- Claire
Very convenient and excellent instructions as to where to find the location. Would definitely recommend and will use again. Peace of mind knowing our luggage was safe while we were in manchester with quick access to the city centre from both tram and train.
- Nicole
I received a locker number and code but the lockers were not visible when I entered the Stashpoint. However, when I asked the staff were very friendly and helpful, and I was able to store and later retrieve my luggage very easily. The locker seemed very secure and functioned well and gave the impression of being quite new and well-maintained.
- Miles
Very convenient location and good sized locker for storing all our stuff for a few hours. Would definitely recommend and will use again if needed.
- Joshua
I have only ever picked premier inns before but this was a really good location. They are personal lockers which are unlocked with a code and they have plenty of space - I could fit a massive suitcase and backpack with room to spare. Also great location next to Piccadilly and great price too
- Jamie
Quick and straightforward drop off and pickup of our bags. Convenient location close to Piccadilly station.
- JOANNA
This drop off point which was a hotel, the people were SUUUUUPER friendly and helpful, over and beyond the service we had paid for. Also, it really was just a 5-minute walk from the Manchester train station, they let us use their bathroom facilities, which was a bonus, and was a good starting point to go explore the city. Definitely recommend!!!
- Olivia
Very central and convenient. Near Central Library, the art gallery and the Bridgewater Hall as mentioned above.

Storage and bag rules at the museum
The Museum of Science and Industry sits in Manchester's Castlefield area.
If you're planning a visit, don't count on leaving a suitcase there: the museum has no locker facilities at all, and the limited storage cages for coats and bags operate on a first-come-first-served basis, so a space isn't guaranteed. You should also expect a bag search on entry, since the museum reserves the right to check any bags or clothing and may refuse admission if you decline.
Booking ahead is particularly wise on Mondays and Sundays, and in May and November, when Stasher drop-offs around the museum are busiest. Plan for about 90 minutes to see the museum itself.
The museum is open daily from 10.00 to 17.00, closing only on 24–26 December and 1 January. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag per day at 20+ locations near Museum of Science and Industry.

Getting to the museum with luggage
The nearest Metrolink tram stop is Deansgate-Castlefield, a 10-minute walk from the museum, and the adjacent Deansgate railway station serves the same Castlefield area. If you're heading to the airport afterward, Manchester Victoria Station runs direct trains there via TransPennine Express and Northern, so having a bag in tow is manageable but slows you down on the connecting tram and walk.
Note that the Castlefield Viaduct does not allow large luggage such as suitcases for safety reasons.
Nearby sights and their own bag rules
Manchester Art Gallery is a short tram ride away via St Peter's Square or Market Street, and it's free to visit Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 5pm. It has no lockers, but you're welcome to carry suitcases or hand luggage with you as you browse, which at least beats being turned away.
The National Football Museum is more structured: its cloakroom charges £4 per bag and £2 per coat, and the museum is open daily from 10am to 5pm with last admission at 4pm, so you can drop items there if you don't mind the fee.
There's no official left-luggage facility provided by the Northern Quarter neighbourhood itself, though the Market Street and Shudehill tram stops, plus Manchester Piccadilly and Victoria stations, are its closest public transport access.
Manchester Arndale is open Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 8:00pm, Saturday from 9:00am to 8:00pm, and Sunday from 11:30am to 5:30pm. The most popular drop-off time booked with Stasher around the Museum of Science and Industry is 09:00–12:00, so allow extra time if you arrive then.
