The Lowry
Pier 8, Salford Quays
Lowry is only half of the story, however, as the centre brings together an amazing variety of visual and performing arts projects all under one roof. As well as the contemporary arts shows in its galleries, the steel-clad wonder has also hosted more award-winning theatre productions than any other regional venue. Its two theatres and additional performing arts space receive blockbuster musicals, dance, opera, comedy, ballet, children’s shows, jazz, folk and popular music acts and West End productions. There are restaurants, cafés and bars situated in the south side of the building – offering breathtaking views with your cappuccino – while its close proximity to Imperial War Museum North make a trip to Salford Quays doubly worthwhile.
