First look at GlasGLOW 2026 - inside Zombie Zoo ahead of opening night

This year’s GlasGLOW sound and light show returns to the Botanic gardens.

GlasGLOW officially opens tonight, 16 October, and organisers at itison Glasgow have unveiled first-look images of this year’s show - giving a glimpse of what lies beyond the gates of this year's Halloween adventure – Zombie Zoo including the chance to enter the zombie cage.

Returning to Glasgow Botanic Gardens for its ninth year, Scotland’s biggest Halloween event is back with a new theme, promising dead good fun for all the family and plenty of spine-tingling surprises and magical memories for Halloween lovers of all ages, running until 1 November.

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.”
