Glasgow’s popular Halloween attraction, Spooktacular, is set to make a return this autumn, promising a bigger line-up and a brand-new location on the banks of the Clyde.
The fright-filled event will run from Thursday, October 2 to Sunday, October 26, 2025, with organisers teasing that this year’s instalment will be “hauntingly good” and an unmissable highlight of the city’s Halloween calendar, Glasgow Live reports.
A post on the event’s official Instagram channel confirmed the comeback, reading: “Something big is creeping back into Glasgow this October… Early Bird tickets for Spooktacular 2025 drop this week – keep a lookout for the announcement.”
While the exact site has yet to be revealed, organisers have confirmed that the event is moving to a new Clydeside location.

Details of the attractions are also still under wraps, but the team say the festival atmosphere will remain true to the much-loved formula that has built Spooktacular’s loyal following.
A spokesperson for the event said: “The exact location is still under wraps for now – but trust us, you’ll want to be first to know.
“Expect the full Spooktacular mix: high-adrenaline thrill rides, family-friendly favourites, eerie photo spots and plenty of food and drink to keep the energy up. Whether you’re in it for the heart-racing drops or just here for the churros and candy floss, there’s something for everyone.”

One of the biggest draws of Spooktacular is the ticketing model, which offers all-inclusive wristbands. Each ticket provides four hours of unlimited access to all rides and attractions, allowing visitors to make the most of the evening without worrying about extra costs.
This year, early bird tickets are already on sale, with organisers encouraging Halloween fans to secure their spots before the event officially reveals its headline attractions.
Since its launch, Spooktacular has become a staple of Glasgow’s autumn calendar, drawing crowds of families, couples, and thrill-seekers alike.
Known for its mix of high-octane rides, spooky-themed entertainment, and indulgent food stalls, the event has grown steadily each year.
Organisers say they want to continue to capture the atmosphere that makes the event special while delivering new features for 2025. “This year’s line-up is set to be as hauntingly good as ever,” they said.
