Hire at a venue
Golf buggy hire at South of England Showground
Agricultural showground and outdoor events venue in West Sussex. Delivered and collected, with a written quote within one working hour.
A showground is one of the founding cases for this kind of vehicle. Trade stands run along avenues, rings and livestock lines sit apart from them, and visitor parking fills fields at the perimeter, so the people running the day cover several miles of it from early morning.
We are an independent golf buggy hire company. We are not affiliated with South of England Showground 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 South of England Showground
The showground at Ardingly holds the South of England Show along with antiques and collectors fairs, game fairs and other large outdoor events through the year, on a substantial site in mid Sussex.
Stewards, judges, organisers and first aid teams cross the whole footprint repeatedly during a show, and exhibitors move stock and stand materials during build and breakdown either side. Both are jobs a buggy does far better than walking or than taking a van across grass.
The pattern repeats at every county show in the country, which is why showgrounds tend to run buggies as ordinary event equipment rather than as an extra.
Access and getting around
Made avenues and hardcore tracks hold up well and are the dependable routes. The rest is grass, and a wet show week changes what should be driven anywhere, which showground management will usually rule on before we do.
We match the vehicle to the ground and will advise against rather than send something that cuts up a surface the show has to use again.

Questions about hire at South of England Showground
- How far is the showground from your depot
- Ardingly is about 55 miles by road from our Bracknell depot. Delivery is priced on that distance and shown as its own line on the quote.
- Can we hire for the show week including build and breakdown
- Yes, and that is the usual shape of a showground booking. The vehicles arrive for build, work through the event and go back after breakdown, charged for the period rather than as a longer arrangement.
- What happens if the ground is wet
- We adjust or advise against rather than send a vehicle that will damage the surface. Saturated grass is bad for traction, bad for the ground and bad for the show, and we would say so honestly at quote stage and again before delivery.
- Are you connected with the showground
- No. We are an independent hire company with no affiliation or endorsement. We supply organisers and exhibitors working there, within whatever the showground permits.
