Golf buggy hire in Northampton

Golf buggy hire in Northampton serves the great estate and country house venues of the Northamptonshire shires, including Althorp and Castle Ashby. These are historic grounds on a scale where an event uses parkland far too extensive to walk between points.

Golf buggy hire around Northampton

Northampton, long the country's shoemaking capital, sits amid a remarkable concentration of aristocratic estates. Althorp, the Spencer family seat, stands in a landscaped park around its lake; Castle Ashby carries gardens attributed to Capability Brown; and Holdenby was once the largest house in Elizabethan England. The estates here are grander than the market town that serves them.

These are the sort of estates where transport is planned into an event rather than added on, because the distances between the parts of the grounds are the basic condition of the day. The parkland is managed and generally firm, with made-up drives and mown lawns within a standard buggy's range.

Historic properties set their own vehicle access rules to protect the grounds, agreed with their teams, and a light electric buggy is the kind of vehicle that gets permission where anything heavier would not. The drivable route across parkland is usually longer than the walking line.

Delivery to Northampton

We deliver to Northampton from our Bracknell depot, about 90 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 Northampton 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.

What buggies get used for around Northampton

• Great estate and country house weddings where the grounds defeat walking.
• Moving guests across landscaped parkland between the ceremony, photographs and reception.
• Heritage venues where light electric vehicles are permitted and heavier ones are not.
