A Glasgow street has been transformed into Europe’s longest star tunnel.
Argyle Street – or Stargyle Street as its now known – has now become a must-visit destination for Christmas with an 80ft long immersive attraction that stretches along of the city’s busiest streets.
There is also a playful, interactive feature with a special activation button that triggers a chasing light sequence representative of Santa’s sleigh taking off.
The LED lights racing along the tunnel are accompanied by a whooshing sound and ‘Stargyle Street’ is set to be perfect for families.
The city, which is set to host the Commonwealth Games in 2026, continues to showcase its ability to dazzle and delight crowds of all ages, with the instillation of Stargyle Street.
Glasgow’s Lord Provost, Jacqueline McLaren said: “Christmas in Glasgow is always a magical experience especially when shared with family and friends. The festive season is now in full swing.
"I’d encourage everyone to visit the markets, the tree and see all the sparkling lights in George Square then take a walk through our new star tunnel on Argyle Street adding even more sparkle to Christmas.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
