Bag rules and storage at O2 Academy Oxford

O2 Academy Oxford sits in a historic Edwardian building on Cowley Road, drawing crowds for live music and club nights, but it doesn't allow suitcases or large bags inside.

If you're heading to a gig, leave your suitcase at home: the venue doesn't allow suitcases or large bags, including rucksacks, past the door. Each person can bring just one small bag no bigger than A4 size (29.7cm x 21cm x 15cm), and there's no on-site storage for anything larger.

There's a cloakroom in the ground-level foyer at an accessible height, with staff on hand to help if you need assistance using it. Expect a security search and bag check on arrival, though there's no clear-bag rule to worry about.

Food, bottles, cans and alcohol are all refused at the entrance, so leave any picnic supplies in the bag you're storing before you arrive. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag per day at 9 locations near O2 Academy Oxford.
