A popular seasonal attraction will return to Glasgow this year with tickets going on sale soon.
Itison has confirmed today that it will bring back GlasGLOW to the city’s Botanic Gardens in the west end for a seventh year.
The Halloween event will run from Friday 25 October until Sunday 3 November, and earlybird tickets will be available from Wednesday 21 August.
The attraction will take visitors on a journey through ten different worlds from BoneYard and CarnEvil to Clowntown, Haunted Hoose, and the House of Mirrors.
Oli Norman, CEO of itison and creator of GlasGLOW, said: “Since launching GlasGLOW back in 2018, over 650,000 people have joined us at the event and we can’t wait to show you what we have in-store this year.
"This year at GlasGLOW, there's some pretty scary sections that I can't wait for you to see! Don't worry if you're not up for it though, there will be a scenic route available to avoid any frights!"
“It’s really important to us that every GlasGLOW brings good to the local area – last year we raised a fantastic £20,000 at the event for some brilliant local charities and we’re excited to be bringing The itison Pumpkin Fund back this year aiming to raise even more.
“Every year peak tickets sell out within minutes so make sure you set a reminder to get the slots you want.”
