Sport's Biggest Party moves into Ally Pally's Great Hall for the first time, with a record 180,000 tickets across three and a half weeks. Whichever session you're holding a ticket for, skip the hill up from Wood Green and the scrum for the shuttle bus — book a fixed-fare car straight to the door.
11 Dec 2026 – 3 Jan 2027
The Worlds move into Alexandra Palace's larger Great Hall for the first time this year, with a record 180,000 tickets across the run — afternoon and evening sessions almost every day from mid-December through to the final on 3 January, with a short break over Christmas itself. Whichever session you're at, the venue's one quirk stays the same: getting up (and down) the hill.
Now in the Great Hall — capacity up from around 3,200 to over 5,200 per session. Sits at the top of Alexandra Park, above Wood Green.
Wood Green station is the nearest tube, but it's a genuine uphill walk, or a shuttle bus that gets packed fast. A car collects from the West Drive entrance instead.
Darts crowds travel in numbers and dress up for it. We price for groups as standard, not as an add-on.

Nothing, if it's dry and you fancy it — but Alexandra Palace sits at the top of a genuinely steep hill, and after an evening session in December, in the cold, in a suit, having had a drink, most people would rather not. The free shuttle bus gets crowded fast; a pre-booked car collects from the West Drive entrance instead.
