Rugby Live Screening Near Longford: Watch the Match at Oakwood Hotel

Rugby deserves a proper setting to watch it in — a big screen, decent sound, and enough space for a good crowd to get behind the game together. Just a short distance from Longford, Oakwood Hotel screens live rugby throughout the season, giving local fans a reliable, comfortable spot to catch every match without the crowds of a busier sports bar.

A Proper Setting for Rugby

Oakwood Hotel is based on Tewkesbury Rd in Twigworth, within easy reach of Longford, and our rugby screenings take place in The Pub, fitted out with big screens and clear sound to do the game justice. Rather than squeezing into a packed bar with a poor view of the action, guests at Oakwood get proper seating, a clear sightline to the screen, and enough room to actually enjoy the match with friends or family.

Being genuinely close to Longford means rugby fans don’t need to travel into Gloucester or Cheltenham to find a decent screening, particularly given the strong rugby culture across Gloucestershire.

What We Screen

Oakwood’s rugby coverage typically includes Six Nations fixtures, international test matches, and major domestic and European club games throughout the season. Given the area’s strong connection to the sport, rugby screenings tend to draw a proper crowd, with the atmosphere reflecting the genuine passion local fans have for the game.

Because fixture schedules change throughout the season, we’d recommend checking with us directly or following our events updates ahead of a specific match to confirm we’re showing it.

Food and Drink Throughout the Match

A rugby screening is only as good as what’s available to eat and drink while you watch, and our full food menu is available throughout every match, built around quality Gloucestershire produce as with everything else at Oakwood. Alongside the food, our bar covers draught beer, wine, and soft drinks, giving fans everything they need to properly settle in for the full match.

Great for Groups and Regular Fans

Rugby is best watched with a proper crowd, and Oakwood’s atmosphere is built around exactly that — genuine passion for the game, friendly rivalry, and a sociable crowd rather than a quiet room with a screen in the corner. Whether you’re watching with a regular group of mates, bringing the family along for a big international, or organising a larger group outing for a major fixture, the space adapts comfortably.

For larger groups or a more organised matchday booking, our occasions and events team can help arrange reserved seating, food packages, and drinks tailored to your group ahead of a big game.

Stay Over After the Final Whistle

Because Oakwood is right in Twigworth, close to Longford, there’s no long journey home once the match ends, and for those who’d like to make more of the day, our comfortable rooms offer the option to stay overnight.
