Oscott College
Chester Road, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, B73 5AA
Oscott College has been at its present location since 1838 and was decorated by the eminent Victorian architect, Augustus Welby Pugin. As a residential facility, the College is private property and only open to the public at limited times throughout the year.
The tour will take visitors around the public ground floor areas of the college, including the chapel, exhibition hall, library and dining rooms.
Historic architectural plans of the building and incomplete schemes will be exhibited alongside the general display of catholic material in the exhibition hall as part of this year's event.

The college is accessible to those using mobility aids. It should be noted that the chapel has open grillwork and those using walking sticks are advised to take care when walking through the space. There is a step to the upper section of the chapel also and no ramp at this time; this does not prohibit visitors from seeing anything within the space.
