January Scramble at Bicester Heritage

Published: 04/12/2020

January sees the return of the Scramble open day to Bicester Heritage, the Home of Historic Motoring.

We’re delighted to announce the return of our Scramble open day event to Bicester Heritage on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th January 2021!

Join us as we celebrate the start of a new year and throw open the gates to our Home of Historic Motoring. Explore the latest additions to our beautiful former RAF Bomber Station and visit the 45 industry-leading specialist businesses based in our restored historic buildings. This truly is an open day event, unlike any other.

This Scramble’s format harks back to the early days of Bicester Heritage, with a smaller COVID-compliant attendance of just 2000 visitors, with a curated display of historic cars along the tree-lined avenues of our 1920s ‘Technical Site’. Laid back, eclectic and with an ever-changing automotive display, our time-warp base has an unrivalled atmosphere.

Family and dog friendly, the Scramble is a wonderful way to while away the hours on a Sunday morning in the company of some spectacular machines at the best-preserved WW2 RAF Bomber Station in the country.

We have updated the pass (ticket) booking system for 2021. Passes are per person and are set at one price for all. Children under 16 yrs are free.

Well behaved dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead at all times.
