Golf buggy hire for literary and arts festivals

Electric golf buggy hire for literary and arts festivals. Move authors, artists, guests and equipment between venues spread across a town or site.

Golf buggy hire for literary and arts festivals moves authors, artists, guests and equipment between the several venues these events spread across a town, a site or an estate, where the programme runs in tents and rooms a walk apart.

A literary or arts festival is a programme spread across places: a main tent, smaller venues, a green room, a signing area and a box office, scattered over a site or through a town over several days. The people it revolves around, the authors and artists appearing, have to get between them to a schedule.

The movement is partly guests and partly the talent. Speakers move from the green room to the stage and to signings on time, older and well-known guests are looked after between venues, and equipment and books travel between the sites, all across distances a busy festival day does not leave time to walk.

What matters at a literary festival

  • Several venues, one programme

    The events run in tents and rooms spread across the site or town, so people and things move between them all day. A buggy linking the venues keeps a packed programme running to time.

  • Authors and artists to schedule

    The talent moves from the green room to the stage and on to signings on a tight timetable. A discreet buggy and driver get them there on time, which matters more than moving numbers at these events.

  • Guests and patrons

    Festivals look after patrons, older guests and visiting names between the venues. A comfortable ride, rather than a walk across a site, is part of hosting them well through a long day.

  • Books, kit and the box office

    Stock, staging and equipment travel between the venues and the stores. A utility buggy carries the boxes of books and the kit between the sites far quicker than by hand over festival distances.

Which buggy suits this

A 4 seater suits moving authors and guests discreetly; a 6 seater carries larger groups between venues; a utility buggy handles books and equipment across the site.
