The IRN-BRU Carnival is showing its appreciation to Scotland’s redheads this Ginger Day. Whether your ginger glow is natural, dyed, or courtesy of a wig, anyone rocking the iconic IRN-BRU hue on the final day, 11 January 2026 will be rewarded with a bonus ride voucher. It’s our way of saying thanks for wearing the colour of Scotland’s most beloved drink.
A true Glasgow institution enjoyed for over 100 years, The IRN-BRU Carnival features more than 75 thrilling rides, games, and family-friendly attractions – making this the biggest show in the event’s 106 year history. And don’t miss your chance between 1:30pm and 2:30pm to grab the ultimate selfie with the IRN-BRU Mascot, Can Man.
2025’s edition opened on 19 December with classic favourites, including dodgems, waltzers and traditional fairground games all fully indoors, making this a must-visit during the Christmas and New Year period – whatever the weather.
IRN-BRU lovers can also enjoy exclusive IRN-BRU-themed menu for the first time at the SEC’s Clydebuilt. Available until Carnival close on 11th January, fans can enjoy three themed dishes including Pakora, Cheesecake and BRU-flavoured Mr Whippy Soft-serve Ice Cream (served within the hall).
