Barbican Centre bag policy and official cloakrooms

Bags larger than an A4 sheet must be checked at the Barbican Centre. Its free cloakroom is on the Stalls floor, although the Centre suggests a voluntary £2 donation.

The cloakroom opens 90 minutes before an event and shuts 30 minutes after the performance finishes, so it is tied to performance times rather than available for all-day left luggage in Barbican. For oversized bags or storage beyond those hours, Stasher has no bag size or weight limits.
