Golf buggy hire in Slapton

We hire electric buggies to Slapton and Start Bay, for weddings and events at the country houses, the halls and the settings above Slapton Ley and Sands. Every buggy comes charged, is placed where you want it and is collected at the end. Let us have the date, the venue and the guest count and we will put a quote together.

Golf buggy hire around Slapton

Slapton is a South Hams village set back above Slapton Ley, the largest natural freshwater lake in the south west, held from the sea only by the long shingle line of Slapton Sands, where American troops rehearsed the D-Day landings and a recovered Sherman tank now stands as a memorial. The village, the country houses and the settings around Slapton and neighbouring Torcross, Strete and Blackawton run weddings and events across village, lagoon-side and pasture ground.

The lagoon-side and pasture ground is where a buggy earns its place: the village sits on the rise above the Ley with the settings, the halls and parking spread between the lake, the shingle and the fields behind, so a car park and a marquee can sit apart and above one another. A buggy carries guests over it, saves older guests the walk down towards the Ley or up from the shore, and keeps a party moving on ground that runs from firm village lane to sloping pasture and lagoon-side grass, soft after rain by the water.

Slapton lies off the A379 near Torcross, with Torcross, Strete, Blackawton and Stokenham close by. We drop off, set up and collect, so a day above the Ley runs smoothly.

Delivery to Slapton

We deliver to Slapton from Bracknell, about 200 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 Slapton 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 Slapton

• Carrying guests down towards the Ley or up from the shore.
• Moving a wedding party between a ceremony and a reception.
• Sparing older relatives the walk across sloping ground.
• Crossing sloping pasture and lagoon-side grass that softens after rain.

Questions about hire in Slapton

Do you deliver golf buggies to Slapton?

Yes. We cover Slapton, Torcross, Strete, Blackawton and Stokenham, delivering to the venue and collecting afterwards.

Can buggies manage the lagoon-side and pasture ground?

The ground slopes and softens by the water, so tell us the route and surfaces and we will send a buggy suited to them.

Do you cover weddings at the local halls and houses?

We do. Tell us the layout and where guests park and we will plan the buggies around your day.

How many buggies will we need?

It depends on guest numbers and the distances on site. Give us both and we will suggest a sensible number.
