Christmas Party Venues in Gloucestershire

Cheltenham has the most, many of them in the town centre around the Promenade and Montpellier, with more in and around Gloucester. Country house hotels, inns and resorts are spread through the Cotswolds, near the Slaughters, Cirencester and Tewkesbury, most with parking.

Cheltenham Spa and Gloucester have direct trains to London Paddington, Birmingham, Bristol and Cardiff. The M5 runs north to south through the county, and the A40 and A417 lead into the Cotswolds. Country venues are easiest by car, and rural taxis are limited, so book them ahead.

For Christmas 2026, Cheltenham's Christmas market fills the Promenade from 10 to 23 December, the racecourse holds its Christmas meeting on 11 and 12 December, and Westonbirt Arboretum near Tetbury lights up its woodland trail on selected evenings from late November. In recent years Gloucester Quays has hosted a Victorian Christmas market.

Yes. Plenty of the county's party venues are hotels, from Cheltenham's town-centre hotels to Cotswold manors and resorts, so guests can stay where they celebrate. Ask the venue about a room rate when you get in touch.

For the popular Friday and Saturday nights in December, it's worth enquiring as early as you can. If your dates are flexible, a weekday party, a festive lunch or a January party may give you better value and more choice.
