This is opposite The Lowry, so if you want to make day of your visit to the area, you could easily spend some time in the Lowry Outlet. It is large, clean and spacious, and there is a big choice of shops, restaurants and cafes, and even a cinema.
Spend an hour or so in here, spend an hour or so in The Lowry, or the IWM North, and you have the perfect afternoon out.
