Luggage storage across Nottingham

Lots of visitors to Nottingham arrive by train for a gig or a show, then find the venue won’t take their bag and there’s nowhere obvious to leave it before doors open.

Several attractions and venues across the city have no cloakroom or storage of their own, and both the tram and bus networks have their own luggage rules, so sorting your bag out before you head in saves hassle. Many visitors come to Nottingham specifically because of its Robin Hood connections. If you are heading to a show at the Motorpoint Arena Nottingham, the train station is only about a ten-minute walk away. The Lace Market tram stop is about five minutes on foot from Motorpoint Arena Nottingham. The Theatre Royal and Royal Concert Hall are about a 10-minute tram journey from Nottingham Station using the Royal Centre stop. A direct tram service links Nottingham Station with the University of Nottingham's University Park campus, with stops at Queen's Medical Centre and the University of Nottingham.

Attractions and venues: bag rules and storage

Motorpoint Arena Nottingham bars bags over 35cm x 40cm x 19cm and has no lockers or cloakroom, so anything bigger has to stay elsewhere before you line up. The Squire Performing Arts Centre won't let rucksacks or large bags into the auditorium, and anything you bring inside is kept at your own risk.

Nottingham Playhouse has no cloakroom and asks visitors not to arrive with large bags or luggage at all. The National Justice Museum and the City of Caves also lack secure storage for large luggage, leaving nearby alternatives as the only real options before you enter.

Getting around Nottingham with luggage

Nottingham City Transport bus drivers can turn away any luggage they judge unsuitable, so a bulky suitcase may not travel with you. Nottingham Express Transit restricts luggage to items you can carry yourself, bans anything over 2 metres, and requires nothing dangerous or obstructive, though the low-level platforms at least remove any step up with a wheeled bag. The city itself is a major East Midlands business centre, and events like the Nottingham Comedy Festival in autumn 2026 bring extra visitors through its venues, which makes knowing the bag rules in advance worth the effort.
