In the news recently they have mentioned that security at venues, concerts and festivals have become stricter in terms of the size of bags that they allow in. Right now, venues like Wembley, The O2, Principality Stadium, AO Arena, and Murrayfield Stadium are all implementing that no bag larger than an a4 sheet of paper it to be permitted into the venue. 

For perspective, an A4 sheet of paper is around 21cm x 29.7cm (or 8.3 x 11.7 inches). And our long-handled Tote Bags are 38cm x 43cm (or 16.93 x 14.96 inches). 

If you are in need of a bag that can fit these measurements, then look no further. Here is a list of products from our website that meet these requirements. 

Short Handled Goody Bag 21cmx26cm (SH-2126-CT) 

The closest handled product we have to a4 size. This Mini–Tote Bag Available in various colours such as Black, White, Red, Yellow and Natural. These bags will be great to take in with you.  

Gusseted Short Handled Goody Bag 21cmx26cm (SG-2126-CT) 

Like the last one, but with more room! This Mini-Tote Bag is like the one mentioned previously but with a 6cm gusset. Giving you a bit more space for your necessities.

 

Double Drawstring 20cmx28cm Bags (DS-2028-CT)

This is the closet product I could find on our website to an a4 piece of paper size. Now I know it does not include a handle, however you can loop the drawstrings through your hand and hold it that way. Available in a variety of colours, and the option to personalise, you can customise this bag to a specific concert you’re attending.  

Drawstring 20cmx24cm Bags (DS-2024-CT) 

In similar ways to the 20x28cm double drawstring bag, this bag is available in 24 colours you can purchase multiple and customise each to a specific show or concert you are seeing. And after the event you could use this bag to store special keepsakes from the event, like the friendship bracelets you might have made, or the physical ticket (if you’re fortunate to get one!).

Cross Body Bottle Bags (CB-1520) 

Another bag to consider that is smaller than an a4 sheet of paper is our Cross Body Bottle Bag. This bag that you can wear across your body is the great size to fit your phone, keys and cards. The smaller size is great to ensure you only carry the absolutely essentials that you need. 

Bum Bags (BB-3216)

Slightly out of the measurements of an a4 piece of paper is our 8oz cotton canvas bum bag. However, we think you may be able to get away with 😉. When I attend concerts or sporting events this is the bag I take with me, and I have not had a problem with gaining entry. The bum bag can fasten around your waist or across your body to keep your valuables in reach and close to your person while freeing up your hands to dance and cheer.
