Golf buggy hire in Bishop's Cleeve

Golf buggy hire in Bishop's Cleeve covers the country under Cleeve Hill north of Cheltenham. Cheltenham Racecourse at Prestbury Park is a few miles south, where the March festival puts stables, enclosures, hospitality and car parks across a very large site.

Golf buggy hire around Bishop's Cleeve

Bishop's Cleeve lies north of Cheltenham beneath Cleeve Hill, at 330 metres the highest point of the Cotswolds, with a Norman church and a village grown large in recent decades. A few miles south, Cheltenham Racecourse occupies the natural amphitheatre of Prestbury Park below the same escarpment, staging the jump racing festival over four days each March along with a full season of meetings.

A festival meeting is a temporary town rather than a sporting fixture. Stables, the parade ring, several enclosures, hospitality villages, trade stands, shuttle car parks and the helicopter field are spread across ground where nothing is close to anything else, and officials, groundstaff, medical teams, hospitality staff and stable staff cross it continuously through four very long days. Build and clear-down add weeks either side.

Enclosure roads and hardstanding give dependable going; the parkland and car park fields follow the season, and March in Gloucestershire is rarely dry. The escarpment above is common land and steep, and the racing surface itself is prepared ground, off limits except by the clerk of the course's agreement. Cleeve Common takes its own events on the top.

Delivery to Bishop's Cleeve

We deliver to Bishop's Cleeve from our Bracknell depot, about 90 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 Bishop's Cleeve 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 Bishop's Cleeve

Do racecourses hire extra vehicles for festival meetings

Regularly, because a festival meeting is several times the ordinary operation. Staff numbers, the hospitality footprint and the temporary structures all multiply, and the vehicles that cover a normal race day are nowhere near enough for four days in March.

Can a buggy be driven on the racing surface

Not during racing, and otherwise only with the clerk of the course's specific agreement. Racing turf is prepared ground and damage to it is a horse and rider safety matter, so routes stay on the roads and hardstanding.

How far is Bishop's Cleeve from your depot

A run west and north from our Bracknell depot along the M4 and M5, and the quote carries that measured road distance as its own line.

Do you cover Cheltenham, Winchcombe and Woodmancote as well

Yes. They surround Bishop's Cleeve below the escarpment and are covered in the same delivery run.
