Luggage storage and bag rules at the Palace Theatre

The Palace Theatre sits on Oxford Street in central Manchester, a working theatre that runs security and bag checks on entry. The venue advises visitors to keep bags small where possible. There is a cloakroom, but it's meant for coats and small bags rather than anything you'd be wheeling behind you.

The theatre also offers guided tours that give access to its Grade II listed auditorium and restricted areas, including backstage spaces subject to availability. Tours run between 1 hour 15 minutes and 1 hour 45 minutes, and tickets must be booked in advance because they aren't sold at the door. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag per day at 20+ locations near the Palace Theatre.

Getting to the theatre with luggage

Several bus routes run straight down Oxford Street and stop outside, including the 50, 130, 191, and 197. Other nearby bus routes include the 1, 111, 192, 219, and 250.

Nearby storage and other places to visit

Manchester Piccadilly Station has its own left-luggage facility open every day from 08:00 to 21:00, which is one official option if you're coming in from the airport or heading out later. It has direct train links to Manchester Airport every 10 minutes, 7 days a week.

Manchester Art Gallery has no lockers, but visitors are welcome to carry suitcases or hand luggage with them while inside. It's free and open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 5pm, which makes it a low-pressure stop if you're happy to keep your bag with you.

The National Football Museum does offer a cloakroom, charging £4 per bag and £2 per coat, so it's a workable drop for smaller items while you explore. It's open daily from 10am to 5pm with last admission at 4pm.

The Northern Quarter itself has no official luggage storage of its own, though you can reach it easily from Market Street or Shudehill tram stops, or from Piccadilly and Manchester Victoria Station.
