Really enjoyable FREE exhibition with a delightful HUGE guy on bag search, the gallery is small but really good to visitFull review by Hoppityskip
Does anyone know if Margate station has storage space or lockers for medium sized cases ? I do not want to drag it around the gallery.
A:
If you use the lockers for luggage, can you leave and come back later to collect it. Im arriving earlier today but got to teenagers with me that want to go to the beach.
Am I right in thinking that you are closed on Saturdays? Seems a bit strange as this is the day that most people, ourselves included, have the time to come down & visit.

For future reference for anyone in 2019 wanting to know: I visited yesterday and had a cabin sized suitcase with me. I didn't think my suitcase would fit but it did with room left for a few carrier bags I had also. I paid £1 at the cash desk for a token (you get to keep this so if you return again, you don't need to pay for a locker again) We were also allowed to leave our bags in the lockers whilst we went off and did other things at Margate which was so great as it was really hot and the idea of lugging around a suitcase was not what I had in mind for a weekend by the sea!
