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.
