Land Rover Experience East of England - Market Harborough

Andy Meears

Had a fantastic half day experience in a defender 110. Our instructor Mitch was brilliant giving clear instructions and explaining how the car works in great detail. Mitch was also very encouraging when we needed to be pushed tackling challenging parts of the course.
I would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to learn or just experience what land rovers can do off road.
The only negative is the range of vehicles on offer to drive. Not everyone wants to drive a computer around a course - having a couple of the original defenders would have made our experience complete (I guess owning an original defender may make my opinion loaded).

A fantastic half day out. Course was challenging and you are amazed as to what the vehicles can do. The instructors are fantastic, talking you through the various manouvres and giving you enough confidence to put the vehicle through its paces. Learnt so much more about my own vehicle as well. Overall, I would recommend the experience for anyone, young and old ! They also offer full day experiences and also 1 hour taster sessions.

I booked a Full day experience for myself and my dad for a birthday present, We were greeted at the door by the instructors all of them friendly and eager to get all the people out of the course. Our instructor for the day was Andrew. He was confident, funny and very knowledgeable on the features of my own range rover and when we were out on the course he was great, explaining everything , complimentary and pushing myself and my dad to new levels of control on the various mounds, the wall of death and the peanut!
We had a cracking day, full of laughter, banter and learning how to use the features on the Defender 110 which was just awesome.
We went to a local pub for lunch which is apart of the full day experience, food was home made quick and very good.
I would say that half a day would leave you with wanting to do more so would advise if you have a complimentary half day from Land Rover book another half day so you get to enjoy all of the features and learn what the vehicle is capable of and have time to go through the water and experience some of the other tracks like we did.
Very well organised and would recommend to anybody even if they just wanted to learn the features on their own vehicle. Well Done!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐?

Thank you to Mitch, we had the best morning experience with the full sized Range Rover. Mitch was great in getting my girlfriend confident in driving off road. Showing the potential of the car. He was great answering all questions and having fun at the same time. He told us about some history of the grounds of where we were driving the Range Rover, showed us so many features on the car we had no idea that they had! We had a great morning and want to return already! Thanks once again to Mitch!

Fantastic day spent with the team at Land Rover Experience East of England - an incredibly professional, friendly and knowledgeable group of instructors who genuinely want to have fun with the cars and show what they are capable of!

I couldn’t recommend the day highly enough - but beware of the ‘chickens’ and ‘crocodiles’ dotted around the park!

My partner and I recently participated in the Land Rover Experience at Rockingham Castle, and we had an absolute blast! Although I was hoping to drive the Defender 90, they didn’t have it available, so I ended up in the Defender 110, which proved to be a great fit for the day’s challenges.

One of the more exciting aspects for me was learning to use the 360-view camera—a feature I hadn’t experienced before. It added a new layer to off-roading, especially when navigating tight or tricky obstacles. It took some practice balancing between using the camera and keeping an eye on the road, but once I got the hang of it, it made navigating the terrain even more rewarding.

We tackled a wide range of terrains—everything from steep inclines, water crossings, and rock crawls. But the real thrill came with the axle twisters and side slopes. During the axle twist, the Defender tilted so much that I was convinced we were going to topple over, but the vehicle’s stability was impressive. The side slopes were equally exhilarating, with gravity tugging at one side while we carefully maneuvered through the course.

My partner, who was initially a bit reluctant to try the off-roading experience, gave it a go—and was so glad she did! By the end, she had just as much fun tackling the challenges as I did.

Our instructor, Mitch, was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. His instructions were clear and easy to follow, which made the experience both fun and educational.

From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. The combination of challenging terrains, new technology, and the guidance from Mitch made this day one to remember. Whether you're a first-time driver or a seasoned off-roader, the Land Rover Experience offers something for everyone.

It was a very nice experience, was really fun to drive such a smart giant of technology. Adrenaline will be enough for a long time. Many thanks to the instructor Rob who is such an artist and very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this experience
