Dating in Salford Quays
In shortSalford Quays is the waterside side of the city, with wide walkways around the old docks. It works well for a slower date with plenty of space to walk and talk. There are theatres and galleries if the weather turns.
A first date idea
The Lowry
The Lowry's galleries are free and hold the world's largest collection of paintings and drawings by LS Lowry. There are also two theatres, so a gallery visit can turn into a show on a second date.
