Cloakrooms

As part of the Barbican Centre's security measures restrictions on bags inside the venue have been put into place. Only one, reasonably-sized, handbag per person may be taken inside the auditorium and all bags may be searched. You may find it easier to avoid bringing bags no larger than 32cm L x 18cm W x 22cm H on your next visit.
