We want everyone to feel included in all that The Lowry has to offer.

We’re working hard to remove barriers, so that our facilities and events can be accessible to as many people as possible.

GETTING HERE

The Lowry is located alongside Salford Quays and accessible by public transport.

Passenger Drop-Off

There is a passenger drop off point at the front of The Lowry, approximately 25-30 metres from the main entrance.

The primary disabled parking facility for The Lowry is The Quayside car park. We recommend that Blue Badge holders enter The Quayside car park at the entrance near the mini-roundabout on the road. This carpark has 80 designated accessible parking bays available on every level of the car park. You can find more information at Quayside Media City car parking and further information on our FAQ home.
