GlasGLOW 2024: Tickets on sale now for light show returning with spooky new theme - where to buy them

Tickets have gone on sale today for GlasGLOW, the spectacular light show set to return to the Botanic Gardens of Scotland’s biggest city this autumn.

This year’s light show, which is in its seventh year with a new Halloween adventure entitled GlasGLOW: Trick or Treat, will comprise ten worlds - located within the Botanic Gardens - from BoneYard and CarnEvil to Clowntown and Haunted Hoose.

Visitors can cosy up at CampSite, visit the pumpkins at The Patch, get gooey at Marshmallowland, fly away at UP, face off in House of Mirrors and discover the magic of Halloween at GlasGLOW.

Oli Norman, chief executive 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.”
