A real modern theatre and gallery with lots to see and do including storytelling,the theatre and work from Lowry himself.The theatre is a good size with plenty of staff to help you find your way but the seats are a bit tight so if you need to stretch out choose carefully.There seems to be plenty of shows to watch but no real big acts somehow considering this is Media city.The gallery was really interesting with it's 360 degrees room showing Lowry's famous football match,it brought it all to life,amazing.All in all a great night out with a wrap around bar and plenty of restaurants to choose from,just book before hand

Parked Quayside media city car park at £4.50 for 3hrs parking. 5 mins walk to Lowry which is free to get in. Booked online for immersive experience but it wasn't busy. Lasted about 5 mins, was very good but it would ve better if it had been longer and taken in a few more of his works. The gallery id small with 3 main rooms, spent about hour there. Quite a few of his works in place really showcases his eclectic style from the £7.8m Going to the Match to seascapes and people with red eyes!

One of the most beautiful venues I've ever been to. I always have a great time watching shows and performances and plays here. All the staff are always extremely friendly and helpful, and the accessibility and feedback facilitaties are fantastic.

Really loved visiting The Lowry. The location is amazing, right by the canal in MediaCity, so it’s very nice to just walk around before or after. Lowry’s paintings were probably my favourite part because he captured Manchester in such a real and honest way. Not some polished version of the city, but the everyday life, workers, streets, and atmosphere that made Manchester what it is.
