Aldersley Leisure Village's history with the Grand Slam of Darts
The Grand Slam of Darts has been held in Wolverhampton since its 2007 launch. Wolverhampton Civic Hall was the tournament's home for its first eleven years, and in 2018 the event moved to Aldersley Leisure Village, which is still where it is staged. That same year the winner's trophy was named the Eric Bristow Trophy, after the five-time world champion.
