Get ready for a truly unforgettable evening at the Haywards Heath Social Club, where we’re bringing you an exciting night of top-class darts, great entertainment, and a fantastic community atmosphere. We are thrilled to welcome Dutch PDC star Gian “The Giant” van Veen—currently ranked 3rd in the world—alongside Sussex’s very own rising PDC sensation, Tavis “The Dude” Dudeney. It’s not every day you get to see talent like this up close, and we’re incredibly proud to host them right here in Haywards Heath.

During the night, Gian will be stepping up to the oche to take on up to 20 members of the public. Whether you’re a seasoned darts player or just fancy giving it a go for fun, this is your chance to play against one of the world’s best. Every participant will receive a medal to mark the occasion, making it a memorable experience for all. To top it off, Gian will then go head-to-head with Tavis in a special showcase match for the Sussex European Challenge Cup—a clash you absolutely won’t want to miss!

Our friends from Throw Darts of Haywards Heath, the area’s number-one venue for everything darts-related, will be there throughout the evening with a great selection of merchandise. You’ll also have the chance to take part in our raffle and auction, giving you even more opportunities to get involved and maybe even win something special.

Of course, no good night out is complete without great food and drink. You can enjoy affordable social club bar prices, and we’ll also have a dedicated food stall serving tasty options including burgers, hot dogs, jacket potatoes, and a variety of vegan choices—something for everyone.

This promises to be a lively, friendly, and fun-filled event that brings the community together for a night of entertainment you’ll be talking about for a long time. Tickets start from just £45, and with interest already high, we expect this event to sell out quickly.
