About Retro CarFest 2021 at Bicester Heritage

It’s official, CarFest is coming to Bicester Heritage.

Retro CarFest 2021 at Bicester Heritage, the new addition to the CarFest family, will take place from 13 to 15 August.

We’re going to take you back to simpler times – when cars were cooler, sweets were tastier, flares were wider, video games were harder and everyone wanted to ride a chopper.

With music from living music legends to some of the best tribute bands, plus a roller disco, a vinyl fair and all things collectable from toys and games to gadgets and gizmos, Retro CarFest will have it all.

We’re going to take you on a proper journey through time with cars that you grew up with, cars that you dreamt about owning and cars that became famous in their own right.

Who remembers Mr Ben and Play School? What were your favourite ads from back in the day? We’ll have screens showing some of the most memorable Retro shows, ads, pop videos and movies.

And then there’s fashion, from the mini skirt to flares and shoulders pads, we’re going to have a people’s catwalk. Dress up and our scouts are going to select the best dressed for our catwalk sessions – and if you haven’t brought anything with you, there’ll be loads of Retro fashion for you to pick up on-site.

The Retro Motor Show

Celebrate the golden era of motorsport from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s out on the fabulous track at Bicester Heritage, with parades and demos that pay tribute to motoring heroes and their cars. Plus, there will be a chance to get up close to some of those fabulous cars that were the stars in their own right.

Knight Rider, Starsky & Hutch and the Dukes of Hazzard made great TV that we all watched and loved the stars of these shows, and so many films were the cars themselves. Come and check out the displays that pay tribute to the cars that were the stars!

Do you remember your family’s first car? Morris Minors, Ford Capri’s, Datsun Cherry’s, and so many more… join in an emotional journey as cars are reunited with their original owners.

All Time Greats

Bring your popcorn, grab a seat in the Retro CarFest living room and reminisce in front of the big screen. From TV ads and Children’s TV, Classic movie moments or your fave pop videos, we’ll be taking your votes on what you think are the most memorable!

Top of the Pop-up Record Store

Travel back in time with great tunes from the past, and boogie on down to our record fair DJs. The live disco will host classic dance classes and a good ol’ rave-up. While you are there, browse the record racks and discover a gem or two from your favourite musical era to take home with you.

Fashionistas One and All

Fashion trends have clearly defined every decade… from Twiggy and the mini skirt, via bellbottoms, shoulder pads and the new romantic phase… celebrate the great and questionable fashion choices in the fashion arena!

Honouring the coolest trends and the craziest outfits of each decade, the festival’s crowds will be judged by scouts looking out for the best dressed in the finals featured on the Peoples Catwalk each day.

Wear something from the ’60s, ’70s, ’80s and ’90s or visit Mr Ben’s “special costume shop”. Plus, of course, shop to your heart’s content at the huge array of Retro fashion outlets.
