Festival Accommodation in Gloucester | Oakwood Hotel

Festival Accommodation in Gloucester

Gloucester and the surrounding area host a range of festivals and events throughout the year, from Cheltenham Festival at Prestbury Park to smaller local events across the county. Oakwood Hotel, on the edge of Gloucester in Twigworth, offers festival accommodation that works as a base for whatever’s on, without needing to book right in the middle of the action.

If you’re after festival accommodation in Gloucester that’s comfortable, well-run, and offers an easy drive to wherever the event is taking place, Oakwood is worth considering.

A Quiet Base for Festival Visitors

Festival periods tend to bring the same challenges wherever they’re held — busy town centres, stretched accommodation, and inflated prices close to the event itself. Staying just outside the centre, in Twigworth, tends to offer better availability and a quieter place to return to once the day’s events are done.

Rooms Built for Festival Stays

Our rooms are simple, comfortable, and properly quiet — well suited to festival visitors needing a proper rest between event days. Flexible check-in works around festival schedules, and early breakfast can be arranged for guests with an early start.

Dining to Match a Festival Trip

Festival days are long, and a proper meal either side of it matters. Our dining offers The Grill for a more considered evening meal and The Pub for something relaxed and easy after a full day out.

Groups Attending Festivals Together

Festival trips often mean groups travelling together. Our occasions & events team can help arrange a block of rooms and dining for groups attending an event together.

Booking Festival Accommodation

Whatever event brings you to the area, get in touch directly with your dates and we’ll help arrange a stay that works around it — this matters most during busier periods like Cheltenham Festival week, when demand across the wider Gloucester area rises sharply.
