Pennine Guzzisti Rally - 30th Anniversary

Get ready, Guzzisti! 2026 marks a special milestone for the Pennine Guzzisti Branch, as they celebrate their 30th Anniversary with the Pennine Guzzisti Rally. From June 11th to 14th, 2026, the picturesque town of Skipton, nestled in the heart of North Yorkshire, United Kingdom, will become the gathering point for Moto Guzzi enthusiasts from far and wide. This event is not just a rally; it's a true celebration of three decades of passion, friendship, and the unmistakable roar of the Mandello Eagle's engines. What awaits you? An unforgettable weekend, filled with camaraderie, live music, and that unique spirit that only a Moto Guzzi rally can offer.

The Experience
The Pennine Guzzisti Rally is more than just an event; it's a full immersion into Guzzi culture, enhanced by genuine Yorkshire hospitality. Held at the Skipton RFC, Sandylands Sports Centre, attendees will find a welcoming environment with a clubhouse featuring a well-stocked late bar and two cask ales on tap, perfect for unwinding after a day in the saddle. Live music will set the mood in the evenings, while a dedicated "quiet room" will be available for those who prefer a more relaxed chat. Facilities include 24-hour showers and toilets, ensuring comfort for all campers. But the culinary highlight will undoubtedly be the Pennine Branch's "World famous Full Monty Breakfast," available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday – a perfect way to fuel up for your Guzzi adventures. The atmosphere will be typical of Moto Guzzi rallies: camaraderie, shared travel stories, and the opportunity to admire a wide range of models, from cherished classics to the latest innovations. The 30th Anniversary is a moment to reflect on the club's history and look forward to the future, always with the Eagle in our hearts.
