spooktacular glasgow fairground

As Summer is nearing its end, Autumn is now slowly creeping its way in, and we know it only means one thing – Halloween, baby! So, to get us in the spooky mood, is a beloved immersive event, Spooktacular, arriving in Glasgow from October 2 to November 1. And the organisers have unveiled a frightful line-up of rides.

Spooktacular will take place at Clydeside’s South Street, Pollok in the lead-up to Halloween and will feature the likes of an epic rollercoaster, thrill rides for thrill seekers, a festival wheel with the best view of Glasgow and ‘little pumpkin’ rides. There will be over 20 rides for you to choose from, all of which are included with a wristband.

Guests can enjoy fairground thrills, family attractions, games, food, music and, of course, plenty of spooky photo opportunities. Approaching its sixth year, Spoktacular has become an unmissable fixture of Scotland’s Halloween calendar, attracting visitors of all ages and welcoming many returning families and groups year after year.

Those after an adrenaline rush can check out fairground favourites including the Starflyer, Waltzer, Take Off, Big Wheel, Twist, Dodgems and Matrix, with more rides to be announced.

Younger visitors will have plenty to do as well, with a noteworthy selection of family and children’s rides including the Runaway Train, Mini Ski Jump, Tea Cups, Bungee Trampolines, Family Coaster, Chair O Planes and Monster Trucks.
