The Gladiators Experience

Step into the Arena!
For the first time ever, GladFans across the UK will be able to put their speed, strength and skills to the ultimate test, as the iconic television show explodes into action with Gladiators Experience!
Do you have the nerve to traverse the Hang Tough course? Could you be the last person standing in an epic bout of Duel? Would staring up at The Wall inspire you to scale new heights? Will you be swinging to victory at the end of the legendary Eliminator? Taking place at the Birmingham NEC from May 2026, aspiring Contenders can at long last test their mettle in their favourite events!
And the action doesn’t end there! Away from the Arena, Gladiators Experience boasts even more fun, family-friendly attractions. There’s The Vault, which delivers an unmissable look behind the scenes of the nation’s favourite TV show. The Gladiator Training Facility, meanwhile, will sharpen the skillset needed to be a true Gladiator, and a huge Superstore will be the only place to purchase exclusive merchandise. Plus, with many other surprises along the way, Gladiators Experience is a spectacle like no other.
So whether you’re strapping on your helmet and dusting off your gumshield, or simply celebrating your love of the legendary, culture-defining television show, Gladiators Experience is an unmissable opportunity to live out your Gladiator dreams!
