HALLOWEEN
A round-up of some of the spookiest events taking place this autumn
We’ve ofi cially left the summer months behind and though you may be feeling understandably downhearted, it doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom. That is unless you want it to be . . .
children aged eight and over are invited to help mad scientist Dr Frank McStein i nd his monster by following the clues to save the day. The Festival of the Dead is back in Edinburgh
For those of you after the quintessential Scottish Halloween experience, don’t miss the Samhuinn Fire Festival (Old Town, Edinburgh, Wed 31 Oct). Hosted by the Beltane Fire Society, the festival takes the form of a stunning torchlit procession, with acrobatics, i reworks, beautiful costumes and breathtaking performances.
Elsewhere in Edinburgh, the Halloween Magic School (Lauriston Castle, Sat 20 Oct) promises kids aged 7–11 the chance to get dressed up and learn, create and perform their own magic. Meanwhile, at the same venue, paranormal illusionist Ash Pryce leads the magic-themed The Twilight Seance (Fri 26 Oct) and at The Haunted Hunt: Monsters of the Castle (Sat 27 & Sun 28 Oct),
(Usher Hall, Sat 29 Sep) and Glasgow (O2 Academy, Fri 19 Oct), with all the spookiness you’d expect, with everything from a 15-ft roaming vulture to carnival processions, circus acts and skeletons. The annual Day of the Deid also returns to Saint Luke’s in Glasgow (Sat 27 Oct), featuring live music, dance and theatre performances and plenty of tequila, cocktails and Mexican street food. For the wee ones, the Castlemilk Park Pumpkin Festival (Sun 21–Sat 27 Oct) is a good shout, as is Children’s Classic Concerts and the RSNO’s Broomstick Ride (Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, Sat 27 Oct), which includes witches, wizards and valkyries along the way.
