Dinosaurs have “stampeded” into Glasgow’s Botanic Gardens in preparation for GlasGLOW this Halloween.

Organisers announced the light show is set to return to the gardens between October 26 and November 6.

Billed as an “epic dinosaur adventure”, The Land That Time Forgot will feature a 60-minute outdoor route through the 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”.

Tall creatures from millennia ago “stampeded” into the gardens on Wednesday morning, as preparations for the light show began.

Created and produced by itison, GlasGLOW visitors can expect an outdoor experience jam packed with photo opportunities, exciting displays, interactive installations, a street food village, GLOW bar and Marshmallowland.

“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,” said creator of GlasGLOW and itison CEO, Oli Norman.

He added: “This year’s show imagines what would happen if those dinosaurs roamed Glasgow today!

“Our goal each year is to light up to the dark months, do positive work in the community and deliver a world class show – we can’t wait to show you what we have planned this year.”
