Luke Littler and Nathan Aspinall meet fans at Meadowhall as Sheffield leg of Premier League Darts begins

On May 21, 2025, darts superstars Luke Littler and Nathan Aspinall thrilled fans at Meadowhall Shopping Centre in Sheffield, launching their first-ever retail venture, the Littler & Aspinall Shop, ahead of the Premier League Darts Night 16 at Utilita Arena. The pop-up store, curated by their back-of-shirt sponsor The Fan Cave, opened for three days (May 21-23) and offered exclusive merchandise, including limited-edition apparel, dart equipment, and signed collectables. The grand opening featured a meet-and-greet from 5-6 PM, with fans paying just £5 for tickets to interact with the players, as reported by The Star and GB News. Littler, the reigning PDC World Champion, expressed his excitement, stating, “Opening my first shop is a dream come true. It’s about sharing the passion and giving back to the fans.” Aspinall echoed this, saying, “I’m buzzing… this is for the fans and anyone who loves the game.”

The event coincided with the final league-stage night of the 2025 Premier League Darts, where Littler, already secured as table-topper, faced Stephen Bunting in the quarter-finals, while Aspinall took on Michael van Gerwen in a critical match for the last play-off spot. Aspinall’s 6-1 win over Chris Dobey in Aberdeen the previous week had given him a four-point lead over Van Gerwen, making their Sheffield clash pivotal. Fans on X, like @lynz_twin2, shared their excitement about meeting Littler and Aspinall, with some securing autographs and selfies. The pop-up shop and the Sheffield leg underscored Littler’s and Aspinall’s growing stardom, with the former aiming to defend his 2024 Premier League title at the O2 on May 29.
