Fancy Dress Spectacle at 2026 World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace
The 2026 World Darts Championship concluded at Alexandra Palace, popularly known as Ally Pally, showcased not only the sporting action but also a vivid display of fan creativity through fancy dress.
A Guardian gallery highlighted an array of costume themes worn by attendees, including characters from Shrek and the Wizard of Oz, as well as more whimsical choices like sausage dogs, a gingerbread man, and a representation of a German sherbet powder brand.
Security moments captured the amusing scene of chickens entering the venue and undergoing searches.
Photographs credited to The Guardian photographer Tom Jenkins and agencies such as Getty Images, with contributions from photographers including James Fearn, Neil Hall, Steven Paston, John Walton, Andy Rain, Adam Davy, Godfrey Pitt, Warren Little, and Paul Childs, capture the lively atmosphere.
The captions accompanying the images reference fan groups like The Wallies, a large costumed duo, interval dancers, and various playful antics enjoyed during the event.
This visual coverage emphasizes the sartorial spectacle of the fans at the championship, focusing on the vibrant atmosphere rather than match results.
