Looking for somewhere near Upton upon Severn that can properly handle a Christmas party — music, dancing, a festive atmosphere and room to actually let loose rather than just sit down for a meal? Oakwood Hotel, just outside Gloucester on the Tewkesbury Road, offers flexible party space for groups wanting to celebrate the season in style.
While our Christmas function and Christmas dinner services focus on corporate bookings and sit-down meals, our Christmas parties offering is geared towards groups wanting a proper festive celebration with room to move, music, and a genuine party atmosphere. Spaces can be arranged with a dance floor, sound system and festive decorations.
We regularly host Christmas party bookings for groups of friends, extended families, and social clubs from Upton upon Severn and the surrounding area wanting to celebrate together without the formality of a corporate event.
Christmas party packages typically combine a festive menu with dedicated party space, and can include drinks packages, music or a DJ, and decorations to set the scene. We can tailor the format depending on whether your group wants a full sit-down meal followed by dancing, or a more informal drinks-and-party format.
Christmas parties work well for groups booking together informally, as well as those organising on behalf of a wider group such as a social club. Our events team can help coordinate group bookings and payment arrangements.
December is our busiest period, and party dates — particularly Friday and Saturday evenings — are booked well in advance. If you’re planning a Christmas party near Upton upon Severn, we’d strongly recommend booking as early as possible, ideally by early autumn.
Given the distance from Upton upon Severn, accommodation is available on-site, meaning the night doesn’t have to end early and guests don’t need to worry about the drive home.
