The whole experience was excellent. Within a minute of going into the hotel a member of staff had taken the bag, and within a minute of going back to pick it up it was in my hand. Given I had very tight travelling schedules - taking the last metro of the evening to Newcastle airport for a flight - I needed reliability and Stasher and Premier Inn provided it!

Sunderland at a glance
Plenty of visitors arrive in Sunderland with hours to spare before a train, a show, or a flight out of Newcastle, and a rental or Airbnb won't hold a bag for them.
Sunderland's main draws cluster near the station, but the attractions themselves rarely accept anything larger than an A4 bag and none offer storage, so luggage needs sorting before you go in. The Metro and station are fully accessible and run frequent airport connections. Sunderland sits on the North Sea coast at the mouth of the River Wear in Tyne and Wear. Direct Grand Central trains from Sunderland station run to London King's Cross. A direct Tyne and Wear Metro service links Sunderland station to Newcastle Airport in about an hour. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag a day.

Exploring Sunderland with bags
Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens is a two-minute walk from the station, so it's an easy first stop if you're passing through with time on your hands. It is approximately a 20-minute walk from Sunderland station. Sunderland Empire theatre is within a 10-minute walk of both Sunderland and Park Lane Metro stations.
Bag rules at Sunderland attractions
The Point Sunderland doesn't allow suitcases or anything larger than A4 size inside. Sunderland Greyhound Stadium has the same A4 limit and can't store items for customers. Sunderland Empire theatre restricts bags to A4 size or smaller and bars large luggage, rucksacks, and suitcases. The Spotlight: Washington Open Exhibition 2026 runs at the Arts Centre Washington from 12 November 2026 to 16 January 2027. Check the venue's own bag policy before heading out, since none of the attractions above offer somewhere to leave a larger bag while you're inside.
