Luggage storage and bag rules at O2 Academy Bournemouth

O2 Academy Bournemouth is a live music and comedy venue that draws crowds from across the south coast, so plenty of ticket-holders arrive with more than they'll be allowed to carry through the door.

The venue has no on-site luggage storage, and its door policy is firm: only one small bag per person, no larger than A4 size (29.7cm x 21cm x 15cm), is permitted inside, with bag checks carried out on arrival. Large suitcases and anything larger than A4 simply won't get past the entrance.

The venue does provide a cloakroom for personal items, which is separate from luggage storage, but space is limited and guests are advised to travel light rather than count on it.

Anything deemed offensive or a risk to public safety is also out, so give the official prohibited items list a quick check before setting off. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag per day at 7 locations near O2 Academy Bournemouth.

Getting to the venue with luggage

O2 Academy Bournemouth sits in the Boscombe area of Bournemouth, with Pokesdown station the closest rail stop at roughly 1,100 metres away. Bournemouth Station is about 2,000 metres from the venue, but it has no luggage storage facilities of its own, so don't plan on leaving a suitcase there before the show. The m2 bus runs directly from Bournemouth to the venue, which helps if you're coming straight from the town centre with bags in tow.

Inside the venue: food, drink and event timings

You can't bring your own food or drink — chewing gum included — into O2 Academy Bournemouth, though ticket-holders will find bars, snack food and free drinking water once inside. If a medical need means you have to carry outside food or drink, contact the venue in advance to arrange an exemption. Door times vary by event and are listed on each event's page and on your ticket, while the typical curfew is 11pm.
