General Advice
How are the rules enforced?
Individuals can be issued with fines of up to a maximum of £3,200 for repeat offences with more serious offences being prosecuted. The Police have powers to disperse groups of over thirty people and remove people from an area.
What about clinically vulnerable individuals?
Those who have been unidentified as at “high-risk” of contracting COVID-19 are now able to gather in groups of up to six people outdoors. This number includes individuals outside of the household. Those shielding can also form a "support bubble" with one other household.

Latest updates:
Sunday Scramble, Bicester Heritage planned for January - CANCELLED
Bicester Heritage has been actively monitoring Government policy regarding the control of COVID-19 and growth rate projections for the forthcoming weeks. Given the circumstances, we believe that it is prudent to cancel the first Scramble open day event of 2021, to be replaced with an event in April.
Bicester Heritage would like to take this opportunity to thank our Scramble Pass holders and Specialists for their continued support. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and look forward to welcoming you to our Centre of Excellence for Historic Motoring enterprise in 2021.
Le Mans Classic
Le Mans Classic is planned for 1st - 4th July 2021. If you have booked with our partner Travel Destinations they will automatically move any 2020 booking over to the new date. They will be contacting any members who have booked soon.
"Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, Peter Auto and the Automobile Club de l’Ouest have decided to postpone the tenth edition of Le Mans Classic to July 1-2-3-4, 2021. After having carefully studied different scenarios and possible dates, it was finally decided that postponing Le Mans Classic to 2021 was the best solution for this event in order to continue to bring together all lovers of the vintage car in optimal conditions."
