A new darts venue with a bar, café and shop is gearing up to open in Norwich.

After discovering the sport three years ago, Cameron Clarke became hooked on darts and "hasn't stopped playing since".

His passion for darts has continued to grow and following the sport's soaring popularity after Luke Littler's 2024 World Championship run, he decided to open ArrowHeadz.

The venue will feature three bookable dart lanes, each hosting up to four players at a time, with two of the boards having a state-of-the-art automated scoring system.

“I was working away from home with a friend who was a huge darts fan and we would venture out to find a pub with a dartboard most evenings," Mr Clarke said. 

"I haven’t stopped playing since and it sparked my idea for the business."

He is hoping to create a space for enthusiasts and beginners to learn the game and compete against each other.

“Ultimately, we would love to have people competing against one another remotely in other ArrowHeadz venues, using camera technology from Scolia, so that is something we are working towards in the future," he said.

"And we would love for people to think about forming their own ArrowHeadz team in Norwich, as breaking into an established darts team can be tough.

"We hope to run our own competitions, coaching workshops and give people the chance to hire out the venue for small private parties too.”

The venue is hoping to run its own competitions and coaching workshops with the aim of creating an established team.

Located on the ground floor of Castle Quarter, next to Putt Putt Noodle, ArrowHeadz opens at 11am on August 31.

Rob Bradley, centre manager of Castle Quarter, added: “It’s really exciting to welcome another competitive socialising and sports venue to the Castle Quarter leisure quarter and we wish Cameron every success with the new business."
