Mark your calendars: The PistonHeads Annual Service powered by Michelin is returning to Bicester Motion in Oxfordshire on Saturday, 8 August 2026. Get ready for what’s shaping up to be our most thrilling and jam-packed year yet. We’re kicking things off early with Michelin returning as our headline sponsor - and every ticket purchased before 31 March automatically enters you into our golden ticket prize draw, for the chance to win a fresh set of Michelin tyres.

If you’ve already purchased your tickets, we have good news - you’ll automatically be entered into the competition. You're welcom. To find out more and for the full Ts and Cs, take a look at the end of this article.

Last year was a spectacle (check out the video above), and this year we’ve taken it up a gear: more exhibitors, a larger crowd of enthusiasts, and an expanded showcase of display cars. Our themed lawns return in full force, celebrating the full spectrum of automotive excellence: Classic, Modern Classic, Future Classic, Modified, Supercars, Exotics & Rarities, and Readers’ Cars. If you fancy joining in, you’ll be pleased to know that our display car entry applications are now open.

The live stage will be buzzing with interviews and entertainment (acts to be announced in due course), while a host of exhibitors showcase the best in cars, products, services, and tech. Sporting Bears return with their dream rides, giving visitors a chance to experience an unforgettable passenger ride while supporting a brilliant cause. And this year, we’ll be joined by more car clubs than ever, bringing rare, collectable, and limited-edition cars for you to admire.

All this takes place at the historic former WW2 RAF bomber station - a stunning backdrop for a full day of motoring excitement. We’re incredibly lucky to have access to the full site and will be joined by the amazing businesses that call Bicester Motion home.

Wander the lawns, explore the hangar displays, soak up the atmosphere, or just sit back and watch the spectacle unfold. From jaw-dropping metal to family-friendly fun, the 2026 Annual Service promises an experience you won’t forget.

Adult and child tickets are £22.50 and £5.00 each, respectively (plus booking fee), with under 5s going free. Tickets are limited and must be bought in advance, so don’t hang about!
