Overall Rating
Good
Whether for the Theatre ( there is 3) Art exhibition (largest collection of Lowry) just food his is a great place to see. A multi floor car park across the street connected to Lowry Outlet. It would have been a five but for the sloped floor to the toilets - it is a struggle to get back up to ground floor, you could as one of the volunteers for assistance. Discount for people with disability and carer. Good clean Disabled Toilets on each floor. Lifts to get to the 1st floor.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
Good street level access. Seating inside main entrance doors - these are not automatic doors and can be considered heavy. There are volunteers at the door to assist. Internal - floors ar flat with lifts connecting two floors.
Parking & Transport
Average
Car park is Multi-storey across the street and 5 min walk. Tram link connecting to Manchester although quite a distance to walk to -we did it in 15mins. Good taxi rank directly outside
Accessible Toilets
Good
Toilets are good and clean. The are big enough for turning room. No seats for a carer although ample room. Quite a long sloped floor from main floor to toilet on ground floor - gradient compiles but length makes getting back to main floor for theatre, cafe, bar, shops can be difficult without assistance.
Staff
Excellent
Staff are very helpful, welcoming and polite
Additional Information
I will and do visit often because it is not far from my home. I would advise to ask for assistance if not going down then getting back on to the flat ground floor if you visit the toilets
