Teletubbies and Toy Story aliens spotted at Ally Pally darts
Beloved children’s characters have been spotted in the crowd at Ally Pally.
The World Darts Championship is back at Alexandra Palace, and that can only mean one thing: the return of the truly ridiculous outfits.
From childhood icons like Teletubbies to the little green aliens from Toy Story, the Ally Pally crowd has once again gone all-out, turning the stands into a full-blown fancy-dress parade.
Because at Ally Pally, the darts aren’t just a sporting event — it’s a party. And over the years, dressing up has become an unofficial rule of attendance. The louder the costume, the better.
Darts crowds are famously lively, fuelled by pints, chants, walk-on music and constant crowd participation. Add fancy dress into the mix, and the whole thing feels more like a carnival than a competition.
New fans quickly catch on, copying what they see around them and just like that, the tradition keeps snowballing year after year.
With the tournament broadcast to millions, the cameras are always on the lookout for standout outfits. Fans know there’s a good chance of their moment on TV, so dressing as bananas, superheroes, or historical figures is all part of joining the spectacle.
Many arrive in groups with coordinated looks, think ugly shirts, themed characters and matching inflatables, proving once again that at the World Darts Championship, the crowd is just as entertaining as the action on stage.
