Tennent's Wellpark Brewery

Coming up with fresh frights every Halloween can be something of a chore. In our desensitised world, zombies, ghouls, even sexy witches just can’t cut it any more.

So why not combine the Halloween season with that perennial favourite the brewery tour? Scares and ale, together at last. Today’s Big Deal grabs you by the wrist, cackles that there is no escape and hauls you off for a spine-chilling (and lager-chillin’) tour of the Tennent’s Brewery.

Fright night

Glasgow’s oldest brewery is home to over 450 years of brewing history and has plenty of scary tales to share (and we don’t mean the great malt shortage of 1986).

The monks of St Mungo share a few of the grisly legends and myths surrounding the building in a tour lasting an hour and 45 minutes. Happily, any shattered nerves are quickly restored with a refreshing pint, a Tennent’s cocktail, nibbles and some traditional Halloween games.

The Big Deal offers admission for one to the tour, with drinks and snacks included in the price.

Choice of dates

Suitable for ages 12 and above (with soft drinks available for under 18s), the tours are available on Friday 28 October and Saturday 29. There are four tours each night with a maximum of 15 people per tour. Start times are 6pm, 7pm, 8pm and 9pm.

Spooktacular

Last year’s inaugural Halloween tour went down well with the customers who survived to tell the tale. TripAdvisor comments include the following:

‘Was a fantastic night and highly recommend this. We will definitely be keeping an eye out for this again next year!’

‘Had an absolutely brilliant night! Tour guide was brilliant and very funny.’

The Tennent’s Fright Night Big Deal would make a great surprise gift idea for a friend or partner who loves Halloween, loves beer but has never thought of combining the two.
