Soft Tip Dartboard Hire
Electronic soft tip dartboards with plastic-tipped darts and automatic scoring. The safer way to bring darts to family fun days, schools, office parties and busy public events across the UK.
What is soft tip darts hire?
Soft tip darts use lightweight darts with flexible plastic points. They land in an electronic board made up of thousands of tiny holes, and sensors score each dart the moment it hits. There's no chalk, no maths and no sharp steel points.
That makes soft tip dartboard hire ideal wherever you have mixed ages, lots of people passing by or a venue that would rather avoid steel darts.
- Plastic-tipped darts that are lighter and safer
- Automatic electronic scoring on every throw
- Easy for complete beginners and children to play
- Fun party games as well as classic 501 and cricket
- Delivered, set up and collected anywhere in the UK
Perfect events for soft tip darts
Family fun days & schools
Safer darts that children and adults can enjoy together at fêtes, fun days, school fairs and proms.
Busy public events
Shopping centres, festivals and open days, where lots of people pass close to the play area.
Office & Christmas parties
Easy, social games that get the whole team involved, with leaderboards for a bit of friendly rivalry.
Soft tip or steel tip darts hire?
We hire both. Steel tip interactive dartboards use real Winmau bristle boards for the authentic pub and PDC feel that keen players love. Soft tip boards trade that for lighter plastic darts and a lower-risk set-up.
Not sure which suits your event? Tell us who's playing, how many guests you expect and where it's taking place, and we'll recommend the right boards. Both can be fully branded with your logo.
Soft tip dartboard hire FAQ
What is a soft tip dartboard?
A soft tip dartboard is an electronic board covered in thousands of small holes. The darts have flexible plastic tips that stick in the holes, and sensors behind the board score every throw automatically.
Is soft tip darts safer than steel tip?
Plastic tips are lighter and blunter than steel points, so soft tip darts are a popular choice for family events, schools, busy public spaces and anywhere you want to keep risk low.
Are soft tip dartboards suitable for children?
Yes. Soft tip darts are often chosen for family fun days, school fairs and children's parties. We still recommend supervision and a clear throw area, which our throw mats mark out.
Do soft tip boards score automatically?
Yes. Every dart is detected and scored by the board, with the score shown on screen, so nobody has to add up or chalk the scores.
Should I choose soft tip or steel tip?
Steel tip gives the authentic pub and PDC feel that keen players love. Soft tip is lighter, safer and great for mixed ages. Tell us about your guests and venue and we'll recommend the best fit.
