Christmas Function Near Upton upon Severn

Businesses and organisations near Upton upon Severn planning a Christmas function for staff or clients will find Oakwood Hotel, just outside Gloucester on the Tewkesbury Road, well equipped to handle it, with flexible spaces, festive catering, and packages built specifically for group bookings during the busiest time of year.

What’s Included

Unlike a standard Christmas dinner booking, a Christmas function is arranged as a group event — a company Christmas party, a client entertainment evening, or an end-of-year gathering. Our packages generally include a festive set menu, private or semi-private space depending on numbers, and the option to add entertainment or a DJ once the meal is done.

Corporate Christmas Parties

We regularly host corporate Christmas parties for businesses based near Upton upon Severn and across the wider county, from smaller teams sharing a table through to full private events for larger companies. Given how quickly festive dates fill up, we’d recommend businesses start planning by late summer or early autumn.

Catering and Drinks

Christmas function menus are built around traditional festive flavours and Gloucestershire produce, typically served as a set menu to keep service efficient for larger groups. Drinks packages can be arranged alongside the meal, from a welcome drink through to a full bar tab for the evening.

Entertainment and Extras

For businesses wanting more than just a meal, we can help arrange entertainment, music or a DJ to extend the evening into a proper party. Our events team can talk through options based on group size and the tone you’re after.

Accommodation for Function Guests

Given the distance from Upton upon Severn, a room block can be arranged for staff or clients wanting to stay overnight after a function, particularly useful for events running late into the evening. Accommodation is available on-site.
