Stars of BBC show Gladiators will be at Bluewater on Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 March, taking over the Village Marquee for an action-packed immersive experience.
Fans can meet with the stars, take photos and try their hand at special versions of popular events Hang Tough and Duel. Guests who meet the one-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.
Dan Cavallo, marketing manager for the BBC, said: “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.”
James Waugh, centre director at Bluewater, said: “This 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.”
Hosted by Bradley and Barney Walsh, the current series has introduced new Gladiators Cyclone and Hammer, alongside fan favourites Apollo, Athena, Bionic, Comet, Diamond, Dynamite, Electro, Fire, Fury, Giant, Legend, Nitro, Phantom, Sabre, Steel and Viper. The event at Bluewater will also be the first chance for fans to meet the new Gladiators Cyclone and Hammer ahead of the first semi final airing on Saturday March 22.
