Think you could be a contender on the BBC’s Gladiators? Find out for sure at the new Gladiators Experience, taking place next year at the NEC Birmingham
Fans of the BBC’s Gladiators can now take on the show’s most famous challenges at the new Gladiators Experience.
But they’ll have to be quick, with pre-sale tickets up for grabs this Wednesday for next year’s strictly limited run at the NEC Birmingham. If they miss out, general sales open Friday November 28 at 10am.
Tickets will offer fans, along with their families, the chance to test their speed, strength and skill across a range of iconic events. They can face off in Duel, climb The Wall and race around the Unleash track.
If that’s not enough, there’s Hang Tough – a death-defying game of aerial chess – and the punishing Eliminator obstacle course.
A spokesperson said: “The Gladiators Experience blends thrilling physical events with inspiring behind-the-scenes attractions, offering excitement for visitors of all ages and abilities.
“Whether you’re planning a family day out or battling it out with friends, there’s something for everyone – including those who simply want to enjoy the atmosphere from the sidelines.”
The authentic recreation of the Gladiators arena, taking over the NEC from May, is open to both kids and adults. Spectator tickets are also available, offering access to attractions like the Gladiators Training Facility.
There’s also a food court, merch superstore and children’s soft pay area, making it easier to cheer on family and friends.
It comes in the wake of the action-packed Gladiators live show currently touring packed UK arenas. It features favourites from the BBC show, including Giant, Sabre, Nitro and Fire, battling contestants in a string of games.
Bosses have promised every night will be unmissable for fans.
A spokesperson said: “The live show will be a spectacular, high-octane show with all the fan-favourite events.
“It will feature fast-paced entertainment. With purpose-built sets crafted to immerse audiences and state-of-the-art lighting that transforms the arena into a gladiatorial battleground, this is a live experience like no other.”
Two-hour spectacular Gladiators Live kicked off earlier this month with dates in Liverpool and Manchester. It’s due in London, Birmingham and Glasgow over the next few weeks.
The BBC show, filmed at Sheffield Arena, is set to return in 2026 with another series and a brand-new Celebrity Special.
