Golf buggy hire in Leicester

Golf buggy hire in Leicester covers the fox-hunting shire's country house venues, from Stapleford Park to the halls around the Wolds. This is old sporting-estate country, and the grounds are laid out for horses and carriages, which is to say on a scale that leaves a wedding guest a long way from the door.

Golf buggy hire around Leicester

Leicester lies at the heart of the old hunting shires, where the great houses were built for a sporting life across open country. Stapleford Park is now a country house hotel in that tradition, Prestwold Hall keeps its Regency parkland, and Bradgate Park, the ruined home of Lady Jane Grey, spreads across ancient deer-grazed common on the city's edge.

The parkland here is managed and generally firm, with made-up drives and mown lawns within a standard buggy's range. At the larger estates the route is worth planning, being longer across parkland than the direct line.

These are grounds where a buggy shortens the distances for guests who cannot walk them, particularly in formal dress, and where the historic properties set their own access rules to protect the grounds, agreed with their teams.

Beyond the sporting estates, the shire's weddings fill houses like Rothley Court and the halls of the Wolds and the Vale of Belvoir below the castle, where the parking and the marquee sit a lawn apart. A buggy links them and spares older and less mobile guests the walk, with an easy-access buggy where a guest cannot manage it. The historic grounds set the routes, and a light electric buggy is what they permit.

Delivery to Leicester

We deliver to Leicester from our Bracknell depot, about 125 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 Leicester 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.
