Harry Styles Wembley bag policy: Full list of banned items and luggage rules explained

Harry Styles is set to begin his record-breaking 12-night residency at Wembley Stadium on Friday as the UK leg of his Together, Together World Tour arrives in London.

The former One Direction star announced the tour in January ahead of the release of his latest album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., before kicking things off in Amsterdam.

Now, Styles is heading home to play a dozen dates in the capital, where he is expected to perform to more than one million fans across the run.

Country music icon Shania Twain will join him as support.

If you've managed to secure one of the hottest tickets of the summer, you'll want to make sure you're prepared before heading to Wembley.

From bag restrictions to prohibited items and luggage storage options, here's everything you need to know before arriving at the stadium:

What is Wembley Stadium's bag policy?

Like most major UK stadiums and arenas, Wembley operates a strict small-bag policy. Each ticket holder is permitted one bag no larger than:

  • Height: 297mm (11.7in)
  • Width: 210mm (8.27in)
  • Depth: 210mm (8.27in)

In short, your bag should be roughly A4-sized or smaller.

There are limited exceptions.

Guests requiring larger bags for medical reasons should contact Wembley in advance, while merchandise purchased outside the venue can be brought in provided it remains sealed until after entry.

Does Wembley have a bag drop?

No. Wembley Stadium does not operate an official cloakroom or luggage storage facility.

Anyone arriving with a bag larger than the permitted size will be refused entry, so fans are advised to travel light where possible.

For those who do need storage, several independent luggage facilities operate around Wembley Park.

One of the most popular is located on South Way near the Ibis Hotel, just a short walk from the stadium.

What items are banned inside Wembley Stadium?

Alongside the standard list of prohibited items such as weapons, explosives and fireworks, Wembley also restricts a number of everyday items.

Fans will not be permitted to bring:

  • Bags larger than A4 size (unless medically exempt)
  • Food and drink
  • Alcohol
  • Glass, metal or hard plastic bottles
  • Perfume bottles
  • Flasks and cans
  • Selfie sticks
  • Laptops and tablets
  • Professional cameras and large recording equipment
  • Drones
  • Laser pointers
  • Megaphones and vuvuzelas
  • Large umbrellas
  • Skateboards and scooters
  • Motorbike helmets
  • Flag poles longer than one metre
  • Posters larger than A3
  • Hampers and cool boxes
  • Animals (except assistance dogs)

Anyone attempting to bring prohibited items into the stadium may have them confiscated or be denied entry.

With lengthy queues expected across Styles' 12-night Wembley run, arriving early and travelling as lightly as possible is likely to make for a far smoother start to the evening.
