Choose from a wide fleet depending on the vibe and headcount — from compact limo buses to large luxury party coaches. Here’s what you can expect on board.
Compact and lively, the 12–16 seater limo buses are perfect for tight-knit groups who want to start the celebration early. Expect plush seating, LED lighting, and high-quality sound systems.
If you’re bringing a big group, the 20–24 seater party coaches give everyone space to dance, mingle and keep the party alive between venues — many come with bar areas, dance floors and karaoke setups.
Whether you’re planning a wedding, prom, hen or stag, a birthday or a lively night out, we’ve got flexible packages that suit your day — one-way transfers, round trips or a multi-stop pub crawl across Suffolk.
Want to save a few quid? Consider booking a party bus for the outward journey and a smaller minibus or MPV for the return, or split a large group across two smaller vehicles. Book well in advance for summer weekends, and if you can be flexible with mid-week or daytime slots, fares are often lower.
Tip: sharing the cost between friends and choosing a set itinerary with a driver who knows local routes — from Southwold seafront to nearby towns — keeps the night smooth and predictable.

There’s something magical about cruising into Southwold with friends — lights changing colour, music pulsing and the sea breeze on the promenade as you step off together. Locals and visitors alike often spot party buses near the pier, around the seafront and by Adnams’ tasting rooms — ideal drop-off points for photos and a proper Suffolk welcome.
We also cover nearby towns like Dunwich, Halesworth, Leiston, Carlton Colville and Beccles, so whether your celebrations start in town and finish at a country venue or the other way around, our drivers know the best routes and local parking considerations. That local knowledge saves time and stress on the big day.
Not every event needs the same vehicle. A 12–16 seater limo buses gives intimacy and atmosphere; a 20–24 seater party coaches are better for large groups who want to party en route. For arrivals that turn heads, a stretch limo or Hummer might be the ticket — but remember, a party bus keeps everyone together and extends the celebration from departure to arrival.

These are the memories our customers tell us about.
