Hi - depending on what you consider "driving distance" there is Ringwood tri in early April (http://www.resultstriathlon.co.uk/events/ringwood-triathlon/). I did this two years ago as I needed to fit in an early Olympic distance as part of IM training. Pool swim, but then anything you find that early in the year is going to be. I drove to Ringwood the day of the event, and it is do-able for the registration and start - it just means an early alarm call, but plenty of driving time to get some food into you.
I'm doing a similar search right now as I again need to find an Olympic for late April, and a half Ironman for late May. Either hit google and spend some time filtering, or go and buy a triathlon magazine (take your pick) as they tend to have full listings for 2013 in the back around this time of year.
Is the timescale pressure because you need it as a stepping stone to another event? Otherwise, I'd wait until May bank holiday weekend and do the Big East or Tonbridge Lions tris?
