Factory Tours

All of the products that you see on this website are hand cut and made in our traditional Somerset workshop, here in Street.

As there aren’t many factories still manufacturing to our skill level in the UK, our factory tours are always very popular.

We can take groups of up to approx. 15 people at a time.

Please note, whilst we do have a lift we do not have wheelchair access throughout various areas of the property/workshop.

During the tour, you will learn a little about the heritage of the company, dating back to our founding roots in the mid-1800s right through to the present day.

You will also see all aspects of the factory, learning about the skins we use and the manufacturing methods we employ. 

You will enjoy a walkthrough on the factory floor, with an opportunity to engage with the OB team. 

Every day the production changes, so we cannot guarantee what will be going through the manufacturing workshop at any time, however, it is always interesting.

Sorry, but we cannot accommodate children under the age of 12, as this is a working factory and machinery is always in operation. Tours are strictly by appointment only, Tuesday, or Wednesday at 11 a.m. or 2 p.m.

Please contact us at [email protected] or Telephone 01458 442858 to check our calendar.
