At Landcraft we organise driving events throughout the year, both on our own behalf and for other organisations. We host regular off-road driving days that cater for all levels of skill and provide training sessions for those new to off-road driving. All of our driving events are held on private land and are supervised by experienced marshals, so help is always at hand if needed.
New for 2008 is a range of dates called "Drive Sixty". These give you the chance to spend the day driving 6 vehicles from the last 60 years of Land Rover, ranging from an early Series I to the very latest Land Rover models.
We have also arranged several days throughout the year which are aimed at specific vehicles in the Land Rover family. Hence the "Range Rover", "Freelander", "Discovery", "Defender" and "Leaf Sprung" days. The tracks and routes on these days will be chosen to suit these particular vehicles (although all 4x4's are of course welcome) so they are geared-up to provide a good days off-roading which can be enjoyed by all drivers of those vehicles without them feeling that they cannot attempt some routes.
We will also be attending many of the off-road shows throughout the UK. The Landcraft team also officiate at many motor sport events throughout the year.
We are hosting more of the popular activities introduced over the last year or so. The Safari Drives are aimed at the more adventurous driver. Set on private land many of the tracks have only been driven by a handful of vehicles and some of the tracks have only been explored so far on foot! If you have driven off-road before and looking for something challenging these events are not to be missed. The aim is to cover as many routes as possible in one day and, time-permitting, we will end with an unknown or little-used route to add to the challenge of the day. The Adventure Drives offer the chance to drive off road, but with the added bonus of seeing some beautiful countryside which would be very difficult without the aid of a 4x4.

Our driving events are designed to cater for all tastes. If you have a showroom condition vehicle and want to keep it that way, many of the Landcraft organised events have facilities to allow you to enjoy your vehicle's capabilities to the full without having to risk damage. We would normally suggest an Adventure Drive for a good day out off-roading - please see this years' dates above.
Although if you want the excitement of axle deep mud, bonnet high water, and hills that disappear into the horizon we provide that too! All in a well-supervised environment that means if you need assistance it's not too far away. In this case a Safari Drive would seem appropriate - please see this years' dates above.
