Stars of the iconic BBC show Gladiators will be at Bluewater Shopping Centre in Kent on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd March taking over the Village Marquee for an exciting action-packed immersive experience.
What is the Gladiators Bluewater event?
Fans can meet with the stars of Gladiators, take exclusive photos, and try their hand at special versions of popular events Hang Tough and Duel. Guests who meet the 1-metre height restriction will have the chance to battle it out on the inflatable podium or those who meet the 1.2-metre height restriction can test their stamina in the Hang Tough event, seeing if they can outlast their friends—or even a Gladiator!
The event is free of charge and open on a first-come, first-served basis from 10am to 5.30pm both days. To avoid disappointment, guests are encouraged to arrive early to secure their spot.
We’re so excited to be bringing our largest scale fan activation yet to Bluewater. We are thrilled by the support for S2 of the show, and want to give fans the opportunity to meet the Gladiators and test their mettle in the ‘arena’. These events have been super popular, and we’re expecting our biggest turn out yet, so get down early and enjoy an exciting day of Gladiators action!

We are thrilled to announce that Bluewater will be hosting the biggest Gladiators immersive experience to-date later this month. It is going to be a fantastic opportunity for families to enjoy a free action-packed day out at Bluewater, with the chance to meet some of the cast as well as participating in the challenges.

Currently airing on BBC One and iPlayer, Gladiators has been a smash hit since its return in early 2024, hosted by Bradley and Barney Walsh. The show has introduced brand-new Gladiators Cyclone and Hammer, who will be making their first public appearance at the Bluewater event alongside a number of their fellow Gladiators.
With a line-up featuring Apollo, Athena, Bionic, Comet, Diamond, Dynamite, Electro, Fire, Fury, Giant, Legend, Nitro, Phantom, Sabre, Steel, and Viper, the show continues to thrill audiences with high-energy events like Gauntlet, The Wall, Atlaspheres, and the brand-new Unleash.
Whether you want to meet the Gladiators, take on the challenges, or just soak in the atmosphere, this is an event not to be missed ahead of the semi-finals airing on Saturday 22nd March.
Gladiators continues this Saturday at the later time of 7pm on BBC One and iPlayer – don’t miss the battle for a place in the semi-finals!
