WIN TIX TO SEE STOMP AT THE LOWRY!
Stomp, the award-winning theatre sensation, is set to wow audiences at The Lowry from Tue 28 January to Sat 2 February.

The eight performers use boots, bins, brooms and everything including the kitchen sink to hammer out an explosively feel-good rhythm. The junk and clutter of life becomes the source of infectious rhythm and wonder.
