About Us

Based in Newbury, Berkshire, Leisure Promotions were founded over 35 years ago.

Founded over 35 years ago by Mick and Julie Turrell, LP started as a small High Street store in Newbury, providing a family-focused service to both newcomers to the hobby and those with more established knowledge.

You might also know us from arranging The Newbury Rally in the 1990s, where over 1,000 detectorists would join us for a weekend of fun, socializing, and discovering lost history.

As the hobby has grown, so has LP. With over 1,500 products from the world’s most popular manufacturers for you to choose from, we work hard to ensure we have the right products at the right price. All are delivered with the same customer-focused service you can expect from a business that has retained its family ownership. So, while we are bigger than we were, every purchase and customer is as important to us now as in the 1980s.

We have a real passion for the hobby. All of us at LP detect, so we have an in-depth knowledge of our products and the hobby, too. This ensures we can give you the very best advice—whether over the phone, via webchat, or at some of the largest detecting rallies throughout the year. We are always on hand to share our knowledge with you.

This website is the next step in supplying our product to you, if there is anything else you would like to see here then please let us know.
