Organisers of Glasgow’s spectacular light show have given a sneak peek of what’s on show this year.
GlasGLOW has become an annual feature in the city's Botanic gardens each Halloween.
Now in its seventh year, the light show opens today, and runs from the 25th of October until Sunday 10th November after extra dates were added due to huge demand.
Tickets for peak slots across opening week and the first two weekends have already sold out, but final tickets remain for the last week.
More than 150 people have been working for over a year to bring GlasGLOW: Trick or Treat to life. Since launching in 2018, nearly 750,000 have visited the annual event
Around 85,000 attendees expected to visit over the next two weeks, bringing a huge economic boost to the local area.

Visitors will discover ten 'realms’ including the magical world of UP, the interactive fun of Carnevil, thecommunity-curated pumpkin Patch, a spectacular immersive lawn show and Marshmallowland.
There’s also a section called Clowntown, taking those brave enough on a creepy walkthrough of the Rose Garden – the area is skippable though for anyone scared of clowns.
Oli Norman, CEO of creators itison said: “Every year the goal is to make GlasGLOW even bigger and better and I think this year is our most exciting yet.
“There are 10 different realms to discover, each fantastical and unique in their own way. Our Opening week and our first two weekends have already sold out all peak slots with limited tickets left for the final week – if you don’t have yours already, get them now before they’re gone.”
The GlasGLOW Street Food Village is also back this year with favourites including Loop & Scoop, Dirty Bird, Fries Guys, Mangiamo, Brigston & Co and the magical GLOW Bar.

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 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.
