Storage and bag rules at Murrayfield Stadium

Heading to Murrayfield with a suitcase or large rucksack means sorting your bag before you reach the turnstiles, since match-day rules won't let it through and there's nowhere inside to leave it.

Murrayfield itself has no on-site storage. Several nearby Edinburgh sights also turn away suitcases or larger bags: Edinburgh Castle won't allow suitcases or rucksacks over 30L inside, and it can't store them for you. The Edinburgh Corn Exchange has a cloakroom for a small fee per item, so you don't need to arrive empty-handed at every stop on your route. Murrayfield Stadium is the home of Scottish Rugby and the Scotland national rugby union team. Beyond rugby, the stadium also hosts major concerts and other sporting events. Suitcases and bags larger than A4 (21cm x 30cm) are not allowed inside unless needed for medical or childcare purposes. Sealed plastic bottles of water or soft drinks up to 500ml are allowed, but cans are not. Bag rules can change for third-party events, so check the specific event FAQs before you go.
