The best Halloween events in Glasgow 2026

Halloween in Glasgow is never a quiet affair. Once October rolls around, the city fills up with everything from huge club nights and secret raves to murder mysteries, funfairs and fancy dress parties that give you a very good excuse to go completely overboard with the costume.

And with Halloween landing on a Saturday in 2026, there’s even more reason to make a proper night of it. Whether you want pounding techno until the early hours, something the whole family can get stuck into or a night that’s a little different from your usual weekend plans, there are loads of Glasgow Halloween events worth checking out.

So, get the group chat moving, start thinking about the fancy dress and take a look at some of the best Halloween events in Glasgow this October.

Halloween Murder Mystery

When: Saturday 31st October 2026, 7pm–10:30pm

Where: ARTA, 62 Albion Street, Glasgow, G1 1PA

Fancy yourself as a budding Sherlock? Reckon your skills are on par with Benoit Blanc? Get down to ARTA’s Murder Mystery. Returning for another year after a killer 2025, the event promises dinner, drama and a slice of suspicion this Halloween.

Working in teams, you’ll analyse clues, question suspects and try to work out which wretched soul committed the crime. Tickets include a glass of fizz on arrival, a three-course meal and the full interactive show. Make sure you come dressed up, too. Once you’ve cracked the case, you’ll be able to party the night away in ARTA’s nightclub from 11pm.
