Golf buggy hire at Hampton Court Palace

Royal palace and gardens in Surrey. Delivered and collected, with a written quote within one working hour.

Hampton Court Palace sits on the Thames at East Molesey, near Esher, with around sixty acres of formal gardens and the far larger Home Park beyond. For an event moving guests between the palace courtyards, the formal gardens and any marquee in the grounds, the distances are long enough that a buggy is worth planning in.

We are an independent golf buggy hire company. We are not affiliated with Hampton Court Palace or endorsed by it, and this page is general guidance for planning transport at the venue. Vehicle access at the venue is arranged with the venue directly, and we work to whatever they set.

About Hampton Court Palace

The palace has formal gardens of around sixty acres, including the Privy Garden, the maze and the Great Fountain Garden, set within a wider park of several hundred acres. For a function using the palace and its gardens, guests move over long distances between the courtyards, the formal gardens and any parkland or marquee spaces.

That spread is exactly what a buggy answers here, carrying guests across the gardens and grounds rather than leaving them to walk the full length of the avenues, particularly older guests or anyone in formal dress.

Access and getting around

Circulation is largely gravel paths, broad avenues and lawns across flat, low-lying riverside ground, so the terrain suits a small vehicle on the made paths.

Hampton Court is managed by Historic Royal Palaces and is a listed royal palace and scheduled monument, so vehicle access is tightly controlled and agreed with the venue, and we work to their requirements.
