Managed by the Bicester Aerodrome Company, the airfield is approx. 350 acres and offers well-drained flat grass, perfect for parking or for holding large site-wide events. The airfield can be used for fly-in events, music festivals, drive-in Cinemas or for any event which requires good access and lots of open space. Encircled by ‘The Peri Track’ it is one of the few airfields to survive intact from the 1930s.
Case Study
OxPropFest
Having trialled central Oxford as a location for OxPropFest, a day celebrating the burgeoning Oxfordshire property sector, the festival organisers decided to trial Bicester Motion as an events space in 2020. The 444-acre site, located on the outskirts of Bicester, offers close proximity to Oxford and flexible event location hire options, with multiple entrances and an experienced events team on hand.
The OxProP team made use of Hangar 113, providing some 45,000 ft2 of indoor space for their event. The team created a marquee space used for talks and exchange prior to the awards dinner, a central space for networking surrounded by exhibitor stands and dressed the Hangar with a range of vintage and classic cars provided on loan by some of Bicester Heritage’s 45 specialist businesses, an established part of the Bicester Motion site.
Bicester Motion’s team was on hand for talks and exchange during tours of the award-winning Bicester Heritage quarter, showcasing the curated site.
“Being located inside a marquee, surrounded by a Hanger, in the middle of an Oxfordshire field has really worked wonders for our event! Representing the Oxfordshire and Arc property community, we are really pleased to be returning to the unique venue of Bicester Motion with OxPropFest. Celebrating all aspects of the growing development market, the venue provides helps us to provide a snapshot on the new trends happening in the world of property. I hope that we can continue to grow the event in future years and become part of the magic which is Bicester Motion.” Concludes Matthew Battle, Managing Director, UK Property Forums.
