Why Choose Oakwood Over a City Centre Venue

Christmas in Gloucester and Cheltenham city centres can mean crowded venues, limited parking, and higher prices during peak season. Oakwood offers a genuine alternative — a proper country hotel Christmas party experience just a short drive from Churchdown, with the space, service, and atmosphere to match, and none of the usual city-centre hassle.

Staying Over After the Party

Given the nature of a good Christmas party, many guests prefer not to drive home afterwards. Oakwood’s on-site accommodation makes this easy, allowing guests to enjoy the evening fully and stay over rather than arranging a late taxi. Our rooms page has full details on accommodation available during the festive period.
