Beyoncé at London Tottenham Hotspur Stadium: full list of banned items and the bag policy
If last year was the summer of the Eras tour, this summer is definitely for the Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. We are mere days away from Beyoncé's return to London for a whopping six nights at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Queen Bey last graced London stages in 2023 for her Renaissance tour, and Cowboy Carter is set to be just as big and just as glam, although quite a bit more country. We've already revealed our predicted setlist and the seating plan, but before you even get into the venue you'll need to get past security.
🪩 Time Out's full guide to Beyoncé at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
🎶 The ultimate guide to Beyoncé in London: Cowboy Carter Tour timings, dates, set list and everything you need to know.
For obvious reasons, stadiums have pretty strict rules around bags and what you can have in them. Some stuff is common sense – best to leave your explosives and sharp objects at home – but what you might not know is that there is a specific size of bag you have stay within, sort of like boarding a plane except you won't get charged £80 if it's oversized, you'll just get turned away.
Here's everything you need to know about Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium's bag policy to make sure your Cowboy Carter experience goes smoothly.
What's the bag policy for the Cowboy Carter tour?
Each person is allowed one small, personal bag, which must be A4 or smaller. Certain exemptions can be made for medical equipment, but you'll have to let the stadium know ahead of time by filling in their bag exemption form, which you can find here.
Backpacks will likely be oversized. Instead, the venue recommends a clear carrier bag, a drawstring bag, or a laptop sleeve. On their website, Spurs do recommend their own club branded bags, but other brands are permitted too. You will also be allowed small clutches or handbags.
The stadium states that 'all permissible bags will be carefully searched… those choosing to bring a bag to the stadium, which meets the above criteria, should be aware that they will be delayed whilst their bag is searched by our security team'.
What size bag can I bring into the stadium?
A4, the maximum size of bag you can bring to the concert, is 21cm long and 30cm high. Your bag has to be this size without being folded, and any bags which do not adhere to policy can be confiscated and not returned.
Beyoncé Tottenham Hotspur Stadium banned items
As we mentioned before, anything sharp or explosive is generally a no-go. That said, there are a few banned items you might not have considered. Here is a non-exhaustive list of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium's prohibited items:

Beyoncé is still struggling to sell hundreds of tickets ahead of her first UK Cowboy Carter show at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium TONIGHT
Beyoncé is still struggling to sell hundreds of tickets ahead of her first UK Cowboy Carter show at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tonight. The singer, 43, is playing six nights in London this summer on June 5, 7, 10, 12, 14 and 16 - with the first kicking off this evening. But at the time of writing on Thursday there are still 539 free seats left in the stadium which holds around 62,000 people for concerts. Currently the cheapest seats available for tonight are £71 for obstructed view seats while the most expensive are $278 for seated in better areas. Her UK stint comes after ticket sales for the US part of her tour were also sluggish. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The ticket sales may reflect less interest in her country-tinged Cowboy Carter material compared to her dance-friendly Renaissance material. The singer–songwriter also may be struggling to get fans who saw her on her whirlwind Renaissance tour to come back just two years later, this time at even higher prices. Those prices - $200–$300 a ticket for some of the worst seats at her upcoming Chicago shows - may be also turning off fans. Over the past few months Beyoncé appeared to have drastically slashed prices at some of her shows in order to get fans to buy the unsold tickets. Some fans who saw her in LA were able to nab tickets as cheap as $35 before Ticketmaster's fees. It comes after Beyoncé insiders have lifted the lid on how she has become a record-breaking billionaire. The Houston-born superstar and her husband Jay-Z became music's first billionaire couple and are now worth around $3billion. And in a new interview those who have worked with her over the years have revealed how her work ethic that is on 'another level' and her attention to detail have been reflected in her impressive bank balance. Currently the cheapest seats available for tonight are £71 for obstructed view seats while the most expensive are $278 for seated in better areas Producer Larry Griffin Jr worked with the star on her 2011 album 4, told The Times Culture magazine: 'She knows exactly what she wants. It was one of the most intense weeks of my career.' She recorded a whopping 75 songs for 4 and had to narrow them down to just 16 for its release. In an example of her incredible work ethic, she hosted listening parties where family and radio people scored each song from one to five. Other insiders pointed out how the attention to detail on her current Cowboy Carter tour show 'another level' of planning and precision. Architect Ray Winkler helped design sets for two of her tours and said in the Times interview: 'The visual landscapes of her shows are just extraordinary.' Choreographer James Alsop worked with her for her song Run The World and added: 'She was involved in every aspect'. James explained how she rarely took breaks, eating and drinking as she rehearsed. Others who have worked with her also tell how she will watch tapes back of her shows to see how she can improve next time.

