PH Annual Service 2024 - register your interest

You thought PH25 at Bicester Heritage was good? We're just getting started


Update: Tickets are now on sale, get yours here


What a year 2023 has been, celebrating 25 years of PistonHeads by crowning our favourite cars made since our inception, and throwing one hell of a party at Bicester Heritage. We were been blown away by the response, with nearly a million views across our PH25 content and 6,000+ people attending our first event at the UK's historic motoring hub. 

The obvious demand for a large annual event has been overwhelming, so here you have it: The PistonHeads Annual Service powered by Michelin. Returning on 10 August 2024, we’ll be back bigger and better with more display cars, more exhibitors and more content for you to enjoy throughout the day.

Tickets will be limited, so register your interest to be one of the first to get access to our early bird tickets and hear the latest information when we have it.

There really is no coming back once you've visited Bicester town centre. It'll make you wonder why people bother travelling abroad.

Is this going to be back at Bicester or is the intention to do a similar size event at a different location.

Either way, I'm in.

Damn - clashes with RRG23 at Mallory so I'll be working
Yes that's a shame, I didn't realise until after booking Bicester but unfortunately it was a struggle to find a date that didn't clash with some other motoring event. Would have loved to have your Carlton there too. We'll try and avoid it in future!
Well that worked well - clashes with Retro Rides gathering again!!!!

That's me out again!!!!

Unfortunately it was unavoidable, we did our best but there are other motoring events every weekend throughout August and this was the best compromise we could land on I'm afraid. Sorry that you won't be able to join us.

I'm gutted myself - it looked like a great event this year but unfortunately RR run the Quick 60 (Competitive event) on the Saturday at Mallory Park (Retro Rides Gathering) and I'm Clerk of the Course for that so I've no chance of getting a pass out - Also the Carlton is going to be off the road for a while in 2025 as I've finally decided that I can't put up with it's scruffy "well used" appearance anymore and it needs a strip down and respray so I'll have just one more summer using it properly.

I had been meaning to ask Ben or someone in the team about this directly, but I guess the cat's out of the bag now biggrin

Me curiously looking back at the PH25 page saw it had been renamed to the Annual Service and knew something was cooking about a month ago

Edit / extra:
I haven't checked the PH25 thread since a day or so after the event, but there was quite a bit of negative impressions of the event but being from up north it was a nice weekend trip down and definitely thought about doing it again if another event pops up, PH or not. So maybe see you guys again next year! I did miss the awards ceremony taking place, was just inside of the hangar and had no idea it was happening at that time, and literally came out as everyone was saying goodbye and thanks for coming lol

All the spaces for Mini Cooper S have already been taken. Plenty of spaces for Focus estates though.
