Do I need to book in advance?

Yes, tickets for the 28th April will only be available online in advance only. Tickets will not be available on the gate on the 28th April. We highly recommend that you book in advance as the April Scramble is historically our most popular open day event and is likely to sell out.

Children under 16 are free and do not require a ticket (when accompanied by an adult ticket holder).

Children under 16 are free (when accompanied by an adult ticket holder).

No, all parking is free for ticket holders.

Do I need to buy a ticket for every person in my vehicle?

Yes, we need all adults to have an individual ticket. Hagerty Valuation Arena tickets need to be bought in addition to the Sunday Scramble entry ticket.

Why have the ticket prices increased for 2019?

We have held the tickets at the same price for two years, endeavouring to keep the cost down for our valued Scramblers. Now, however, with an increase in the attendance, size of the event and infrastructure, the cost of running the Scramble has increased. A minor increase in the ticket price ensures that we can continue to deliver this ever popular event to the same high standard whilst protecting its future and trademark informal atmosphere.

How does the Hagerty Valuation Arena work?

There are a limited number of spaces available so you need to pre-book a timed slot via our website. The tickets are £15 each with all monies raised going to charity. At your allotted time you will need to take your vehicle to the Hagerty Valuation Arena where a team of experts will inspect the vehicle, take photographs of the vehicle and give you a printed valuation within 15 minutes.

Which entrances do vehicles use?

Vehicles will be directed by yellow signs to the events gate on the Buckingham Road and the airfield gate on Skimmingdish Lane.  Please follow event signage.

May I fly in?

Unfortunately for the April Scramble we will be unable to accept visiting aircraft – we continue to review this and hope the airfield will be open for guests to fly-in for the October Scramble.

Which entrance do pedestrians use?

Pedestrians must use the main Bicester Heritage entrance on the Buckingham Road, near the roundabout with Skimmingdish Lane.

What can I expect to see at the event?

The Sunday Scramble is mainly an excuse for hundreds of classic vehicle enthusiasts to come together and enjoy a relaxed social gathering.  As well as enjoying the visiting classic cars, motorbikes and other vehicles, you can also glimpse inside the various specialist businesses now on site at Bicester Heritage, who will be opening their doors throughout. The airfield will also be active, weather dependent, during the event so you can expect to see the Bicester Gliding Centre in operation.

What catering will be available?

There will be plenty of catering outlets on site, serving hot and cold drinks and a varied menu for breakfast and lunch, typically including bacon rolls, hog roast, burgers, toasted sandwiches, as well as ice cream.

Are dogs allowed on site?

Yes, well behaved dogs are allowed on site but must be kept on their leads at all times. Please remember that vehicles will be moving around and the airfield is active. Please clean up after your dog, bins for dog mess are provided across the site.

Is there any readmission?

No, sorry, there is no readmission if you leave the site during the event.
