Charity Events Near Upton upon Severn

Local charities and fundraising organisers near Upton upon Severn looking for somewhere to host a quiz night, an auction dinner, or an awareness event will find Oakwood Hotel, just outside Gloucester on the Tewkesbury Road, a practical and welcoming choice, with space suited to events of varying scale.

Formats We Can Handle

Charity events take many shapes — a formal fundraising dinner with an auction, a quiz night, a coffee morning, or a larger gala evening — and Oakwood’s spaces can be arranged to match. The Drawing Room suits daytime or more relaxed fundraising events well, while larger evening galas can be arranged in our function spaces, with staging available for an auction or presentation if needed.

We regularly work with charities from Upton upon Severn and across the wider county, and our events team understands the particular considerations that come with a fundraising event — tighter budgets than a typical private celebration, and ticketing logistics that need a bit more thought.

Catering on a Charity Budget

Food and drink can be tailored to suit your budget and format, from a simple finger buffet through to a full sit-down dinner. We’re happy to discuss options that balance quality against the reality that every pound spent on catering is a pound not going to the cause.

Preferential Rates

As a hotel positioned to be part of the local community, we’re generally happy to discuss preferential rates for registered charities and community organisations.

Presentation and Auction Support

Many charity events include a presentation element — sharing the impact of the charity’s work, running an auction, or recognising volunteers. Screens, microphones and sound equipment can be arranged to support this part of the evening.

Accommodation for Visiting Speakers

For charity events bringing in guest speakers or patrons from further afield, accommodation is available on-site.
