Just a short distance from Innsworth, Oakwood Hotel offers a genuinely flexible venue for engagement parties, whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a larger celebration with a wider guest list.

A Venue Suited to Your Engagement Party

Oakwood Hotel is based on Tewkesbury Rd in Twigworth, within easy reach of Innsworth, and our approach to engagement parties reflects the range of ways couples like to celebrate. For a relaxed, sociable gathering, The Pub offers a warm, welcoming setting well suited to drinks and informal conversation among family and friends. For a larger or more organised celebration, our function room, part of the wider occasions and events offering, provides a dedicated private space for a sit-down meal or a proper party atmosphere.

Being genuinely close to Innsworth means couples and their families don’t need to travel far to find a venue capable of doing the occasion justice.

Catering Built Around the Celebration

Whichever format you choose, food and drink remain central to how we approach engagement parties at Oakwood. For a formal sit-down event, our kitchen can put together a considered menu built around quality Gloucestershire produce. For a more relaxed gathering, we can arrange a buffet or sharing platters suited to a group that wants to mingle and celebrate together, alongside a full drinks selection including our dedicated mocktail menu for guests who’d prefer to celebrate without alcohol.

We’re happy to accommodate dietary requirements across your guest list, so everyone attending can properly enjoy the occasion.

Suited to a Range of Engagement Celebrations

Engagement parties vary considerably in scale and style, and Oakwood’s flexible space allows us to accommodate most of them. Small, intimate celebrations with close family suit a quieter table in The Grill or The Drawing Room. Larger parties bringing together a wider circle of friends and family benefit from the more social atmosphere of The Pub or our function room. Formal announcements combined with a proper sit-down meal work well booked as a private event in advance.

For larger or more organised celebrations, our events team can help plan the details, from seating arrangements to any specific requests you have in mind.
