Kingsbury Racing, based at the historic Bicester Motion site in Oxfordshire since 2015, now occupies the entirety of Building 99, the Grade II-listed Engine Fitting Shop.

The expansion will allow the company to broaden its services into post-war and post-classic competition cars, in addition to its renowned work on vintage Bentleys.

Lewis Fox, operations director, said: “The extra room allows us to continue specialising in vintage competition Bentleys and other pre-war cars, while expanding into post-war and post-classic race cars.

“This, coupled with my previous experience at the cutting edge of the racing world, allows us to come in line with the collections of some of our clients, whose own rosters span many decades of desirable cars.”

Kingsbury Racing plans to relocate its machine shop to a larger area within the expanded facility and has taken on two new staff members to support the growth.

Its existing workshop will remain focused on Bentley’s Continuation cars, in addition to restoration and maintenance work for private clients.

Dan Geoghegan, CEO of Bicester Motion, said: “Ewen and his team are a true success story not just of this site but of historic motoring; they have simply gone from strength to strength over the past decade.”

The eatery, which is currently open seven days a week from 6am to 11pm, applied to stay open for 24 hours back in February.

The application, submitted to West Oxfordshire District Council, was approved by councillors yesterday with the provisions that is would only be for Drive-Thru and delivery applications.

This means the inside seated restaurant of the business will open and close with its usual hours.

Councillor David Edwards-Hughes confirmed the news, acknowledging the significant local interest the application has received.

The Witney Town Councillor stated that the licensing panel retain the power to review the licence should any issues arise once these hours take effect.

He also encouraged residents to log any noise of disruption with WODC licensing.

Some residents welcomed the application however some said it encouraged people to eat more fast food.

Others also said that they would like to see improved litter picking in the area as various side roads are full of wrapping.

One woman said: “The hedgerows in the alley leading down to the Leys is full of discarded McDonald’s debris.”

In 2024 the branch reopened following a major refurbishment, which included a complete restaurant redesign.

Improvements included a front counter redesign making more space for customers to enjoy their meals, less congestion around touchscreens, and shorter queues.

Northwestern University in Qatar’s Media Majlis Museum and ACMI will present All That Is Unseen in Doha, the first major exhibition in Qatar and the wider region by London artist collective Marshmallow Laser Feast.

The exhibition will run at the Media Majlis Museum on Northwestern’s campus in Education City and will be free to attend. It premiered at ACMI in Melbourne and later travelled to the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa before making its Middle East debut in Doha.

All That Is Unseen explores biological and cosmic systems beyond ordinary human perception. Through large-scale video works, guided meditation and interactive elements, the exhibition moves from the formation of a single cell to the birth of galaxies.

Marshmallow Laser Feast is known for immersive installations, film, performance and extended reality projects. Its work explores the relationship between human perception and the natural world, often through collaborations with scientists, ecologists and other researchers.

The Doha presentation has been reworked for the Media Majlis Museum, with the audience journey and context adapted for the venue. The exhibition draws on collaborations with artists, filmmakers, musicians and scientists including Terrence Malick, Edward R. Pressman, Cate Blanchett, Daisy Lafarge, Jon Hopkins, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Meredith Monk, Howard Skempton and Jonny Greenwood.

Seb Chan, Director and Chief Executive Officer of ACMI, reflected on the show’s reception in Australia and New Zealand.

“ACMI is excited to have our survey exhibition of Marshmallow Laser Feast come to Qatar with Media Majlis Museum and Northwestern Qatar. This exhibition has had a transformational impact in Melbourne and most recently in New Zealand, and we hope the exhibition excites Qatari audiences in similar ways,” Chan said.

Regional debut

The exhibition marks another international partnership for the Media Majlis Museum, which focuses on journalism, communication, media and art. The museum describes itself as the first university museum in the Arab world dedicated to those fields and has used exhibitions to examine questions of language, identity, technology and news.

For Northwestern University in Qatar, the project fits into a broader effort to frame media as part of cultural memory and public debate, rather than simply as communication tools. That approach has shaped the museum’s programme since its launch, combining academic and public-facing work.

Marwan M. Kraidy, Dean and Chief Executive Officer of Northwestern Qatar, linked the exhibition to that institutional focus.

“At Northwestern Qatar, we believe that media are not merely technologies of communication, but powerful archives of memory, identity, and human experience,” Kraidy said.

“This collaboration between the Media Majlis Museum and ACMI brings together stories, histories, and perspectives across continents, inviting audiences in Doha to reflect on how media shape the ways we see ourselves and one another. It is a testament to the power of cultural exchange and to our shared commitment to fostering dialogue through evidence-based storytelling,” he added.

Artist perspective

The collective said the works were developed through research ranging from the Amazon rainforest to outer space. Those references reflect a practice that often translates scientific and environmental data into sensory experiences for museum audiences.

“We are thrilled to present All That Is Unseen at the Media Majlis Museum. This exhibition is a celebration of life, and explores our continued fascination with what sits just beyond the reach of our senses. Created through collaborations with scientists, researchers, and technologists, these artworks draw on everything from scanning trees in the Amazon and listening in on black holes to mapping the human body in microscopic detail. Together, they invite audiences to experience the invisible systems that connect us to one another, to the natural world, and to the wider universe. In bringing this work to Qatar for its first presentation in the region, we hope audiences feel these connections too,” Ersin said.

The partnership also extends ACMI’s touring work beyond its home market. As Australia’s national museum of screen culture, ACMI has increasingly developed exhibitions that combine film, digital art and interactive design, placing it within a wider group of museums using screen-based works to attract new audiences.

In Doha, the arrival of All That Is Unseen adds another international exhibition to a cultural landscape that continues to expand through museum openings, imported shows and cross-border collaborations. Its focus on immersive media and scientific storytelling also reflects growing institutional interest in exhibitions that sit between art, technology and education.

The exhibition will remain open until January 21, with public access from Sunday to Thursday between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m.