Eleven Barrack
✍️ Time Out Sydney never writes starred restaurant and bar reviews from hosted experiences – Time Out covers restaurant and bar bills, and anonymously reviews, so that readers can trust our critique. Find out more, here. Being at Eleven Barrack feels like Christmas. Every dish or drink that lands on our table is like a gift – a perfectly presented package that, when unwrapped, contains a delightful treasure that's a little unexpected. A good surprise. Take the spanner crab and fish pie. It's a picture-perfect golden-crusted pot pie in a little cast-iron pot, with a pastry crab on top and a shellfish bisque served on the side in a classic silver gravy boat. The pie pastry is almost too flawless to crack open, but when we do, we're rewarded with a well-seasoned, creamy filling with finely chopped pieces of spanner crab, fish and spinach. It's divine just as it is, but then you pour in the bisque, and the dish goes from delicious to unforgettable. The buttery pastry, tender seafood, creamy white sauce and that punchy, sea-flavoured sauce (the colour of crab shell) is like a pot of comfort food with a luxury upgrade. It's arguable Sydney didn't need another steak and seafood grill, but it did need this one. Just like Santa Claus, the Bentley Group's co-owners Brent Savage (chef) and Nick Hildebrandt (sommelier) – who've also recently gifted us treats like King Clarence, Brasserie 1930 and a newly flavoured Monopole – have delivered yet again (in collaboration with group head chef Aiden Stevens and Niro Richards). I'm obviously a fan of the food here (this is not my first visit), but the décor is what really sets this place apart from other grand New York or Parisian-style diners here in Sydney. It's on Barrack Street, in the old, high-ceilinged Savings Bank of NSW building. And while they have indeed leaned into the grandness and scale of the classic old building, there's nothing traditional or fuddy-duddy about the room's attention-grabbing design touches. One of the room's central columns is wrapped in metallic purple. There are big, eccentric, custom-made light shades (some bright orange, some white) that dangle dramatically from the ceiling. There's a gold-mirrored, oval-shaped, er, I'm not sure what to call it – decoration – hanging from the ceiling above my table. And the carpet is tartan, like the Christmas wrap my grandpa used to use. Yes, the room is also festive. I order a gin Martini, and it arrives via a trolley, poured frosty and theatrically at our table. (The service is as classy as it is in all of the Bentley Group venues.) The menu is extensive, so while it heroes steak and fish dishes, there is also a section for pastas, and a fun selection of appetisers, starters, playful salads, a bread section, cheeses and desserts. Narrowing down what to order is no easy feat. As well as the crab and fish pie, we order a steak, the 250g black opal wagyu rump cap, which comes served sliced – cooked perfectly medium rare, as ordered, charred on the outside – on a bed of rich, dark jus. It pairs well with the celebratory bottle of bubbles we share – the Louis de Grenelle BIO (certified organic) Crémant de Loire Brut, which is zippy and refreshing, with a dry, clean finish but enough richness to stand up to the creamy seafood pie. (And what are we celebrating? Just being in a beautiful setting and eating great food!) The salads we order also provide freshness and acidity. The salted zucchini with parmesan, caperberries, parsley and mint is bright, briny and herbaceous; and the celeriac with sheep's milk feta, black barley and witlof is earthy and nutty. The potatoes need their own paragraph. A baked potato has been cut in two, then the soft potato filling has been removed from the shells, mashed together with sour cream, mustard and pancetta, then placed back into the crispy, fried potato skins. A masterpiece. Last time I was here I had the coal-roasted Murray cod fillets served in the most vivid, moreish green garlic sauce, and I wish we had room to order it again. But with the pie and the steak, salads and potatoes, we didn't even need appetisers or starters this time around. If we did, I would have gone for the fried ricotta dumplings with whipped cod's roe or the eggplant 'parfait' on sourdough toast. The slice of key lime pie is a must-order for dessert (even if you think you don't have room). The lime curd filling is bright and citrusy; it's glazed with ginger, then topped with a generous piping of light coconut curd and little pops of finger lime jewels. It's truly (sub)lime. Just like Christmas, when the experience of dining at Eleven Barrack comes to an end, I'm already counting down the days until I can unwrap it all over again. Thankfully I don't have to wait a whole year.
