Scotland’s favourite festive family day out is back! The Irn Bru Carnival return to Glasgow’s SECC from 20th December 2024 to 12th January 2025.
Packed with thrill rides, family rides, and children’s rides. Not to mention games, stalls and an inflatable play area for the little ones, there’s a reason the IRN-BRU Carnival has been running for over 100 years – it’s an unmissable event in your festive calendar.
The Rides
Whether you visit with friends or family, we have rides for kids of all ages – including the grown-up ones! Keep an eye on social media for new ride announcements!
All rides except the Extreme Ice Blast cost 1 x voucher* – you get 10 vouchers included in every ticket, and additional ones can be bought at the Carnival or online for £2 each, or 5 for £8. Please note that children under 3 do not get vouchers included in their free tickets, but do require a voucher to ride. You can share your vouchers among your party, so don’t worry if one person wants to ride more than everyone else – and you can also use the vouchers on our stalls, and inflatable play area. Vouchers cannot be used again on another day, so don’t forget to use them all up!
