Hi, I visited Alton towers last Sunday, with my partner and daughter, as we had done a Picknick we tried to used one of the lockerer’s by the main entrance, the machine took my card details and charge me £10, a I wanted the large locker, I followed the instructions, but I got stuck, so I didn’t bother, expecting the card payment to cancel, I checked my account Wednesday and the payment went through, I’m am not happy about it, I have looked to see who I need to call or email, but this is the only site i’v found, so could you point me in the right direction please.
Hi Chris, sorry to hear that you’ve not had a good experience with the lockers at Alton Towers recently. We at Topdogdays are independent of Alton Towers so probably best contacting them directly. You can contact Alton Towers directly on 01538 704096. All the best with it, Liz

Hi Donna, the lockers at Alton Towers theme park are really meant for day guests to allow them to store personal belongings, food and drink. If you are staying at the hotel, they will have luggage facilities available to you. Just to clarify, we at Topdogdays, are independent of Alton Towers, (we simply let you know where the deals can be found), enjoy your trip, Liz
Bringing my children for scarefest. Due to weather being quite mild during day didn’t want to carry coats around all day. Are the lockers available or do we go to Help Desk??
Hi Jackie, in previous years that have been plenty of lockers at Alton Towers although there have been renovations going on that closed this service earlier in the season. If the lockers remain unavailable, pop to guest services which will have storage facilities available.
How big are the lockers?
Hi Sharon, the lockers at Alton Towers are large enough to store a small rucksack, picnic cool bag or handbag but not large enough to be used for the storage of luggage. Hope that helps? Liz
Soooooo. IF WE STAY AT HOTEL COS WE HAVE TO TRAVEL 4 SIX HOURS TO GET THERE. WHERE ON EARTH R WE SUPPOSED TO PUT OUR STUFF. WE CANT AFFORD 2 NIGHTS JUST SO WE CAN STORE OUR STUFF FOR THE NEXT DAY???
Very useful site. I hadn’t realise there were lockers. Will definitely be using.
Hi Nicci, thanks for the positive feedback – always good to hear:) Yes, there are lockers all around the park and generally under-used so easy to locate a free locker.
Do the lockers require cash or can I use Credit/Debit card?
Hi Gary, Alton Towers lockers take coins or credit cards but don’t accept notes.
