The Lowy in Salford Quays, Manchester is extremely easy to get to and well signposted. Easy access for car, bus or metro link visitors. Plenty of nearby car parking spaces available for car drivers.
Both myself and my partner’s mother ended up parking at The Lowry shopping outlet so we could have a few drinks before the show started… plus a bonus parking is free if you buy something from one of the shops or dine at one of the many restaurants or bars.
Once we arrive at The Lowry we were greeted and welcomed by the ladies on the ticket desk, we were then shown which studio we needed to go to, we didn’t realise how big The Lowry is! We had the opportunity of sitting where we wanted, the seats where comfy and we had a brilliant view 2nd row from the front! There are quite a good few stairs to climb up to the studios, my partners mother has problems with her hips and struggles climbing stairs so she was happy to know they had disability facilities available such as a lift.
Once the show started we could clearly see the performer, not only did the performer put on a great but very unique British South Asian Dance contemporary dance, words cannot describe how unusual and extraordinary the show was. A great show choreographed by Russell Maliphant, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Akram Khan and Aakash Odedra.
Halfway through the performance there was an interval which gave us the opportunity to stretch our legs, use the toilet and to buy any beverages or snacks, we could either eat/drink them in the bar area or in the studio whilst watching the performance which made it feel very homely and cosy.
We shall definitely be keeping our eyes peeled for future shows alike Rising,a very good evening and would definitely recommended…
