   I had the pleasure of attending a performance by one of my favorite comedians. I was seated in the circle, which offered an excellent view. The staff members were all very friendly and accommodating, and the venue itself appeared to be as well-maintained as it was when I first visited it shortly after its opening 25 years ago.

   We booked tickets to see the Quentin Blake exhibition. It’s free to enter though, possibly to control guest numbers. When we arrived, we were greeted by a friendly chap who said we will be seeing the Lowry 360. Wasn’t sure what it was, but we were led into a theatre and watched a 6 minute video of the famous Lowry painting of fans going to Bolton Wanderers football club! We highly recommend you do this as the video brought the painting to life! The video filled all the walls, ceiling and floor and you became mesmerised into the painting! It was brilliant!! We then saw the rest of the Lowry paintings and then saw the fabulous Quentin Blake illustrations! I’ve read many books as a child with his illustrations and it was fascinating to see them close up!

   Visit to the Lowry today amazing experience we started at the 360 Lowry experience where they have brought one of LS Lowrys pictures alive, it was awesome for 6 minutes your transported amongst the picture with matchstick people and animals walking around you. Amazing I would highly recommend Lowry 360 after you can walk around the gallery and look at a huge collection of his works plus there's some of his personal items. All for zero cost so be generous and put a little coin into the collection boxes. There is a cafe, restraunt, bar and a well stocked gift shop plus toilets in the building. A big thankyou to Neil who we met as we entered extremely sociable and explained everything we felt so welcome what a credit to the Lowry. If in Manchester it's a must place to visit.

   Very, very good venue. The quayside theatre is very small and intimate, but holds a good crowd. We were there to see the "Ideal" stage show (which was absolutely brilliant) and it was a great trip. Two minor issues were that it was unclear when the doors would open, leaving quite a few people like us standing outside in rain and wind, which was not Ideal (see what I did there) Also the toilet roll dispensers are utterly dreadful, where you have to try and pull it out of a very tight opening and it invariably tears close to the holder. You know the ones I'm talking about... The rosé wine is delightful...

   such a great theatre, extremely accessible, the seat sizes are a life saver with the amount of old theatres i have been in! six was also such a good show, and i feel as though it fit perfectly with the purple theme in the lowry. my mum and i had such a lovely time.

   Comfortable seating. I was on the 2nd row of top level (cheaper sests), and we could see the stage perfectly, but the top of the screen at the back of the stage was not visible. It did not affect our enjoyment of the show. Leaving the car park at the outlet after an evening show can take a long time.

   Everything went very smoothly, all the way from parking directions to the Quayside parking, to the friendly security at the door to space to move around inside to seating in the Lyric theatre.

   Performing arts R us, a large theatre space with a huge mix of things going on to fill it. Take a look at the website, there'll be something to entertain. Not to expensive, staffed mostly by lovely volunteers, a nice place to visit. Parking can be an issue, especially exiting after a full performance. Enjoy.
