Running a training session properly takes more than a room and a projector — it needs a space that keeps delegates focused, comfortable, and properly fed throughout the day. Right in Twigworth, Oakwood Hotel offers a dedicated venue for training sessions, giving local businesses and training providers a genuinely convenient option without the cost and hassle of a city-centre conference venue.
Oakwood Hotel is based on Tewkesbury Rd in Twigworth, offering a quiet, distraction-free environment that suits structured training sessions particularly well. Our space, part of the wider occasions and events offering at Oakwood, can be arranged specifically for training use, with a layout that supports a full day of learning rather than a quick meeting or informal gathering.
Being genuinely local to Twigworth means training providers and local businesses can run sessions without the added cost and complication of hiring space further into Gloucester or Cheltenham, making it a practical choice for both one-off courses and recurring training programmes.
Training sessions typically run longer and more intensively than a standard meeting, and the space needs to support that. At Oakwood, we work with organisers to arrange seating suited to the format of the course, whether that’s a classroom-style layout for presentation-led training, round tables for group exercises and discussion, or a more flexible arrangement for sessions that combine both.
Breaks matter just as much as the content itself when it comes to keeping delegates engaged, and our catering is built with this in mind — proper refreshments throughout the day, a working lunch that doesn’t leave attendees sluggish for the afternoon session, and food built around quality Gloucestershire produce rather than generic conference catering.
Training sessions come from all sorts of organisers, and Oakwood’s flexibility allows us to accommodate most of them. Local businesses running internal training or upskilling sessions for their own staff benefit from a private, professional setting away from the usual office. External training providers and course facilitators delivering sessions to delegates from multiple companies appreciate a neutral, well-equipped venue that isn’t tied to any single business. Certification or accredited courses that run across a full day, or multiple days, can make use of the space for a consistent, reliable setting throughout the programme.
If you’re planning a specific training format, our events team is happy to talk through the details and help arrange the most suitable layout and catering for your course.
Oakwood’s location right in Twigworth makes it a practical, central venue for delegates travelling from the local area, as well as those coming from Gloucester, Cheltenham, and the wider Gloucestershire region. On-site parking is available for all attendees, which is particularly useful for full-day training sessions where delegates need somewhere reliable to leave their car for the duration.
For multi-day training programmes, or for delegates travelling from further afield to attend, Oakwood also offers comfortable rooms, making it possible to combine the course with overnight accommodation and keep the whole programme in one location.
