Golf buggy hire in Hitchin

Golf buggy hire in Hitchin covers the north Hertfordshire market town. The lavender fields outside it draw heavy summer visiting across open chalk rows, and the town's market square and priory grounds carry its events.

Golf buggy hire around Hitchin

Hitchin is a market town in north Hertfordshire with a large medieval church, a market square that still holds a market, and a street plan that has not much changed. Hitchin Lavender, on the chalk just outside the town, opens rows of lavender and sunflowers to pick through the summer and draws very large numbers into a working field, and Hitchin Priory sits in parkland by the Hiz.

The lavender operation is the unusual one and the more interesting. It is a farm field opened as a visitor attraction for a short season, with rows running a long way up a chalk slope, parking at the bottom and a shop and café at one end. Visitors walk further than they expect on a hot day, and staff cover the field constantly through the season with equipment and stock.

Chalk field ground drains well and stays firm through a dry summer, which is when the season runs, though the rows are on a slope that steepens towards the top and that is where a buggy's limit sits. The priory parkland and the town's made ground are level and easy. Hitchin is a run round the M25 and up the A1 corridor.

Delivery to Hitchin

We deliver to Hitchin from our Bracknell depot, about 75 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 Hitchin 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 Hitchin

• Pick-your-own and farm attractions with a short intense visitor season.
• Open field sites where parking is at the bottom and the crop is up the slope.
• Market town events with no loading access at the square.
• Parkland and priory grounds where the drive and the house sit apart.

Questions about hire in Hitchin

Are buggies used at farm visitor attractions

Increasingly, because farms opening to visitors inherit all the distance problems of a farm with none of the vehicles a visitor can use. Staff move stock and equipment across a field all season, and less mobile visitors get much further than they otherwise would.

Can a buggy work up a sloping field

On a gentle chalk slope in dry conditions, yes. As the gradient steepens it becomes the limiting factor, particularly loaded, and chalk gets greasy after rain. We would look at the actual field rather than give a general answer.

How far is Hitchin from your depot
