Golf buggy hire in Bedford

Golf buggy hire in Bedford covers the county town on the Great Ouse. The embankment and riverside gardens run for a considerable distance through the centre, and the river festival held every two years is among the largest of its kind in the country.

Golf buggy hire around Bedford

Bedford is the county town, built along a long reach of the Great Ouse with Victorian embankment gardens, a suspension bridge and a marina at Priory. The river through the town is used for rowing and boating, the parks run along both banks, and the Bedford River Festival, held every two years, draws very large crowds to a site strung along the water.

A festival laid out along a river is a linear event, and that shape decides the logistics. Stages, traders, arenas and parking are spread over a long frontage with a small number of vehicle access points, and stewards, first aid, production and traders all cover that length repeatedly. Rowing and boating events on the same water need officials and safety crews along the bank.

The embankment and park paths are made, level and continuous, which is close to ideal ground, and the parks either side are mown grass following the season. The river bank itself is soft. Public park use runs through the council and the event licence. Bedford is a run north from our depot.

Delivery to Bedford

We deliver to Bedford from our Bracknell depot, about 80 miles by road. Delivery is priced on that distance and shown as its own line on your quote, separate from the hire, so you can see exactly what each part costs.

We bring the buggies on a trailer, set them up at the venue, show your team how they work, and collect them at the end of the hire. Nobody needs to tow anything or collect anything themselves.

Which buggies suit Bedford venues

• 

  4 seater

  A 4 seater golf buggy carries a driver and three passengers, usually in two rows. It is a popular choice for weddings, small group transport and general venue use.

• 

  6 seater

  A 6 seater golf buggy carries a driver and five passengers. It is the usual choice once you are moving groups rather than individuals, and it is the smallest size that works properly as a shuttle.

• 

  8 seater

  An 8 seater golf buggy, sometimes called a people mover, carries a driver and seven passengers. It is the largest option we hire and is built for moving guests in numbers on a set route, rather than for general runabout use.

Questions about hire in Bedford

What makes a riverside festival different from a field one

It is a line rather than a circle, so nothing is central. Crew and medical teams may need to reach a point half a mile away past standing crowds, and a vehicle that can move along a made embankment path is the only practical way to do it quickly.

Do you supply for events held every couple of years

Yes, and hire is obviously the right model for them. Vehicles arrive for build, work through the event and go back after breakdown, with nothing to store, maintain or insure for the two years in between.

How far is Bedford from your depot

A run north from our Bracknell depot, and the quote carries that measured road distance as its own line rather than folding it into the rate.

Do you cover Kempston, Sandy and Ampthill as well

Yes. They are within a short drive of Bedford and are covered in the same delivery run.
