GlasGLOW festival is one of the most fun (and scary) Halloween festivals in Scotland that takes place every year at the city’s Botanic Gardens, just a few minutes walk from us in the Acorn Hotel, in Glasgow’s West end.

With thousands of people of all ages having attended over the last number of years, this year marks its seventh season, and it has become a must visit on the Halloween/Autumn cultural calendar.

Taking place from Friday, October 25th until Sunday, November 3rd GlasGLOW will bring “Trick or Treating” to a whole new level. At the festival, there are ten realms to ‘enjoy/scare/delight’ including:

Opening Times: Entry slots are booked by time and available every 15 mins with peak and off peak prices available from £9 per child and £24 per adult. The popular Mallow & Fast Pass tickets are available for a supplement and access is through a dedicated entrance and includes a marshmallow skewer to enjoy on arrival.

This inclusive festival also offers a relaxed ASN session on Thursday 31st October and Saturday, 2nd November for guests with sensory issues.

If you plan on spending most of your evening there, you’ll be able to grab a bite to eat at the Gourmet Street Food Village or just go for more marshmallows at Marshmallow land!

And you can even try your hand at a FREE Pumpkin Carving Workshops! For all the information you need on the event visit here.
