A Venue Built for Match Days

Watching sport is as much about atmosphere as it is about the screen itself. The Pub at Oakwood Hotel has been shaped around this — a relaxed, sociable space where sport is part of the character of the room rather than an afterthought. For fans near Innsworth, it offers an alternative to city-centre sports bars, with the same energy but without the crowds, the queues, or the difficulty finding parking on a big match night.

Why Choose a Venue Near Innsworth

Travelling into Gloucester or Cheltenham for a major sporting event often means dealing with limited parking, packed venues, and a longer journey home once the final whistle blows.

Food and Drink for the Occasion

Group Bookings and Private Screenings

For societies, companies, or larger groups of friends wanting to watch a major fixture together, Oakwood’s occasions & events spaces can be arranged for private screenings, giving groups near Innsworth a dedicated space rather than competing for a table on a busy night.
