The Lowry

With its striking modern architecture overlooking the waterfront, The Lowry is not just a venue but an experience.

Inside, the centre houses three performance spaces that host a dynamic programme of theatre, dance, comedy, and music. From West End productions and contemporary drama to cutting-edge dance and family-friendly shows, The Lowry’s stages come alive with creativity year-round.

The galleries are home to the world’s largest public collection of works by L.S. Lowry, the iconic 20th-century artist known for his industrial landscapes and “matchstick men.” Alongside permanent displays, the galleries also showcase rotating exhibitions of contemporary art, featuring bold, thought-provoking work from both established and emerging artists.

Visitors can enjoy guided tours, talks, and workshops, or simply relax in the spacious public areas that overlook the Manchester Canal. The Lowry also features a stylish bar and restaurant, as well as a gift shop offering art-inspired books, prints, and souvenirs.
