Bonfire Night Venues Near Staunton

Looking for somewhere to celebrate Bonfire Night near Staunton? Oakwood Hotel offers a warm, welcoming setting just 20–25 km away in Twigworth, on the edge of Gloucester — combining good food, a proper fire, and a genuinely festive atmosphere for one of the year’s most popular seasonal celebrations.

Bonfire Night is one of those occasions that’s better shared, and Oakwood has built its seasonal offering around exactly that — a chance to gather with family and friends, warm up with good food and drink, and enjoy the evening properly rather than standing in a muddy field.

A Proper Bonfire Night Setting

Our grounds provide a comfortable, well-organised setting for Bonfire Night celebrations, combining the atmosphere of an outdoor fire with the comfort of being able to step inside for warmth, food, and drink whenever needed. It’s an approach that suits families with young children just as well as larger groups looking for a proper night out.

For those planning a group visit or wanting more detail on how we run seasonal events like this, our occasions and events page has more information on how we approach celebrations throughout the year.

Food and Drink to Match the Occasion

Bonfire Night calls for warming, comforting food, and our kitchen team builds a seasonal menu around exactly that — hearty dishes made with quality Gloucestershire produce, alongside warming drinks to match the autumn chill. Whether you’re grabbing something quick between fireworks or settling in for a proper meal at The Pub, there’s an option to suit the evening. You can explore more of our food offering on the dining page.

A Family-Friendly Evening Out

Bonfire Night at Oakwood is designed to work for all ages — a relaxed, well-run event where families can enjoy the fire and festivities without the crowding and long queues often found at larger public displays. It’s a popular choice for families travelling from Staunton and the surrounding villages who want a proper evening out without an overly long journey home in the cold.

Make a Night of It

For those who’d rather not drive home after a late Bonfire Night finish, Oakwood’s on-site rooms offer a convenient, comfortable option to stay over. This is a particularly popular choice for families wanting to avoid a late-night drive with tired children, or for groups wanting to extend the celebration into the following morning.
