We used as a stop on the Dales Way and Sherpa Van dropped our bag here. They kept in reception (secure behind the counter). The location is a 10 minute walk from the rail station and pretty central.
- Colin
Drop off and pickup were very straightforward and the location was a short walk from the train station. Our cases were stored behind a locked door so were safe.

Luggage storage in Kendal
Kendal's holiday rentals rarely come with somewhere to leave luggage after checkout, and a late train can leave you with hours to fill. Stasher's local shops offer a practical alternative to the museum's storage space.
The town's museum has a place to leave bags while you look round, though the festival site has none, and other attractions are a decent walk from the station, so it helps to know your options before setting off. Kendal sits within the Westmorland and Furness unitary authority area. Visitors often use the town as a gateway to the southern Lake District. People come for the shopping as well as the heritage and arts scene. The town lies just outside the Lake District National Park boundary. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag per day.
Some top Stasher locations in Kendal include:
- Hotel reception, 2 min walk from Kendal station · rated 5/5 (300+ reviews)

Arriving and leaving Kendal with luggage
Visitors reach Kendal via the West Coast Main Line, alighting at nearby Oxenholme station before taking a short connecting train or bus into town. Kendal station itself has step-free access to all platforms, though there are no lifts. The station serves as a departure point for trains to Manchester Airport and Windermere, with the fastest run to the airport taking 1 hour and 40 minutes. If you're using The Extra Mile bus service, be aware that Westmorland and Furness Council reserves the right to refuse large, unsuitable, or awkward packages and excessive personal hand luggage.
Bag storage and rules at Kendal's attractions
Kendal Museum provides space for visitors to store bags, buggies, and wheelchairs during their visit. Kendal Calling festival, by contrast, does not provide any bag storage facilities on site, so plan around that if you're heading to the festival. If you'd rather store bags with Stasher, bookings around Kendal are busiest on Mondays and Fridays and in May and August, and most drop-offs are booked between 10:00 and 13:00, so book ahead and allow a little extra time at those times.
Exploring Kendal with bags
The town's best-known attractions include the Brewery Arts centre, the historic Kendal Castle ruins, Abbot Hall Art Gallery, and the Quaker Tapestry Museum. The Quaker Tapestry Museum is a two-minute walk from the bus station and a six-minute walk from the train station, which makes it an easy stop if you're managing bags on foot.
Abbot Hall Art Gallery sits one mile from Kendal station, so it's worth factoring that walk in if you're carrying anything heavy.
