Bicester Motion's Scramble returns 10 January 2027 for off-roaders

A date for the diary: 10 January 2027

Bicester Motion has set Sunday 10 January 2027 as the date for its next Scramble, the quarterly car meet held at its 127 acre former RAF technical site in Oxfordshire. The venue's own event page says the Orchard Lawn display at this edition will honour the three-door off-roader, with new and vintage Land Rovers, the original Discovery, Range Rovers and Japanese off-roaders making up the themed line-up.

For Indian readers that is not a purely foreign story. Land Rover and Range Rover have been built and sold by Jaguar Land Rover, owned by Tata Motors since 2008, and the Range Rover and Defender both have Indian waiting lists today. A UK meet built around the breed's early three-door models is effectively a show reel of where those badges came from.

Scramble itself is one of the bigger recurring fixtures on the UK Cars and Coffee calendar, run alongside Caffeine & Machine's weekend sessions as one of the events this desk watches from India for what a grassroots meet can grow into. Past editions have mixed hundreds of member cars parked along the site's old runway aprons with trade stands, workshop open days and a stage programme. The January 2027 edition keeps that format: Bicester Motion's page lists displays across the Technical Site, the flying field, Goodwin's Green and the Pillbox area, plus participation from online auction house Bring a Trailer and the usual food stalls and family activities.

How tickets and entry work

Tickets are sold through Universe, the platform linked from Bicester Motion's own Scramble page, and are not available at the gate. A listing for the January 2027 date notes that tickets are sold per person rather than per car, and that £1 from every ticket goes to Starter Motor, a charity that helps young people into motoring careers. Dogs on leads are allowed.

Demand for the January slot has been strong before. Bicester Motion's own update on the January 2026 Scramble, themed around Tom Walkinshaw Racing and Group B rallying, said more than half the tickets sold within the first 24 hours of going on sale, with a general admission price of £24.17 before fees. There is no reason to expect the three-door off-roader edition to move slower, so anyone planning to be in the UK in January should not leave booking until the week before.

Following it from India

Attending in person needs a UK trip to time with the date, but the club side of the event is easy to track from India. Bicester Motion runs its Scramblers community free to join, with a paid Pegasus tier at £69 that includes priority ticket access and four Scramble passes a year, open to anyone who signs up on the Scramblers site regardless of where they live. The club's own social channels post car line-ups and photos after each Scramble, and UK motoring YouTubers who regularly film Cars and Coffee culture are worth following for clips once the gates open. Entry to park a vehicle in the display itself works through a separate application on Bicester Motion's site and is open to Scramblers members with eligible cars.
