The Crown in Powick has become known as a top darts destination since Mike Skilbeck and his wife Kellie took over three months ago.

The Crown in Powick, just off the A449 in Malvern Road, has built a reputation as a top darts destination since Mike Skilbeck and his wife Kellie took on the pub three months ago. The spacious car park and premises make it easily accessible to passing trade between Worcester and Malvern.

Under the new management, the pub has developed a growing reputation for darts while also building a loyal local following. The team has decorated the pub with a Remembrance Day mural covering one wall, created by Spyder Web, which reflects the establishment's commitment to charitable causes.

The pub supports several charities and causes, including the Royal British Legion, Huntington's disease research and homeless support services. Mr Skilbeck, aged 45, has connections to darts circles, knowing darts legend Bobby George, who regularly signs items for the pub's auctions and raffles.
