Check venue bag arrangements before a day out

A day bag that suits your journey may not suit the venue. Check entry and storage separately before deciding what to carry.

1. Find the venue's current visitor information for your event or exhibition. Look for bag size, wheeled luggage, restricted items and any event-specific instructions; use the exact measurements of your packed bag if limits are stated.
2. Check whether storage exists, what it accepts, whether it costs extra and when collection closes. A cloakroom listing does not necessarily mean every bag can be stored or that space is reserved.
3. Reduce the bag to what you need inside and arrange another confirmed location for items the venue cannot accept. Keep the claim ticket and set a collection reminder if you use storage.

Recheck if your itinerary includes several venues. Meeting one site's conditions does not establish that the same bag will work at the next stop.
