Live Music Near Kingsholm

Looking for live music near Kingsholm? Oakwood Hotel, located just outside Gloucester in Twigworth, has become a firm favourite for locals wanting a proper night of live music without heading into the city.

Our regular music programme brings together a mix of solo acoustic performers, duos and full bands, giving guests a genuine variety of sound throughout the month. It’s an easy, relaxed way to spend an evening — good music, good company and a setting that feels like it belongs to the local community.

Music Nights at Oakwood Hotel

Live music evenings are usually hosted in The Pub, where the informal atmosphere and welcoming bar make for a comfortable night whether you’re settling in for the whole set or just dropping by for a drink and a listen. On warmer evenings, music sometimes spills out onto The Terrace, giving guests the chance to enjoy the sound al fresco.

The line-up changes regularly, covering everything from acoustic singer-songwriters to full band nights with a wider repertoire. This variety means there’s usually something for different tastes, whether you prefer a mellow Sunday afternoon session or a livelier Saturday night.

Pairing Music with Dinner

A live music evening pairs naturally with dinner at The Grill, where our menus focus on seasonal Gloucestershire produce. Booking a table ahead of the performance means you can enjoy a relaxed meal before the music gets underway, without needing to rush your evening.

If you’re planning something a little more special — a birthday, anniversary, or celebration built around a live music night — our occasions and events team can help arrange a reserved area or private space for your group.

And for those who’d rather not think about the drive home to Kingsholm, our rooms are available right on-site, making it easy to enjoy the full evening and stay over.

Bringing the Community Together Through Music

Music has always been central to good hospitality, and at Oakwood Hotel it’s one of the ways we bring the wider Gloucester community — including Kingsholm — together in one place. Whether you’re a regular or trying us for the first time, our live music nights offer a genuine, welcoming atmosphere.
