Golf buggy hire in Grantchester

Golf buggy hire in Grantchester covers the village upstream of Cambridge. The meadows between the two are walked and punted constantly, and the village's orchard, greens and riverside gardens hold events with no parking anywhere near them.

Golf buggy hire around Grantchester

Grantchester lies on the Cam a couple of miles upstream of Cambridge, reached across Grantchester Meadows, which people have walked and punted to for well over a century. The Orchard tea garden has served under its apple trees since 1897, the Old Vicarage stands beside it, and the village keeps a green, a church and a run of riverside gardens.

Village and riverside events here share one constraint: there is nowhere to park and no way to bring a vehicle close. Marquees in riverside gardens, events at the orchard and gatherings on the green all have their access from a narrow lane, and everything from catering to seating to guests crosses grass and gravel to reach the site.

The made lanes, the orchard ground and garden gravel are firm and level, which is workable. The meadows are floodplain and go soft or under water through winter, and the riverbank is soft year round. Grantchester is a run north east from our depot towards Cambridge.

Delivery to Grantchester

We deliver to Grantchester from our Bracknell depot, about 105 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 Grantchester 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.

What buggies get used for around Grantchester

• Riverside garden marquees where the lane is the only access.

• Private celebrations where a van cannot reach the site at all.

Questions about hire in Grantchester

Can a buggy reach a garden a van cannot

Usually, and that is often the whole reason for the hire. A buggy passes through gates, along lanes and between hedges that stop a transit, and it turns and parks in a fraction of the space at the far end.

Are riverside meadows usable for events

In summer on mown ground, generally yes. They are floodplain, so from autumn they go soft and sometimes under water, and driving anything across saturated meadow does real damage. The season decides more than the site does.
