Golf buggy hire at Notley Abbey

Notley Abbey is a historic abbey wedding venue near Thame in Buckinghamshire, a former medieval monastery set in gardens and grounds by the river. A buggy is worth considering for a wedding here because the house, the lawns and the ceremony spots sit apart across grounds that take longer to cross than they look.

We are an independent golf buggy hire company. We are not affiliated with Notley Abbey 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 Notley Abbey

Notley Abbey is a former monastic house in gardens and grounds near Thame, and the way its spaces are laid out is what makes buggy transport worth a thought for a wedding. The house, the lawns and the outdoor ceremony areas sit apart from one another, with paths and grass linking them, so a day using several of them means a fair amount of walking between each.

For a wedding that moves from a ceremony to drinks on the lawn to a reception indoors, those short walks add up over the course of the day, and they add up for the guests least able to manage them. A buggy shuttling between the parts of the grounds is what answers that here.

Access and getting around

The grounds are a mix of gravel paths, lawns and garden routes near the historic buildings, broadly level and firm underfoot, which an electric buggy handles easily, though some paths narrow near the house.

The venue sets its own rules on where a vehicle may go and on which surfaces, and those permissions are agreed with Notley Abbey directly rather than with us.
