Defender Cross Country Experience
The best way to really get a feel for a vehicle is to experience it in your element.
We’re thrilled to invite you to embark on an exhilarating journey and experience the full capabilities of the latest Defender, in an environment you’re likely familiar with. Taking control in the driver’s seat, you’ll tackle the equestrian country course under the guided expertise of professional instructors who will talk you through how to navigate undulating terrain, boggy water ponds, drops, and more. This exclusive opportunity is free-of-cost, however bookings are essential as spots are limited.
