Technical Specifications for Visiting Companies

If you’re thinking of pitching something to our creative team for inclusion in our programme, you might like to take a look at the technical specifications of our three primary theatre spaces.

Accessibility

Here at The Lowry we believe that our diverse programme of performing and visual arts should be accessible to anyone, and we aim to make everyone’s visit as easy and comfortable as possible.

We are committed to offering a diverse programme of accessible performances including captioned, audio described, relaxed and BSL-interpreted performances.
