World motorcycle championship returning to Northamptonshire after attracting 6,000 fans a day
One of the biggest events in motorcycle trials is returning to Northamptonshire after attracting more than 6,000 spectators a day during its last visit.
The FIM Trial World Championship will return to the county for the 2027 TrialGP of Great Britain, bringing some of the world's best trials riders to the Boughton Estate.
The three-day event will run from Friday, August 27 to Sunday, August 29, 2027, with UK-based CL Events confirmed as organiser.
The company previously staged the TrialGP of Great Britain at Boughton, near Kettering, in 2025, when organisers say more than 6,000 people attended each day.
The championship will now return to the same venue, with riders tackling the varied natural terrain of the Northamptonshire countryside.
TrialGP is the FIM Trial World Championship and features riders competing across TrialGP, Trial2 and Trial3 categories, alongside supporting classes.
The Northamptonshire event will also be staged as a three-day motorsport festival, with live music, a licensed bar, children's entertainment, trade village and on-site camping.
CL Events director Danny Cockshott said: “Bringing TrialGP of Great Britain back to Boughton Estate in 2027 is something we are enormously proud of.
“When we hosted the event for the first time in 2025 we knew straight away that this venue and this event were made for each other.
“The feedback from riders, fans and the wider trials community was outstanding, and we are determined to build on that and deliver something even bigger and better in 2027.”
CL Events, founded and directed by Danny and Jack Lee, also staged the final rounds of the ACU TrialGB British Championship at Boughton Estate in September 2026.
That event attracted a maximum entry of 93 riders, with Harry Hemingway securing the British title by a single mark.
Weekend and day tickets for the 2027 TrialGP of Great Britain are now on sale.
