It’s time to smile.

Step into nine larger-than-life Glasgow icons, re-imagined at GlasGLOW including the Glasglow Garden Festival, Tam Shepherds World of Magic, and the Clockwork Orange.

Some will give you chills, some will make you laugh, all will light you up.

One city, 850 years in the making. GlasGLOW is Miles Better.

The show combines immersive sound and light displays, stunning photo opportunities, a gourmet street food village and unforgettable interactive moments.

Fast Pass & Mallow tickets return this year, offering priority entry, a campfire classic marshmallow skewer, and a queue-hop straight into the show’s legendary Marshmallowland.

Organisers continue to prioritise 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 - helping as many people as possible experience GlasGLOW.
