RAF Bicester’s Building 101 has been revived by Bicester Motion, but with a difference: where was once the Spotlight Trainer, or turret trainer, now resides the new on-site bar.
Named Bar 101 to recall the former building, it will be open every Friday and Saturday to both resident specialists and the general public, offering a picturesque place to relax with a drink this summer. Though an outdoor bar, a large covered seating area extends out front.
Sky Wave Gin, the multi-award-winning distillery based at Bicester Heritage, will operate the bar from 4pm until 11pm on Fridays and 6pm to 11pm on Saturdays.
Entry to the site is via Gate 1 on Buckingham Road, and Bar 101 is at the top of the Main Drive by Sky Wave Gin. Parking is also available in the Blenheim Car Park.
