The Witness Service can help you arrange to visit a court building before the trial starts, to find out what it’s like and what to expect on the day of the trial. This is called a pre-trial visit and can help you feel more confident on the day, so you can give your best evidence.

The pre-trial visit should take place at the court you’re due to attend. (If the court changes, we can offer you another pre-trial visit – or a virtual pre-trial visit – of the new court.)

You can request a pre-trial visit of the courtroom or a virtual pre-trial visit through your Witness Service supporter.
