Luggage storage in Chichester

Chichester’s compact centre makes it tempting to keep your bags with you, but several of its venues simply have nowhere to put them.

The pattern across the city is mixed: Chichester Festival Theatre offers free cloakrooms during performances, while The Novium Museum and The Nest have no storage at all, and Pallant House Gallery requires large bags to be placed in its lockers. Gatwick-bound travellers should also note the airport station sits at the South Terminal, with a free shuttle to the North. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag per day.

Some top Stasher locations in Chichester include:

• Hotel reception, 14-minute walk from Chichester · rated 5/5 (400+ reviews)

Nearby points are hosted by hotel receptions. Every booking comes with the Stasher Guarantee, which protects your bags up to £10,000. Stasher storage in Chichester can be booked through the website or app.

Arriving and leaving Chichester with luggage

Trains from Chichester reach Gatwick Airport in about an hour, and the same direct service runs in the opposite direction. Gatwick's station sits at the South Terminal, with a free shuttle linking it to the North Terminal if your flight departs from there. If you're travelling by coach instead, Sussex Coaches can refuse luggage that's excessive, large or awkwardly shaped, so pack light for that leg.

Luggage rules at Chichester’s attractions and theatres

Pallant House Gallery can't take suitcases or other large items, but it does ask that big bags go into its lockers. The Novium Museum has no lockers or storage at all and recommends leaving large bags and coats at home before you visit. The Nest similarly has no cloakroom and no space for luggage or big bags.

Chichester Festival Theatre is the exception: it provides two free cloakrooms in the foyer for coats and small bags during performances. During the Light Experience at Chichester Cathedral, visitors are asked not to bring large items with them.

Getting around Chichester with your bags

Chichester Cathedral is roughly a 10-minute walk from the station. It is a 15-minute walk from Chichester’s train and bus stations. Chichester Festival Theatre is a 20-minute walk or a short 5-minute taxi ride from the station, so a taxi may be worth it if you're carrying bags for an evening performance.
