PistonHeads Annual Service 2026 | Bicester Motion
Cultural Experiences
Our sell-out show is back for 2026!
We’re returning to Bicester Motion in Oxfordshire for our biggest PistonHeads Annual Service yet.
In 2025, more than 7,000 of you joined us to celebrate all things PistonHeads - and on Saturday 8 August 2026, we’re back. Tickets are on sale now.
Expect hundreds of jaw-dropping display cars, a live stage with interviews throughout the day, top names from the industry exhibiting with us, show awards and plenty more. Check out our dedicated event page for the full rundown.
Hosted at the historic former WW2 RAF bomber station, now a UK hub for motoring excellence, we’re one of only a handful of events to use the whole Bicester Motion site. Explore the lawns of the Technical Site where you’ll find classics, modern classics, future icons, supercars and modified machines, all set against a backdrop of rich automotive history.
In the paddock, you’ll find the live stage alongside a line-up of rare and exotic cars, before stepping into the hangar to explore our Readers’ Cars display and meet our exhibitors. Previous years have featured more than 50 exhibitors including Abarth, Alpine, Meguiar’s, Bilstein, Charles & Dean, Hyundai, Brembo, Caterham, Lotus and GSF Car Parts - and that’s just the start.
Bicester Motion is both family (and dog) friendly, with indoor and outdoor spaces to enjoy. Tickets are strictly limited, so book early to avoid disappointment.
