WrapFest Bicester

WrapFest is a premier trade show dedicated to vehicle wrapping, surface protection, and visual vehicle design. Launched in 2023 by FESPA Global Events, it offers a unique platform tailored specifically to industry professionals, blending a highly specialised business environment with the energy and creativity of a festival. At its core, WrapFest focuses on both the creative and functional aspects of vehicle enhancement.

Each year, the historic grounds of Bicester Heritage in Bicester, Oxfordshire (UK), are transformed into a vibrant meeting point for the global wrapping community. As an annual event, WrapFest positions itself as a driving force for innovation, knowledge exchange, and professional development in a fast-evolving industry. The show is organised by FESPA Global Events, a globally recognised organiser of trade fairs and conferences for the print and visual communications sector.

The event focuses on key sectors such as vehicle wrapping, paint protection film (PPF), window tinting, decorative graphics and interior films, as well as vehicle detailing. Exhibitors present new types of films, application technologies, tools, and cleaning and maintenance products. The exhibition is complemented by professional training and consulting services.

A central feature of WrapFest is the Pit Demos – live demonstrations that allow attendees to experience techniques, materials, and tools in action. In addition, expert talks and the “Wrap Talks” sessions offer deeper insights into current trends, business models, and technological developments.

Another highlight is the design competition, where selected vehicle wrappers showcase their skills in real time. Live judging and the official awards ceremony draw significant attention across the international industry.

Exhibitors represent a range of sectors including automotive, film technology, design, advertising, surface finishing and tool manufacturing. The primary audience consists of professional wrappers, detailers, workshop operators, vehicle customisers, graphic designers and decision-makers from the automotive and tuning industries. WrapFest is clearly positioned as a highly specialised business event – focused on hands-on practice, networking, and industry advancement.

The venue, Bicester Heritage, offers more than just functional infrastructure. Once a historic airfield, it has become a dynamic hub of British automotive culture. The site combines an authentic atmosphere with modern facilities and is easily accessible – by car via the M40 motorway or by train from London and Birmingham via Bicester North station.

WrapFest is not a conventional trade show – it is a vibrant meeting place for professionals, creatives, and technicians shaping the future of vehicle wrapping.

The WrapFest will take place on 2 days from Friday, 26. June to Saturday, 27. June 2026 in Bicester.
