Eventbrite gung-ho cancellation

Hi all. 
I was due to do a gung ho obstacle course last year, that obviously got postponed & I naively assumed it would just go ahead this year. There has been no communication from them or eventbrite at all & there’s been no adjustments to their website either (still advertising 2020 events) so I’m guessing the company has gone bust. I contacted PayPal but they said it’s gone beyond a year so they can’t do anything. I just wondered if I had any rights to get my money back (as I’m sure there was something on the news about rights with similar situations of cancelled events). Or should I accept that I (& many others I’m sure) have lost my money. 
Thanks

    I take it that's Eventbrite you've looked up? It's not them organising the event, they just do the ticketing etc.

    Assuming the event was organised by the company detailed on their terms here, it's Brown Bread (UK) Ltd, who still exist. Though their last accounts suggest they were in the red even at the end of 2019, so I wouldn't have much hope for a refund.
