There will also be a variety of stalls selling scooter memorabilia, including crafts, clothing, shoes, scooter parts and art. Official rally t-shirts and patches will be also be available.

Burnley and Pendle Scooter Club was founded in 1974, with early members first meeting at the Baltic Fleet pub. Over the decades, it grew into a prominent northern club known for national awards, charity fundraising, and its annual rally. The club’s iconic shield and patch design drew inspiration from the local history of the Pendle Witches of 1612.

Gary Scully, who is one of the event organisers, said: “What a weekend this is going to be. Last year’s was big but 2026 is at least twice the size.

“Please come along and support us as we have so much on for everyone and it’s raising money for great causes.”

All profits from the weekend will be donated to Pendleside Hospice, Casual Minds Matter and Cancer Research and organisers are hoping to smash last year’s total which was £4,000.
