern from February 3-6 in 2022.

The iconic venue in Purfleet, is no stranger to the world of darts. Circus Tavern was the venue where the PDC World Darts Championship was played from 1994 to 2007. This era ended with the legendary World Championship final between Raymond van Barneveld and Phil Taylor in 2007, which was won by the Dutchman after a sudden-death leg. After that tournament, the PDC World Darts Championship moved to its current home Alexandra Palace in Londen.

The organisation of the World Seniors Darts Championship revealed the line up in the last few weeks. Among the participants are darts icons like Phil Taylor, Andy Fordham, Martin Adams, Ted Hankey and Paul Lim.

Two of the 24 spots have yet to be filled. These places will be on offer during a qualifier on November 13-14. Players over the age of 50 are eligable to enter this qualification tournament.
