Staff Party Venue Near Longford: Reward Your Team at Oakwood Hotel

A proper staff party goes a long way toward team morale, and finding the right venue makes all the difference between a forgettable evening and one people actually look forward to. Just a short distance from Longford, Oakwood Hotel offers a genuinely flexible venue for staff parties, whether you’re planning a relaxed end-of-year celebration or something a bit bigger to mark a great year for the business.

A Venue That Adapts to Your Team

Oakwood Hotel is based on Tewkesbury Rd in Twigworth, within easy reach of Longford, and our approach to staff parties centres on flexibility, since every workplace celebrates differently. For a relaxed, sociable evening, The Pub offers a warm, welcoming setting well suited to drinks and informal conversation among colleagues. For a larger or more formal event, our function room, part of the wider occasions and events offering, provides a dedicated private space for a sit-down meal, speeches, or awards.

Being genuinely close to Longford means local businesses don’t need to travel into Gloucester or Cheltenham to find a suitable venue, cutting down on logistics and travel time for staff attending after work.

Catering That Suits the Occasion

Whichever format you choose, food remains an important part of a proper staff celebration. For a formal sit-down event, our kitchen can put together a considered menu built around quality Gloucestershire produce, ideal for marking the occasion properly. For a more relaxed gathering, we can arrange a buffet or sharing platters suited to a group that wants to mingle and celebrate rather than sit through a lengthy formal meal.

We’re happy to accommodate dietary requirements across your team, ensuring everyone attending can properly enjoy the evening.

Suited to a Range of Staff Celebrations

Staff parties come in many forms depending on the business and occasion, and Oakwood’s flexible space allows us to accommodate most of them. End-of-year celebrations, marking the close of a busy year, suit a livelier, more social format in The Pub or our function room. Achievement or milestone celebrations, recognising a successful project or business milestone, benefit from a more formal setting with space for speeches or awards. Simple team socials, rewarding staff with a proper night out, work well with either a relaxed or more structured format depending on your team’s preference.

Whatever the occasion, our events team can help plan the details, from catering to seating and any specific requests.

Booking Ahead Is Recommended

Popular dates, particularly around the festive season and Friday evenings, tend to book up well in advance, so we’d recommend getting in touch as early as possible to secure your preferred date.

Extend the Celebration Overnight
