With indoor licensed venues such as bars and pubs reopening on Monday May 17 as the next stage in the UK government's roadmap out of the Coronavirus pandemic, PDC and Unicorn have teamed up for the Support Your Local campaign.
This sees 50 dartboards donated to local pubs across the UK with darts fans able to
nominate their local pub to receive a new Unicorn Eclipse dartboard through the scheme.
As well as this, darts players and celebrity fans are encouraged to gift a board to their favourite pub to get darts being played in the pubs once more.
Matt Porter, PDC Chief Executive said: "It's been an incredibly challenging year for lots of industries, not just for pubs, but the connection between the local and our sport is something we wanted to celebrate and support.
"Many players learned their trade in pub teams and the local remains a key part of the sport at grassroots level. By sending new boards to venues up and down the country, we hope that darts players and pub goers can enjoy the safe return to pubs with a dart in their hand."
Edward Lowy, Unicorn Products Ltd Managing Director, said: "It's been a long wait and the last year has been so tough on the hospitality industry. Unicorn are delighted to partner with the PDC to shout out to darts players around the land that it's time to get back on the oche.
"This is a great move for league and grass-roots darts; for the pub trade and for darts - Game On!"
