Luggage storage at Manchester Arndale

Manchester Arndale sits just off Market Street in Manchester city centre, and Stasher gives you somewhere to leave your bags nearby. If you're arriving by train, Piccadilly Station is a 10 to 12-minute walk away through Piccadilly Gardens — manageable with a small case, but a long drag with anything heavy. The Northern Quarter around the shopping centre has no official luggage storage or left-luggage facility of its own.

Piccadilly Station's left luggage desk is open every day from 08:00 to 21:00, which works if your arrival or departure falls within those hours.

Stasher bookings around Manchester Arndale are busiest at weekends and in May and November, so it's worth booking ahead if you're visiting during those periods rather than assuming a spot will be free on the day.

Getting to Manchester Arndale with luggage

The easiest approach by tram is the Market Street Metrolink stop, which sits directly outside the southern entrance and takes about a minute to reach the doors. If you're travelling with larger luggage, the step-free access into the centre via double-width automatic doors makes that short walk straightforward. Shudehill Interchange, which serves as both a tram and bus station, is a 3-minute walk from the north entrance of Manchester Arndale. For mainline rail, Manchester Victoria Station is the closest option at just a 2-minute walk away — quicker than Piccadilly Station if you can route your train through there instead.

Nearby sights and their bag rules

Manchester Art Gallery is easiest to reach via its nearest Metrolink stops, St Peter's Square or Market Street, and Market Street is a 1-minute walk from Manchester Arndale. The gallery has no lockers for storing anything, but you're welcome to carry suitcases or hand luggage with you as you look around, which is worth knowing before you plan a visit with a full bag.

The National Football Museum is open daily from 10am to 5pm, with last admission at 4pm. It does offer a cloakroom where visitors can leave bags and coats for £4 per bag and £2 per coat, so you can manage smaller items there without carrying everything through the exhibits. In the Northern Quarter, Mackie Mayor is a notable attraction, a food hall housed in a Grade II-listed former market building.

Entry to the Printworks complex itself is free, though individual venues inside charge their own prices, so you won't pay just to walk through with your bags. For the Northern Quarter, the closest public transport access includes Market Street and Shudehill Metrolink tram stops, plus Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Victoria Station train stations.
