Situated on the waterside at the heart of The Quays, The Lowry is a stunning, award winning building housing two vibrant theatres, a studio space, relaxing art galleries, cafés, bars, a restaurant, souvenir gift shop and Salford’s Tourist Information Centre. With a huge variety of performances, The Lowry's Lyric and Quays Theatres offer a wealth of fabulous entertainment, including West End musicals, the very best in drama, live bands, famous comedians, plus world class dance and opera.Gallery entry is free and you can enjoy the work of one of the nation's favourite artists, LS Lowry, in changing exhibitions of his work which we hope will offer some surprises. At the same time, experience work by artists of local, national and international renown to compliment our Lowry exhibitions. There's always something new and refreshing to see in our galleries.With family fun throughout the building, guided tours, the Meet Mr Lowry film, plus participatory activity for all ages, The Lowry is a great day out.

First of all, I have been to a lot of venues and theatres and this is one of my favourite in the country. Let me tell you why... The Lowry is run by a large group of volunteers who give countless hours to support the venue, that makes a difference - they want to be there and the customer experience shows. The theatre is a registered charity with an aim to bring the best performances to a wide group of people, some of whom would not normally experience theatre. The Lowry is split into the Lyric Theatre (large touring production space), the Quays Theatre (much smaller intimate theatre space), Lowry exhibition, restaurant, bars, coffee shop and gallery space. The Lyric theatre is a large 3 tier space, with some of the most accessible and comfortable spaces in any theatres in the UK I have ever been in. As the theatre was custom designed for sound, the sound performance is always crystal clear and a joy for any type of performance. This is the largest theatre outside of London and holds up to 1,730 seats in a tiered curve so there is space for everyone to see - much better than the Palace or Opera House for viewing space and comfort. The Quays is a smaller, four tier with smaller, stool spaces in the tiers around the sides of the smaller stage and is great for smaller plays, intimate talks and new material and can hold up to 440 people. The venue is extremely accessible with sloped walkways, lifts and clear descriptions everywhere. This is probably one of the best theatre spaces in the UK and holds such a diverse range of musical theatre, concerts, dance, drama, new plays and shows and has a yearly behind the scenes day which if you get a chance, you absolutely must, it's amazing!

Visit the Quays, Greater Manchester's stunning waterfront destination, and discover culture, history, heritage, shopping and sport within just one square mile. With an award-winning theatre, gallery and museum, discount shopping, stunning architecture, historical tours, cruises and sport, the Quays has everything you need for a great day out. When when the sun goes down, the quayside is beautifully lit, making it the ideal backdrop for an evening stroll, followed by dinner and drinks in one of the many bars and restaurants - plus the excellent accommodation on offer provides the perfect reason to turn your day visit into a short break. There is also a year-round programme of events, including food markets and public outdoor art installations.

I live nearby, and it's always nice to have a wander around the area, there's lot to see, and some great places to eat and drink at(when they're open!), especially in the summer or on a crisp winters day. The only disappointment is The Lowry Outlet Mall, they really need to do something with this place, the amount of empty retail units makes me wonder how it affords to keep trading, I assume it's the food outlets that bring in the money. Every time I go, there seem to be less and less shops open, with nobody replacing them, such a shame.
