Also on show will be Welsh stars of past and present Jim Williams, Peter Locke, Barrie Bates, Richie Davies, Wayne Warren and Dai Caller.

“I’m really looking forward to this,” said Webster, who famously claimed World Championship glory in 2008.

“Leighton Rees was a giant of the game we all love. Not only was he the first big Welsh star but he was also the first ever World Champion and it will be fantastic to honour him and celebrate darts in Wales with this unique event.”

Leighton Rees won the inaugural World Professional Darts Championship in 1978 and was runner-up the following year. One of the sports first icons, Rees passed away in 2003.
