Important update

In light of the new Omicron variant and overall rise of positive COVID-19 cases across the country, The Lowry has decided to re-introduce the mandatory wearing of face masks (except for those who are exempt) within the building. This includes during all theatre performances, visits to the gallery and movement around the foyer spaces except when seated in the Pier Eight Bar & Restaurant. This measure is being taken to protect the visiting cast and crew, our front of house staff and volunteers as well as our audiences and visitors. We thank patrons in advance for their co-operation.
