Event main image
Far younger than other dates in the calendar, the Cotswold Trial has nonetheless firmly established itself as the fitting finale to the trials season. Event headquarters will once again be based at Prescott, where the crowds will gather to watch four of the day’s competitive sections in the grounds of the famous Hill Climb venue and to no doubt share in the end of year celebrations. Derek Howard-Orchard and team take control for a 4th year and have garnered a stellar collection of sections in the surrounding Gloucestershire countryside, with an eclectic mix of new challenges and historic sites, expertly re-discovered from the Club’s original Cotswold Trial in 1930.
