The Lowry is an accessible space.

We have 4 wheelchairs (3 manual and 1 motorised) available for hire free of charge. These can be booked through Box Office on 0870 787 5780. We advise wheelchair users inform the Box Office when booking tickets for a theatre event in order to ensure all seating requirements are met.

There is a passenger drop-off point immediately in front of The Lowry. Secure parking is available in the Lowry Outlet Mall multi-storey car park, which also has designated areas for disabled people on each level.

For more information on disabled parking please contact the Lowry Outlet Mall Customer Relations Desk on 0161 848 1850.

To reduce your waiting time at the end of the evening we strongly recommend that you pre-pay for your parking at a cost of £4 (valid between 5pm and 1am). Simply take your ticket to the car park office when you enter the car park – located in the basement car park by the Marks and Spencers escalator.

Digital Hearing Aid Enhancement in the Theatres
In order to enhance the sound in our theatres through your digital hearing aid, you need to ask for one of our neck loops from the information desk. Your hearing aid must also have been pre-programmed by the supplier to work with the neck loop. If your digital hearing aid has been supplied by the NHS it will already have been pre-programmed however, if it is from a private supplier you will need to check with them to find out if it has been programmed to operate with an induction loop system.
