Live Entertainment Near Kingsholm

For those searching for live entertainment near Kingsholm, Oakwood Hotel offers a varied and consistently high-quality programme of events, all within easy reach of the city on the outskirts of Gloucester in Twigworth.

From live music and karaoke to comedy nights, sports screenings and seasonal celebrations, Oakwood Hotel has been designed as a genuine local destination — somewhere Kingsholm residents can enjoy a great night out without a long journey into town.

A Full Calendar of Entertainment

Our events calendar reflects the range of experiences people are looking for. On any given week you might find a live band performing in The Pub, a themed evening in The Drawing Room, or a special seasonal event bringing the whole community together. This variety is intentional — we want Oakwood to be a venue people return to again and again, not just for one type of night out.

Entertainment nights are hosted across our different spaces depending on the format. Livelier events such as bands and karaoke typically take place in The Pub, where the atmosphere is informal and the bar list extensive. Quieter, more intimate evenings often make use of The Drawing Room, offering a calmer setting for guests who prefer a relaxed pace.

Dinner and a Show

Many guests like to build a full evening around our entertainment nights. The Grill serves seasonal, produce-led menus that make an excellent start to any night out, and booking ahead means you can enjoy dinner without any pressure before moving on to the evening’s entertainment.

If you’re planning a special occasion — a birthday, anniversary or milestone celebration built around one of our entertainment nights — our occasions and events team can help put together a package that suits your group, from reserved seating to a private dining space.

For guests who’d rather not worry about the journey home to Kingsholm, our rooms are available on-site, so you can enjoy the full evening and stay over comfortably.
