Rugby Live Screening Near Twigworth | Oakwood Hotel

Rugby matters in this part of the country, and a big match deserves a proper screen, a decent pint, and enough room to actually watch without craning round someone’s shoulder. Based in Twigworth on the edge of Gloucester, Oakwood Hotel screens live rugby in The Pub, giving fans in the local area somewhere comfortable to watch without travelling into a packed city-centre sports bar.

If you’re after rugby live screening near Twigworth with good food and drink alongside it, The Pub is where we’d suggest settling in for kick-off.

Watching Rugby at The Pub

The Pub offers a relaxed setting for watching live rugby, with food and drink available throughout the match. Whether it’s a Gallagher Premiership fixture, a Six Nations weekend, or an international test match, it’s an easy spot to settle in without needing to book a busy sports bar seat weeks in advance.

Why a Local Screening Matters

A lot of match-day screenings require a drive into central Gloucester, which isn’t always practical, particularly for early kick-offs or matches with a full day of fixtures. Being based in Twigworth, Oakwood offers the local area a genuine alternative — a proper match-day setting close to home, without needing to plan a longer trip into the city.

Why Choose Oakwood for Match Days

A few reasons rugby fans near Twigworth choose Oakwood over a city-centre sports bar:

• Local, easy access, without the drive into central Gloucester on a big match day.
• A relaxed, uncrowded setting, with room to actually sit and watch the match properly.
• Good food and drink throughout the match, not just at fixed sittings.
• Easy, on-site parking, without the hassle of finding a space near a busy sports bar.

Six Nations Weekends and International Fixtures

Six Nations weekends in particular tend to be some of the busiest days of the year for rugby screenings, often with multiple matches back to back across a single afternoon. Booking ahead is worth doing on these dates specifically.

Make a Day of It

For anyone travelling from further afield for a big match, rooms are available if you’d rather stay over than travel home afterwards.
