Golf buggy hire in Hickstead

Golf buggy hire in Hickstead serves the All England Jumping Course. A showjumping meeting spreads international arenas, warm-up rings, stabling, lorry parks and hospitality across a large flat site, and the distance between them is covered by vehicle as a matter of routine.

Golf buggy hire around Hickstead

Hickstead is a hamlet on the old London to Brighton road in mid Sussex, and it exists in most people's minds as one thing: the All England Jumping Course, founded here in the sixties and home to the Hickstead Derby with its famous bank, and to the Royal International Horse Show. The site runs international showjumping meetings through the summer season.

An equestrian showground is a specific and demanding environment. There are international and secondary arenas, warm-up and collecting rings, stabling, a lorry and horsebox park that can run to acres, hospitality, trade stands and spectator areas, and everything about the timetable is unforgiving. Officials, course builders, grooms, vets and organisers move across the whole site constantly, and course building alone shifts a great deal of equipment between rings.

Around horses, quiet matters more than anywhere else we work. An electric buggy produces no engine note and no exhaust, which is why equestrian venues favour them over anything with a motor. The ground is largely level grass and hardcore track, good in a dry season. All movement near horses runs to the venue's rules and their safety judgement comes first.

Delivery to Hickstead

We deliver to Hickstead from our Bracknell depot, about 60 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 Hickstead 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 Hickstead

Are electric buggies suitable around horses

They are usually the preferred option at equestrian venues, because there is no engine noise and no exhaust to unsettle a horse. That said, horses are unpredictable and every venue sets its own rules about where vehicles may move and at what speed. Those rules come first.

Do you supply buggies for equestrian events

Yes. Showgrounds and horse trials are a natural fit: large flat sites, long distances between rings, stabling and lorry parks, and a timetable that leaves no room for walking it. We can supply passenger and utility vehicles for the event period.

How far is Hickstead from your depot

Around 60 miles from our Bracknell depot, south east into mid Sussex. The road distance is priced as its own line on the quote.

Do you cover Burgess Hill, Bolney and Albourne as well

Yes. They are the neighbouring places around Hickstead and sit in the same run, each priced on the road distance to the venue.
