DARTS celebrity Eric Bristow will be making a special appearance in Brierley Hill this summer.

Renowned throughout the sport as 'The Crafty Cockney', five time world champion Bristow will take to the oche on Thursday June 18 at The Copthorne Hotel.

The event promises to be more than just a darts exhibition as Bristow will be recalling tales from his colourful career.

Fellow Sky Sports darts commentator Nigel Pearson will be hosting the evening, which will include a draw for the chance to play against Bristow.

Tickets, which include a meal, cost £30 and can be obtained online at www.sportstalkevents.co.uk or by calling 01902 244220.

There will also be an auction and raffle taking place with a donation to Compton Hospice.
