Detectorcon 2021

North of the Tyne Detecting is a group based in the North East of England, created by detectorists for detectorists.

Friday 23rd - Sunday 25th July, 2021

North of the Tyne Detecting is very excited to announce that we will be holding a weekend rally next July - Detectorcon!

We have a whopping 900 acres of previously undetected land, in a historically-rich area near Bellingham, Northumberland. There will be live evening entertainment, a marquee with traders, full licensed bar, food stands, fire-pit, prize raffle, onsite camping and more!

​Full weekend tickets include camping and detecting Friday-to-Sunday. Day tickets are also available for Saturday and Sunday. There will only be a limited number of tickets available - so get yours before they run out!

This is an event not to be missed! Visit our Detectorcon Rally page to find out more...

Unfortunately, we will not be holding Detectorcon 2020 this year, due to the COVID-19 situation. For those of you that have already purchased tickets - these will automatically transfer and be valid for Detectorcon 2021 instead.

If you wish to obtain a refund, this can be done via the Eventbrite website.
