Golf buggy hire around Chard

Chard stands high on a ridge in south Somerset near the Devon border, the highest town in the county, a place that claims the first powered flight after John Stringfellow flew a model here. The land falls away on both sides of the long high street to wooded valleys and lakes, so the estate settings sit down the slopes where a drive winds from the parking to the house.

Forde Abbey, the former Cistercian monastery turned house with its celebrated gardens and cascade on the Dorset border, and Cricket St Thomas, the parkland estate in a wooded combe, are the settings that draw weddings, both across large sloping grounds. Chard Reservoir and Hornsbury Mill add lakeside and open-air occasions.

The A30 runs east to Crewkerne and west into Devon and the A358 heads north to Ilminster and Taunton, and the villages ring the town: Combe St Nicholas and Wambrook north and west, Tatworth and Forton south towards the abbey, Winsham and Cricket St Thomas east towards Crewkerne.

We handle the delivery, the on-site setup and the collection, so your team only has to drive.

Delivery to Chard

We deliver to Chard from our Bracknell depot, about 145 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 Chard 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 golf buggy

  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 Chard

Do you deliver golf buggies to Chard?

Yes. We cover Chard, Combe St Nicholas, Tatworth, Winsham, Wambrook, Forton and the surrounding villages, delivering to the venue and collecting afterwards.

How far is Chard from your depot?

Chard is about 145 miles from our Bracknell depot by road. The exact routed distance and your delivery window come with the quote.

Can you handle a large garden like Forde Abbey?

Yes. Sprawling garden estates are where a buggy helps. Any event on the estate is arranged with the house directly; tell us the settings and access points.

Can a buggy manage the steep valley slopes?

Yes, on graded drives and tracks. The ridge falls away steeply, so tell us the venue and where guests need to reach and we will match the buggy to the ground.

Can you supply more than one buggy?

We can. For larger weddings and events we provide several, with trained drivers if you want a managed shuttle.
