Visitors can collect the Oatlands fob key from participating High Street businesses (listed below) who display the ‘Oatlands Key’ sign. A deposit is required at the time of obtaining the key, which is fully refundable on return.

The fob key allows visitors to unlock each building that has been fitted with an electronic card reader.
