Last call for Annual Service tickets

Just a few hundred remain - here's what to look forward to this Saturday


We’re just days away from the PistonHeads Annual Service powered by Michelin on 10 August at Bicester Heritage. It’ll be our biggest event to date and only a few hundred tickets remain – here’s what you have to look forward to.

Bigger and better than last year and back at the historic WW2 RAF bomber station in Oxfordshire, we’ll be celebrating all things PistonHeads in the most quintessential way. We’ll have more than 200 cars across our display lawns in the technical site that represent our most popular subcultures: British, American, Asian and European cars, supercars and motorsport. In the paddock, there’ll be even more display cars and our live stage with guest speakers including The Late Brake Show, The Intercooler, Joe Achilles and Driver61 (see the full lineup here). Heading into the hangar, you’ll find our Readers’ Cars display and 20+ exhibitors, including Caterham Cars, Meguiars, BBR GTI, Analogue Automotive, MST Cars and Milltek Sport. Check out the Questions section here for the full list to help with planning your day.

In the remainder of the technical site, you’ll find more displays from Girardo & Co., Charles & Dean, RML Group, Sports Purpose, The Little Car Co, Alpine, BYD, Clive Sutton and Dick Lovett – there’s so much to see and watch, the day will be over before you know it!

If you can't wait till Saturday, you can download the event map here and the show guide here - but these will be handed out for free at the entrance to the paddock so make sure you grab one on your way in or pick one up from the PH stand where you’ll also be able to buy a range or merchandise and talk to us about buying and selling cars on PistonHeads.

Display car applications are now closed for this year, but we have plenty of parking for all ticket holders, including dedicated performance parking as shown on the event map. This is available from 09:00 on a first come first served basis and can be accessed from either the south or west gates. And let's face it, the general car park will be just as good as our curated display lawns - this is PistonHeads after all.

If you haven’t got your tickets yet, these are only available in advance and they’re on track to sell out this week – adult tickets are £20.00 per person (plus booking fee) with under 16s going free. So grab yours today and we'll see you there!

What's the capacity of the site? I don't want to be a negative nancy but 'a few hundred' tickets remaining sounds like quite a lot...

Must admit the event looks great with some top guests, but the first I heard of this was only a couple of days ago. PH, you should have been pushing this harder for longer!

Capacity is 6000 I think.

I want this to be clear, I don't have an issue with booking tickets and the £20 seems reasonable, but just drop the booking fee.

This isn't just a moan at you, but the whole ticket industry is a wash with this utter nonsense! I'm already paying to come to your event, now you want a booking fee.

Utter baloney, PH. And, you know it too.

Thanks for the feedback although this is an Eventbrite fee (it's how they make their money) so it's not something we're charging or intentionally adding on. We will however look at alternative platforms for next year.

I shall be there, and very grateful that under 16’s are free. It means me, my 12 & 15 year olds get a day out for a little over £20. Genuinely grateful in a time where companies squeeze every penny out of the consumer, this feels like an absolute win. Thank you PistonHeads.

I'm coming, I bought some tickets ages ago and then kind of forgot about it.. No one wants to come with me so I'm a noddy no mates, it'll be a nice drive out in my old Porsche (unless it rains in which case I'll stay at home in case it dissolves..)
