Dear England Dementia Friendly Performances
We’re so excited to welcome you to Lowry for the dementia friendly performance of Dear England on Wed 11 June at 2pm & Wed 18 June 2025 at 2pm.
This play takes place in Lowry’s Lyric Theatre, one of the three theatre spaces inside Lowry, a large steel and glass building on Pier Eight in the Salford Quays.
The play is also taking place during Carers Week and we wanted to recognise the contribution unpaid carers make to families and communities throughout the UK.
