Try your hand at trials riding with this fun and confidence-boosting two-hour adult taster session in Whitewell, Lancashire. Designed especially for first-timers, this session eases you into off-road motorcycle control and gets you riding across exciting terrain in no time.
After signing in, you'll be kitted up with all the gear you need, followed by a short but important safety video. You’ll meet your instructor and be matched to a suitable trials bike – petrol or electric depending on your choice and what suits you best. There’s no need to worry if you’ve never been on a motorcycle before – your instructor will guide you through the basics step by step.
The session begins on flat ground where you’ll learn how to control the throttle, use the clutch, and balance at low speed. As your confidence grows, the instructor will mark out 'sections' using coloured flags – these are simple obstacles designed to gently challenge your control and balance. You’ll ride across grassy fields, slopes and over purpose-built features, always at your own pace. The session is adjusted in real time to suit how the group is doing, so it stays fun and never overwhelming. Whether you're here to try something new or thinking of taking things further, this is a solid, exciting starting point.
This session takes place in Whitewell, a scenic area in the Forest of Bowland, Lancashire. The site is surrounded by fields, gentle hills, and farm tracks – ideal terrain for beginners who want a bit of variety without anything too intense. It’s peaceful and rural, with wide-open views and lots of space to ride.
The riding area is purpose-built for trials training, with a mix of open land and section areas clearly marked out for different levels. Facilities include shelter, toilets, refreshments, and parking. Parents or guardians of under 18s are welcome to stay on-site, and there’s home baking and hot drinks available while you wait.
You do not need a motorcycle licence, previous off-road experience, or any prior riding skills. The course is designed specifically for complete beginners.
If you’re under 18, a parent or guardian must stay at the venue for the entire duration of the session. Riding kit is included, but bring your own clothing layers to wear underneath, especially in colder weather.
This location is known for being one of the best beginner-friendly trials venues in the UK, thanks to expert instructors and a relaxed, supportive approach. Lessons are delivered in small groups and progress is tailored to each individual, so no one is left behind or pushed too far.
The training bikes are modern and well-maintained, with a range of petrol and electric options to suit different preferences. Whether you BYOB or hire one of ours, you’ll be set up with the right kit and advice to get started safely and with confidence. It's a fun, accessible way to try trials riding – no pressure, just plenty of encouragement and a few laughs along the way.
No motorcycle licence is required for this session. The course is aimed at beginners and is entirely off-road, so no road-legal experience is necessary. This makes it perfect for anyone who’s curious about motorcycles or trials riding but hasn’t yet tried it.
The focus is on safe, low-speed riding and building confidence. Even if you’ve never sat on a motorbike before, the instructors will guide you step by step and make sure you’re comfortable before progressing.
Trials riding is all about control, balance and precision rather than speed. You’ll be riding at low speeds over natural and purpose-built terrain, aiming to navigate ‘sections’ without putting your feet down or losing balance.
Unlike motocross or enduro, trials doesn’t involve racing or high-speed jumps. It’s more technical and mentally engaging, which is why it’s often considered one of the best ways to learn the fundamentals of motorbike handling.
Yes, you're welcome to bring your own trials bike if you prefer. There’s a discounted price for those using their own bikes, and instructors can still offer guidance tailored to your model.
Your bike will need to meet certain safety standards before you’re allowed to ride, so it’ll be checked by staff on arrival. If it’s not suitable, you’ll have the option to hire one of the centre's bikes (subject to availability).
The available fleet includes electric and petrol models like the EM Epure FACTOR-e, EM Epure Race, Beta Evo 250 2-stroke, and Montesa 4RT 260 4-stroke. These cover a broad range of rider preferences and sizes.
You’ll be matched to a bike that suits your ability and confidence level. While specific requests can be made, final decisions will be based on availability and what your instructor feels will give you the best experience.
Absolutely – this taster session is designed specifically for those with no prior motorbike or trials experience. The instruction is progressive, and the environment is relaxed and encouraging.
You’ll start with the basics like throttle control, braking and balance before moving on to easy obstacles. Everyone is encouraged to go at their own pace, and there’s no pressure to try anything you're not ready for.
A full riding kit is included: helmet, gloves, boots, trials pants, and a jersey. However, sizes are limited – jersey up to 46” chest, trousers up to 40” waist, helmet up to 63cm, and boots up to EU size 50.
You should wear comfortable base layers, and bring spare socks and a change of clothes just in case. Waterproofs can be hired as an optional extra, which is a good idea in poor weather.
Yes – participants aged 12 and up can take part, but anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who must stay on site for the full duration of the session.
The activity is suitable for young riders as long as they’re physically able to control the bike. Instructors are experienced in working with teenagers and will adjust the session based on each individual's needs.
