Not everyone wants to spend Valentine’s Day at a quiet table for two — for plenty of people, the day is better marked with friends, drinks, and a livelier atmosphere. Around a 25-minute drive from Upton upon Severn, Oakwood Hotel in Twigworth hosts a Valentine’s party evening built specifically around that idea, offering a sociable alternative to the traditional romantic dinner.
While Oakwood’s Grill hosts an intimate Valentine’s dinner for couples, The Pub takes a different approach for the evening, with a livelier, more social atmosphere suited to groups of friends, singles nights out, or anyone who’d simply rather celebrate the occasion without the pressure of a formal dinner date.
A Valentine’s-themed drinks menu is typically available, alongside sharing plates and pub classics designed for a night spent mingling and grazing rather than sitting through a formal multi-course meal. It’s food built to suit a party atmosphere, without losing the quality found across the hotel’s usual offering.
Valentine’s party evenings work particularly well for groups of friends looking for a night out together, whether that’s a celebration of Galentine’s, a singles-friendly evening, or simply a group who’d rather spend the day with each other than pair off into couples. The format is deliberately inclusive, aimed at anyone wanting a good night out during that time of year.
Despite the livelier energy, Oakwood’s Valentine’s party retains the same comfortable, welcoming feel found throughout the hotel — a proper night out rather than an overcrowded, impersonal event.
Located at Tewkesbury Rd, Twigworth, Gloucester GL2 9PG, Oakwood Hotel is around a 25-minute drive from Upton upon Severn, making it a manageable option for a Valentine’s night out with friends.
For guests who’d rather not drive home after a later finish, on-site rooms mean the Valentine’s party can easily extend into an overnight stay.
