If your evidence is deemed to be crucial and not agreed between the defence and prosecution, you must go.
If you choose not to, the court may issue a witness summons with a request to attend, if you ignore this, the court CAN issue a witness warrant - this means that the police can attend and compel you to go to court. This is done as a last resort because you would then be deemed a "hostile witness" and thought to be under duress, therefore your evidence may not be given the same weight as if you attend voluntarily.
So - yes, you can be forced to attend the court if it is deemed it necessary
