Looking for some super quick recommendations for what to do and see around Glasgow? Well, our Culture team have got you covered.
Get a fright at: Halloween Horror Nights Scare Cinema, which is back for its third year in the city’s Southside this month. Showcasing horror films across the 25 and 26 October, there’ll even be secret mazes and scare-actors to give you a real good scare during your movie viewing. Check out their website for more information on the film screenings and how to purchase tickets. (https://horrornights.co.uk/)
Immerse yourself in: A modern revamp of the 70s Black Power movement parties at Shakara: Time to Move at GoMA on 24 October. Art, music and spoken word will all be in abundance, so make sure you don’t miss out on this free event to witness some of the talented POC that Glasgow has to offer and hear their take on black / minority life in Scotland today.
