Doncaster GO Wild Area 2025 Celebrations are here this Sunday 16th November!
We are here to provide the perfect chill out zone, right in the centre of the action on Doncaster Market Square!
When the gaming ends at 6pm, (or before too if you wanna chill in a family friendly environment), come and join us as we host the GOWA Sunday Social after party! We have themed team cocktails and mocktails, quizzes, contests and games galore!
Whispered among the trees of the wild area, a new chapter awaits brave Trainers. Follow the shimmering lights and discover encounters spun from folklore and stardust.
Wait… an Official Pokémon GO Event?!
Yes, Niantic are delivering an in-person Community Celebration event — right here in Doncaster.
Niantic, Raiding Doncaster and Beyond along with Community Ambassador teams from across the north of England have teamed up to help deliver Europe's first ever official Pokémon GO: Community Celebration event.
This is where community passion meets official gameplay. Expect a true in-person experience both on the ground in the City of Doncaster and in-game. From official route tours and raid trains, to geocache adventures and competitive challenges, to live activities and celebrations across the city.
On Sunday, 16th November, the Wild Area comes alive at Doncaster Market and Corn Exchange from 10am till 6pm.
This is not just an event. It's a milestone — where the communities of the North unite to deliver something truly world-class. Join us. Be a part of Pokémon GO history.
What to Expect?
“The Wild Awakens”
The Wild Awakens is a community-run creative experience designed, developed and organised by Community Ambassadors. This experience is not sponsored by or affiliated with Niantic, Scopely, The Pokémon Company, Game Freak or The Pokémon Company International.
The ancient Fairy Council has stirred from their slumber, and a mysterious energy is spreading across Doncaster.
In its wake rises a protest movement calling themselves Team NO Wild — a group claiming to “protect” nature by driving Trainers from the city. But their motives may not be as pure as they seem.
This original storyline has been developed by the Raiding Doncaster and Beyond Community Ambassadors as an independent, fan-made experience, created to celebrate the spirit of exploration and community that Pokémon GO inspires.
On 16 November, during the Doncaster Community Celebrations, Trainers can take part in activities inspired by this story in live in-person activities exclusive to the day.
Will you side with the Fairy Council, restoring balance to the Wild? Or align with Team NO Wild, seeking to control its growing power?

Route tours, NO Wild PVP battles and more will be available throughout the day. Timings will be shared closer to the event. This agenda is for the event on Sunday 16th November. For details regarding meet-ups on Saturday 15th November, please check Campfire.
