Hi neighbour — welcome. We’re Party Buses, the UK’s go-to booking service for party bus hire and luxury transport, and we’ve been helping people across Lancashire for more than 20 years. If you’re hunting for practical Booking Advice for a night out or a wedding transfer in BB9, you’re in the right place.
Party buses work for so many events around Nelson and the surrounding towns — birthdays, proms, weddings, hen and stag parties, race days, concerts and nights out. Our packages cover one-way transfers, round trips or multiple stops so everyone can be picked up and dropped off where needed. When people search for Occasions in Nelson, they often mean a mixture of practical routes and a bit of celebration on the way.
Picture this: music pulsing through the cabin, LED lights cycling gently between colours, friends dancing in their seats and laughing as the bus rolls past Market Square and Victoria Park. That first arrival together at a venue — all of you stepping out at once — is what makes a chauffeur-driven party bus feel special. We make it easy to imagine your own night with a Experience on board that’s lively but comfortable.
Our fleet calls on everything from compact 12–16 seater limo buses through to large 20–24 seater luxury party coaches. Each vehicle is designed for groups who want to travel together in style — think premium seating, sound systems, LED lighting, bar areas and optional karaoke. If you’re weighing up a Vehicles & Features choice, we’ll help you match the size and kit to your group.
Great for small wedding parties, proms or a tight-knit hen or stag group. These are nimble enough for town-centre pick-ups and comfortable for a short tour of Burnley or Colne before the main event.
When everyone wants to stay together — perhaps a bigger wedding party or a festival transfer — the 20–24 seater options are ideal. They bring the party with features like dance floors, advanced sound and room to move.
Karaoke, bottle buckets, bespoke playlists — extras help personalise the trip. Tell us your vibe and we’ll suggest what fits best for your group size and itinerary.
Thinking about stretch limousines, Hummer limos, luxury minibuses or MPVs instead? A party bus is best when you want everyone together and the party to start on the move. Stretch limos give glamour for smaller groups, MPVs and minibuses are economical for returns or split groups. Use our advice to decide whether a Compare Options approach — like booking a party bus outwards and an MPV back — will save you money.
We know Nelson and BB9 — the town centre runs, popular meeting points near the Market Square and Victoria Park, and the routes people use when heading to Burnley’s Turf Moor on match days or the nightlife in Colne and Brierfield. We regularly serve nearby towns including Brierfield, Colne, Burnley, Padiham and Barnoldswick, so our booking team can advise on parking, pick-up points and sensible arrival times for local venues.
All vehicles booked through Party Buses are chauffeur-driven, fully insured and professionally maintained. We work with trusted operators nationwide so you can compare prices, check availability and confirm details in one place — avoiding hours of searching across multiple websites or social media. When customers mention Safety & Trust, they mean drivers with experience, clear terms and vehicles that look after you from pickup to drop-off.
Pricing varies by vehicle size, distance and time of hire. To help you plan, here’s a quick comparison of typical vehicle options and what they suit best.
| Vehicle size | Best for | Common features |
|---|---|---|
| 12–16 seater | Small weddings, proms, groups of friends | Sound system, LED lighting, comfortable seating |
| 20–24 seater | Larger weddings, festival transfers, big nights out | Bar areas, dance space, advanced audio |
| Minibus / MPV | Return journeys, split groups, quieter transfers | Economical, easier parking, flexible routing |
For weekend dates and big local events in BB9 or nearby towns like Burnley and Colne, we recommend booking as early as possible — ideally a few months out for peak periods. For quieter mid-week hires, a few weeks' notice is often enough. Our Booking Advice can help you decide when to lock things in.
Yes. Packages can include one-way transfers, round trips or multiple stops to collect and drop guests. Tell us your route and timings and we’ll build an itinerary that fits your plans.
All chauffeur-driven vehicles booked through Party Buses are fully insured and regularly maintained. Operators often provide drivers with appropriate background checks; if you need DBS checks or extra documentation for school events or kids’ parties, tell us at booking and we’ll confirm.
Ready to get a quote? Tell us your date, guest count and preferred pick-up points — whether that’s Nelson town centre, Victoria Park, a hotel near Market Square, or a route to Turf Moor. We’ll show options for Vehicles & Features across BB9 and nearby postcodes, suggest money-saving ideas like splitting returns to MPVs, and help you choose between a Compare Options shortlist that suits your budget and vibe.
