Today, I decided to head down to try out the new free immersive experience at The Lowry. This is my first time going to The Lowry in general and it was a great experience from the helpful staff to the fantastic projections and artwork.

I seem to be collecting immersive experiences lately, however, this one being completely free meant I simply had to go.

As I explain in the video above, I do actually have a bit of family history with L.S Lowry. In fact, my grandad once met him in a pub and Lowry offered to draw him in exchange for a pint.

My grandad, (annoyingly not having the hindsight that we do now in knowing that this was not just a strange man, but actually a brilliant artist) declined the offer.

With a recent artwork of Lowry’s having just gone on auction for around £800,000, it’s fair to say my family and I might be a tad better off if he had said yes.

But anyway, I highly recommend checking The Lowry 360 immersive experience out and you have a whole lot of time as it finishes on the 31st of August.

Walk-ins may be available on the day, but it is probably best to book your 15 minute slot online.

With your free ticket, you can also see Modern Life: The LS Lowry Exhibition.
