Bag rules and cloakroom at O2 Institute Birmingham

Suitcases and large bags are not allowed inside O2 Institute Birmingham, and visitors are permitted only one small bag no larger than A4 size (29.7cm x 21cm x 15cm). Security measures including bag checks are in place upon arrival, and visitors may be searched. The venue provides its own cloakroom, though its size limits still rule out anything you'd travel with overnight.

It's also worth knowing you can't bring your own bottles, cans, alcohol, or food inside. The venue sits just over half a mile from Birmingham New Street station, and Moor Street station is within a 10-minute walk, so both are realistic drop-off points before a show.
