GlasGLOW dates announced as 'epic dinosaur adventure' comes to Glasgow's Botanic Gardens

GlasGLOW is back this autumn, with the organisers promising a blockbuster new show - 'an epic dinosaur adventure into The Land That Time Forgot'.

After we revealed the return of both GlasGLOW - and Elfingrove - last week, itison have confirmed the popular autumn event will be back this year between October 26 and November 6.

The itison team announced this morning: "Selling out every year, GlasGLOW is now the largest light show in Scotland, returning for its fifth year with a brand-new story: 170M years ago dinosaurs roamed Scotland. The year is now 2022. And they’re back. Itison presents The Land That Time Forgot.

"Following thousands of five-star reviews, this year’s GlasGLOW will take guests on an exhilarating 60 minute outdoor route through the Botanic Gardens where jeopardy lies around every corner, dinosaurs come to life, dormant volcanos threaten to erupt and only the brave will make it out…without being eaten alive.

"Created and produced by itison, alongside a team of world class creative sound, light and set designers, GlasGLOW is an immersive outdoor experience like no other that’s jam packed with amazing photo opportunities, exciting displays, interactive installations, a street food village, GLOW bar and the return of Marshmallowland!".

Tickets for this year's show are set to go on sale next week, Wednesday August 24 at 7.30am.

Creator of GlasGLOW and itison CEO, Oli Norman, said: “I wrote this year’s story whilst on a family trip to the Isle of Skye during the pandemic. Discovering the dinosaur fossils on the North of the island with my kids was amazing. This year’s show imagines what would happen if those dinosaurs roamed Glasgow today!
