Gerwyn Price reckons buying a FARM has transformed his darts after splashing out on 200-acre plot of land

Gerwyn Price has credited a rather unexpected lifestyle decision for his resurgent form in the 2026 Premier League Darts — buying a farm.

The Iceman is the only player in the competition to have won multiple nightly titles this season, and after his dominant Night 9 performance in Manchester — where he swept aside Luke Humphries, Stephen Bunting and Gian van Veen with averages of 104.5, 112.9 and 105.8 respectively — he revealed the real reason behind his mental uplift.

The former world champion disclosed that his triumphant evening in Manchester came just hours after he finally sealed a deal on a 200-acre plot of land he’d been chasing for months.

Speaking on the Double Tops Podcast, Price admitted the lengthy purchase process had weighed on him heavily: “I’ve been wanting to complete for the last couple of months and I’ve probably done the solicitor’s heads in. I just wanted to complete just so I can get it behind me and concentrate and yeah, the completion came through about five o’clock today and then I was like, happy days.”

The Welshman confessed his ambitions had grown somewhat beyond a modest smallholding: “I’ve always wanted a little bit of a small holding, but I don’t know if 200 acres is a small holding. I’ve gone all out.”

The farm is located in Treharris, a village near his hometown of Markham in south Wales, where Price also owns a fish and chip shop. His brother is set to help him get it up and running: “My brother works for me, so he’ll give me a hand and then the other family members will get stuck in and start milking some cows, I think.”

The Welshman previously bought 185 acres of land that included 100 acres of woodland, and he plans to renovate a farmhouse that has been unused for three decades.

There could also be a television dimension to the venture. Price has floated the possibility of cameras rolling during the renovation, though he was quick to dismiss any comparisons with Jeremy Clarkson’s hit series: “There might be a series on it. I think a documentary, or maybe a TV channel coming in and filming. Not like Clarkson’s Farm or something. Just for the renovation side of it. It’s going to take 12–18 months to get everything sorted before we actually move on.”

Price also shared an amusing story about living next door to his fish and chip shop in Markham — revealing that customers regularly arrive at the driveway to take photographs of his car, including once when it was sitting on the drive with a flat tyre.

Despite sitting in the top three of the Premier League table, Price is refusing to get carried away. “You know it is still not in the bag that I’m going to be in the playoffs, so I need to keep playing well week after week,” he said.

The farm appears to be doing the trick for now. With six nights of Premier League action remaining before the top four advance to Finals Night at The O2 on 28 May, Price has given himself every chance of being there.
