GlasGLOW to return to the city's Botanic Gardens

GlasGLOW will return to the city’s Botanic Gardens from 24th October – 2nd November for its eighth year.

This year's show, GlasGLOW’s Miles Better - is inspired by the iconic 80s “Glasgow’s Miles Better” campaign that transformed the city’s image.

Nine larger-than-life Glasgow icons, will be re-imagined including the Glasglow Garden Festival, Tam Shepherds World of Magic, and the Clockwork Orange.

Over 80,000 people are expected to descend on the West End for Scotland’s largest Halloween event.

Oli Norman, CEO of itison and creator of GlasGLOW, said:

“Since launching GlasGLOW in 2018, over 80,000 people have joined us at the event every year - it’s become a highlight of the year for families, friends and visitors from across the UK.”

“This year is extra special as we bring back the iconic 80s ‘Glasgow’s Miles Better’ campaign in a whole new way, lighting up the city’s icons as you’ve never seen them before.”

“Every year peak tickets sell out within minutes so make sure you set a reminder to get the slots you want.”

Organisers are promoting accessibility and inclusion, with Relaxed Sessions on Thursday 30th October at 4:45pm and Sunday 2nd November at 4:30pm.

The team from Pamis will also return with Changing Places toilets from 30th October to 2nd November, alongside sensory guides, a quiet space, and GLOW passes to support visitors with sensory sensitivities.

The itison Pumpkin Fund also returns, supporting good causes around the Botanics.

Since launching in 2019, it has raised £100,000 for local charities and donated more than 8,000 free tickets and thousands of pumpkins to community groups, hospitals, and charities.
