Oaklands is a hamlet in the county of Hertfordshire. The Oaklands area is home to Oaklands College – a large general further education college which has campuses and training facilities in St. Albans, Borehamwood, and Welwyn Garden City. Rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, the college provides a wide variety of courses, ranging from Functional Skills to Apprenticeships and Foundation Degrees, on a full- and part-time basis, providing learning and training to 10,000 students.
The college also provides the use of its facilities to the local community, who aren’t at the college to study, but who can make use of the specialist facilities and equipment available. There is a riding school, providing lessons and competitions for the keen equestrian, a dog grooming salon, beauty salon, childcare nursery, and meeting rooms and sports facilities available to hire.
If you’re part of a football, hockey or rugby team, why not hire a van/minibus from St. Albans Car and Van Hire, and try out the pitches at the college for somewhere new to train. Or why not get a group together for a bit of pampering at the beauty salon. With their wide variety of event spaces, the college is also ideal for wedding receptions, family occasions, corporate team building events, and meetings – just hire a van/minibus from St. Albans Car and Van Hire, so your whole group can arrive and use the facilities together.
Not far away, are the Chiltern Hills – a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – and you could use your group visit to explore the wonderful, picturesque countryside which is in proximity to the area of Oaklands. Hertfordshire has nearly two thirds of its rural area designated as green belt, so there’s always a place to find some peace and tranquillity amongst this beautiful area.
