Digathon Metal Detecting Rally 2025
DATE August 22-25th 2025
NEWS JUST IN FOR this metal detecting weekend rally
Event Cancellation Notice
It is with a heavy heart I have to announce that our upcoming event Digathon has been cancelled due to a serious illness to myself that requires immediate treatment.
After much thought, I have had to make this extremely difficult decision as delaying treatment could have a serious impact on my life moving forward. James has begged me to make it work and has done everything in his power to try and make it work, but after speaking with the farmer, he is not comfortable with the event going ahead without both James and myself in attendance, and we must respect his decision.
We have worked tirelessly on this event for over 12 months, and we are absolutely gutted that it cannot take place. I am so, so sorry for the disappointment, upset, and ill feeling this will cause, and I sincerely apologise.
Refunds:
All participants will receive a full refund in the next few weeks. Refunds are being handled by our third-party booking company, so please allow a little time for the process to be completed.
Questions:
If you have any questions, please contact: Oliver@digathon.co.uk
Thank you for your understanding, kindness, and support during this very difficult time. If this situation were not so serious, the event would absolutely be going ahead as planned
