Spooktacular, Glasgows own frightening fairground, returns to the city in 2023

Scotland's beloved Halloween event, Spooktacular, is returning to Glasgow this Halloween season, running from October 6th to 29th. Located in the Green Car Park at Silverburn, this event promises a spooky yet entertaining experience for all ages, whether you're brave or a bit of a scaredy cat.

Following the success of previous events like Spooktacular and Galactic Carnival, this year's Spooktacular is conjuring up a sensational event for the spook-tastic season, bewitching family and friends alike.

It will feature a range of thrilling rides, including the Haunted Tagada and the Speed Buzz, allowing you to embrace your inner thrill-seeker. You can also enjoy the eerie delights of the Waltzers and the Moonlit Ferris Wheel. And of course, no Halloween event would be complete without a Ghost Train to send shivers down your spine as you ride along the line.

Jumpin’ Frogs, Miami Trip, Superbob, Twist and Pirate Ship are also rides to look forward to at Spooktacular.

But if you have some Little Pumpkins coming with you, do not fear, as they will most definitely have their share of fun too. Attractions like the Haunted Runaway Train, Big Apple Coaster, Bungee Trampolines, and the Mini Chair-O-Plane, are all designed to make sure every member of the family is entertained during the spooky season.

Unleash your inner thrill-seeker as they cast a spell of fun and fear on you, with guests expecting attractions including a wide range of exciting rides, Spooky Silent Disco, photo opportunities and fang-tastic food options.
