Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea Near Longford: Celebrate at Oakwood Hotel

Few occasions suit afternoon tea quite as well as Mother’s Day — a chance to slow down, sit together properly, and enjoy good food without rushing through the day. Just a short distance from Longford, Oakwood Hotel hosts a Mother’s Day afternoon tea built around quality Gloucestershire produce, giving local families a genuinely relaxed way to mark the occasion close to home.

An Afternoon Tea Worth the Occasion

Oakwood Hotel is based on Tewkesbury Rd in Twigworth, within easy reach of Longford, and our Mother’s Day afternoon tea takes place in The Drawing Room, a bright, comfortable space suited to exactly this kind of celebratory gathering. Rather than treating the day as just another busy sitting, we put proper care into the occasion — a considered spread, attentive service, and enough time for families to actually enjoy being together.

Being genuinely close to Longford means families don’t need to travel far to find somewhere suitable for the occasion, making the day itself easier to organise, particularly for guests with mobility considerations or young children in tow.

What’s Included on the Day

Our Mother’s Day afternoon tea includes all the classic elements done properly — a tiered stand filled with delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones served with clotted cream and jam, and a selection of cakes and pastries made using quality local produce. Tea is naturally central to the occasion, with a good range of options available alongside coffee for guests who prefer it.

For Mother’s Day specifically, we often introduce seasonal touches or specially chosen additions, so it’s worth checking with us closer to the date to see what’s included that year. Guests wanting something extra can also ask about adding a glass of prosecco or a cocktail to properly toast the occasion.

A Relaxed Setting for the Whole Family

Mother’s Day afternoon tea suits a wide range of group sizes, from an intimate gathering of two to a larger celebration bringing together several generations. The relaxed pace of afternoon tea gives families the chance to properly sit, talk, and enjoy each other’s company, rather than rushing through a more formal sit-down meal. Our setting away from busier venues means a calmer overall experience, without the rushed service that can come with peak Mother’s Day bookings elsewhere.

Because Mother’s Day is one of the busiest dates in our calendar, we’d strongly recommend booking well in advance to guarantee your preferred time slot. For larger family groups, or if you’d like to arrange something extra to mark the occasion, our occasions and events team is happy to help plan the details ahead of the day.

Make It a Full Day Out

For families travelling from further afield, or those who’d simply like to extend the celebration, Oakwood also offers comfortable rooms, turning Mother’s Day afternoon tea into the centrepiece of a longer visit or overnight stay.
