Stars of the iconic BBC One TV show Gladiators are coming to Metrocentre on Saturday, 26th October for an unmissable day of fun and excitement.

Visitors to Metrocentre will have the chance to meet their favourite Gladiators, capture photos, and participate in an inflatable version of the famous duel event, where you can face off with friends and family. Participants can step up to the inflatable podium and test their strength as they battle against an opponent.

The meet-and-greet sessions and inflatable arena will be available from 10 am to 4 pm on a first-come, first-served basis, completely free of charge. To avoid missing out, guests are encouraged to arrive early as it’s expected to be a busy day!

After wrapping up the filming of the latest season in Sheffield, the cast of Gladiators is touring the UK, bringing fans an immersive experience ahead of the highly anticipated second series, airing in early 2025.

Helen Atkinson, Metrocentre Marketing Manager, said: “We’re thrilled to bring another fun and unique experience to our guests this October. Gladiators is a show that has been watched and loved by families for decades, so to have members of its cast at Metrocentre sharing in the excitement ahead of the new series is a delight.”

Dan Cavallo, Marketing Manager for the BBC, added: “We're so excited to be bringing the Gladiators to Metrocentre in the North East. We know how popular the show has been here and how important it is that we take this activation out into the regions too.”
