🎃 Welcome to The OFFICIAL Asylum – Edinburgh's Biggest Halloween Event at the University of Edinburgh Students' Association - Potterow 🕷️
This Halloween, the walls of The Tub will come alive with screams, shadows, and sinister surprises as The Potterrow Asylum opens its doors for one terrifying night only – Friday 30th October.
Step inside… if you dare. 😈
Once a place of darkness and unspeakable experiments, the asylum has been locked up for decades… until now. The gates are creaking open, and the spirits that haunt its halls are eager for fresh souls to join their wicked celebration. Expect spine-chilling décor, monstrous performers lurking in the corners, and beats so big they’ll wake the dead.
Whether you come as a ghost, ghoul, or your darkest alter ego, this is the Halloween party to lose yourself in. But be warned… some say the Asylum’s residents never left… and they’re waiting. 👀
Edinburgh's biggest Halloween event. One night only. Will you survive The Potterrow Asylum?
