GlasGLOW returns to Glasgow Botanic Gardens this evening with a new Zombie Zoo theme, bringing immersive Halloween attractions, glowing light displays and street food to the city.
Now in its ninth year, the event runs from October 16 to November 1 and is created and produced by Glasgow-based company itison.

Billed as the UK’s biggest Halloween experience, this year’s event invites visitors into a fictional zombie containment and conservation facility, featuring decontamination tunnels, zombie laboratories and an eight-metre-tall dancing Zombie God.
Guests can also take part in a zombie encounter inside the Zombie Cage, explore a zombie pumpkin patch and visit Marshmallowland, known for its glowing lights.
The experience combines immersive sound and light displays with interactive installations designed for visitors of different ages.
The street food village also returns, with churros from Loop & Scoop, artisan pizzas from Mangiamo, fried chicken from Dirty Bird, loaded fries from Fries Guys and Philly cheesesteaks from Hector & Harriet. Visitors can also stop at the Zombie Bar.

Oli Norman, CEO of itison and founder of GlasGLOW, said: "I've wanted to bring zombies to GlasGLOW for years, and we've gone all out to make this year's show our biggest and most ambitious yet.
"There's action, suspense, and surprises around every corner, but it's also packed with all the magic, fun, and interactive experiences that people love about GlasGLOW.
"What we've discovered while building Zombie Zoo is that zombies are actually very misunderstood – they just need a bit of love and nurture and we can’t wait for everyone to come meet them."
