Pac-Man ghost street art in Düsseldorf, Germany

Spotting the Pac-Man ghost stickers in Düsseldorf.

Emily recently returned from Düsseldorf, Germany and while there noticed a lot of Pac-Man ghosts stuck up around the city.

This was the first Pac-Man ghost Emily spotted

The Pac-Man ghost stickers are the work of the street artist known as Pdot who has put up 2,000 of the stickers in Düsseldorf!

We're big fans of video games, Pac-Man and street art, so it was a nice surprise for Emily to see them on her trip.

A yellow ghost. The stickers by Pdot are only found on the back of street signs

A red ghost. And oh look, a tram too!

They're hidden in plain sight everywhere!

Ghetto Golf at Hoults Yard in Byker, Newcastle

A look at the latest Ghetto Golf Crazy Golf course.

Earlier this year the team at Ghetto Golf opened their third indoor minigolf venue with an 18-hole course at Hoults Yard in Byker, Newcastle.

We swung by for a look on Saturday afternoon and found the course to be proving very popular.

Ghetto Golf is something a bit different

The UV areas of the course are my favourite.

The graffiti artists certainly like retro games and 80's pop culture.

Bit rude!

There are also Ghetto Golf courses in Liverpool and Birmingham. Check out the Ghetto Golf website for more information.

Something is definitely wrong with this lavvy hole!

Down the pan...

I'm not sure you'll be feeling too flush after putting into this pan!

The Simpsons street art in Newcastle

I love finding street art and I'm a big fan of The Simpsons so it was superb to find this huge mural near The Tyne Bar on the quayside in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Nice

We spotted the artwork while walking along the waterside

We also spotted some Simpsons-related pieces by the Cack Handed Kid on our walk around the city.

Plonk Golf in Shoreditch

A visit to the new Plonk Golf course in Shoreditch, London.

While down in London I swung by the new Plonk Golf indoor Crazy Golf course in Shoreditch.

The 9-hole Plonk Golf Shoreditch course is nicely laid out

The venue is nicely hidden in plain sight on Bethnal Green Road.

I walked past the graffiti covered entrance once while looking for the venue!

The first Plonk Golf course I played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was the pop-up at Efes Snooker Club in Dalston back in April 2015. Since then the team at Plonk Golf have opened a number of other pop-ups, as well as a few permanent courses.

The volcano hole is something of a trademark on Plonk Golf courses

Plonk Golf Shoreditch was the 860th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006.

There's a very nice minigolf message on this sign

New Ghetto Golf course opening in Newcastle

New Ghetto Golf indoor minigolf course opening in Newcastle upon Tyne.

The team at Ghetto Golf are set to open their next indoor Crazy Golf venue at Hoults Yard in Newcastle this summer.

The first Ghetto Golf course opened at Cains Brewery in Liverpool

The first Ghetto Golf course opened at Cains Brewery in Liverpool, with a second location opening in Digbeth, Birmingham in 2017.

With the growth in popularity of indoor adults-only Crazy Golf the new course in Newcastle will be a smash hit 

In addition to the 18-hole minigolf course the Ghetto Golf venue will also have a bar and street food.

House of Holes indoor Crazy Golf opening in Derby this month

The new adults-only House of Holes indoor Crazy Golf course is opening in Derby this month.

The date has been set for the grand opening of Derby’s brand new adults-only indoor Crazy Golf course, with the House of Holes venue officially opening to the public on Saturday 16th March.

A sneak peak at hole 1 of the new House of Holes Crazy Golf course

House of Holes has been created in the former Grand Theatre on Babington Lane in Derby. As well as the intriguing Crazy Golf course the venue will serve street food and cocktails accompanied by music from a resident DJ.

The House of Holes course will consist of 18 individually themed holes decorated with memorabilia, shop mannequins and other odd and interesting obstacles including a full-size plane – a nod to Rolls-Royce and Derby’s aerospace industry – roller boots and a large neon-lit guitar, which was discovered in the building’s basement and is believed to be over 30 years old.

The venue has, over the years, been home to a number of nightclubs called Ritzy’s, McClusky’s and Confetti’s.

We're looking forward to seeing what the rest of the House of Holes Crazy Golf course looks like

In addition to the work on the course itself, House of Holes has employed local graffiti artists to decorate the walls of the building, while old copies of Viz cover the interior of the men’s toilets!

I'm a big fan Viz comic, although it's not as funny as it used to be

In the last couple of years indoor Crazy Golf has really taken off and is fast becoming a favourite choice for a fun night out, as well as a popular day time activity.

Bookings are now being taken via the House of Holes’ Facebook page, with an 18-hole round of Crazy Golf costing £10.

For more information check out the House of Holes website, Facebook Page, Instagram and Twitter.

We're looking forward to a return visit to Derby and playing the course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Ghetto Golf in Liverpool

A visit to Ghetto Golf in Liverpool.

In October last year we met up with our friend and old Dodgeball rival 'Rowdy' Russell Fenner in Liverpool and swung by the Ghetto Golf indoor Crazy Golf course at Cains Brewery.

Ghetto Golf in Liverpool became the 847th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

That's a real fruit machine on the course

I wouldn't fancy looking in this fridge

Pac-Man is there too!

We've also been to the Ghetto Golf course in Digbeth, Birmingham. That venue was the 780th course visited on our minigolfing travels.
