If you've missed the buzz of watching a live sporting event in the pub, packed with friends and soaking up the atmosphere - you're in luck.
The Parking Lot Social, Scotland’s biggest ever drive-in tour, has announced that it will be hosting the first live audience sporting event since the start of lockdown.
Sports fans can watch Scotland vs. England Darts Classic 2020 on stage at the drive-in tour this summer, all from the comfort of their own car.
The tournament will take place on Thursday 20 August in Edinburgh’s Dalkeith Country Park.
Taking to the stage is two-time PDC World Champion Adrian ‘Jackpot’ Lewis, who will be joined by fellow Englishmen and three-time BDO World Champions Glen ‘Duzza’ Durrant and Martin ‘Wolfie’ Adams.
East Kilbride born and former Finder Darts Masters Champion, Ross ‘The Boss’ Montgomery, will be playing for Scotland, with the final competitors still to be announced.
The rivals will take part in a series of singles and doubles matches and be crowned The Parking Lot Classic Champions 2020.
The popularity of darts - which famously draw party-filled crowds - means the event is likely to sell out fast, with a capacity of 250 cars permitted.
Josh Kinnersley, Chief Operating Officer at XL Event Lab, promises the event will be a safe and spectacular return to live sporting events in Scotland: "Our Scotland vs. England Darts Classic is the first sporting event to be played in front of a live audience in the UK since lockdown began, and it’s fantastic to be able to incorporate this into our drive-in tour.
"Audiences have been starved of live sports events for the past few months so we’ve used our drive-in mechanic as a means to bring people together in a safe way, while encapsulating the buzz of a live, competitive event."
Tickets for The Parking Lot Social Scotland vs. England Darts Classic start at £39 per car and on sale now here.
