'Tis the Season to Trick or Treat


This post is part 2 of some of the fa-boo-lous events to celebrate Halloween in and around Ayrshire and Glasgow. Part 1 (‘Tis the Season to Get Spooky) was uploaded last week which listed events for families and scare-seekers, so check that out if you missed it! 

For the Friends – Silverburn Spooktacular 

  • Running from Thursday 7th of October until Sunday 31st of October, selected dates.
  • This funfair is a new event this year located in the Green Car Park at Silverburn shopping centre.
  • The sessions are 4 hours long and run from either 12pm-4pm or 5pm-9pm.
  • There are loads of different rides, food stalls and photo opportunities, making this the perfect place to round up your friends for some fun, food and even some cool Halloween photoshoots!
Tickets are £16.50 for riders over 1.2m and £13.20 for riders under 1.2m, and these tickets offer unlimited rides.


For the couples - At the Flix Drive-In: Halloween Spooktacular at Loudon Castle 

  • Running from Friday 29th October until Sunday 31st October 
  • At the Flix Drive-In is back, this year deciding to run their Halloween drive-in cinema at the ruins of Loudon Castle, which will make cosying up together for a scary movie extra atmospheric! 
  • There are 4 films running each day, ranging all the way from family films and Halloween favourites to classic horrors so you’re bound to find the perfect film for you.
  • As well as the movie there’s plenty more fun included in the ticket, such as the in-car quiz, car-a-oke and a chance to win prizes in a fancy-dress competition
  • You can also order food directly to your car 
  • I’m recommending this for couples is because it’s such a perfect opportunity for a unique and unusual date night, but this event is fang-tastic for groups of friends and families too
  • Bring plenty of snacks, hot drinks, and blankets - especially to hide under if you choose one of the scary movies!
Tickets are £36.50 per car, and this also entitles you to £5 off the Christmas Drive-In.

Now that Halloween and Bonfire Night are over, I think it’s finally time to start talking about the most wonderful time of the year – Christmas! This post is part 1 of 2 of some of the best events in Ayrshire and Glasgow to bring us all a bit of Christmas cheer. Another post highlighting more events will be posted soon.  For the Friends – Bongo's Bingo Glasgow presents Winter Wonderland  Running on the 1st, 2nd ,8th, 9th, 15th and 30th of December Anyone who’s been to Bongo’s Bingo can tell you it is an unforgettable night, complete with drinks, pals, karaoke classics and plenty of dancing. That’s why I’m recommending their Winter Wonderland event as the perfect Christmas night out with your friends. Don’t expect just any normal game of bingo though – the bingo caller, male dancers and absolutely ridiculous prizes all make for a night of laughter from beginning to end! • The Christmas theme will give you the chance to win special festive prizes and they will also be playing all the

This post is part 1 of 2 of some of the fang-tastic events to celebrate Halloween in and around Ayrshire and Glasgow. Another blog post highlighting even more local events will be uploaded soon!  For the Families – M&D’s Pumpkin Outdoor Festival 2021  Running from Saturday 9th of October until Sunday 31st October, selected dates and times. There are several different pumpkin picking events around Glasgow but this one is my favourite for families due to the extras in place to ensure that visitors have the best Halloween experience possible. Visitors can not only pick a pumpkin from the patch but also enjoy storytelling by Folksy Theatre, play the ‘Bash a Pumpkin’ game, and even ride the Pumpkin Express train! There are also 2 ASN sessions for families with children who may need a wee bit of extra support during events like these, meaning everyone can join in on the fun. Tickets are £8.50 (with a hot drink voucher, pumpkin not included) or £10.95 (pumpkin included) and little ones un
