Grab your cape and gather your superpowers for a thrilling Halloween experience like no other in Paisley’s historic town centre on

Paisley Halloween Festival, one of the biggest and best, free Halloween events in the UK, will be back for three nights of electrifying live performances and spine-chilling installations all inspired by eminent heroes, myths and legends.

Between 6pm and 9pm each night, the streets around Paisley Abbey will come alive with creeping spiders, other-worldly beings, a fire-breathing dragon and flying caped crusaders; all engaged in an exhilarating battle of good versus evil.

Part of Scotland’s Year of Stories, supported by EventScotland’s National Events Programme, this year’s spooktacular promises street performances, aerial acrobatics, stunning bespoke installations and frightfully good fun for all the family.

This year’s not-to-be-missed festival highlights include;

Sprawling spider’s lair, complete with luminous eggs and giant arachnid. Enter if you dare…

Perilous rooftop battle of good vs evil choreographed by the aerial-experts, All or Nothing
