About Moto-Union 2025
Event overview for 2025
Moto-Union’s 2025 celebration event is our next show for motorcycle enthusiasts who share a common love for Japanese and Italian motorcycles or enjoy the thrill of off-road motorcycling. We’ll be back at the South of England showground in Ardingly, right in the heart of the South East.
This is a great chance for enthusiasts to meet up, share knowledge and experiences, and celebrate all things on two wheels. This year, we’re making the event even bigger by adding a trade village for retailers and local businesses, encouraging more owners clubs to join in, and introducing our new ‘Off-Road Zone.
