This May, eight of the original Gladiators will be appearing at the Gladiators Live Experience.
The Experience, where fans can test their skills with challenges inspired by the show, was first revealed last year. Now, with popular contestants from the BBC series joining in, it’s become even more exciting.
Throughout the month, popular dogs like Apollo, Diamond, Dynamite, Fury, Giant, Hammer, Nitro, and Steel will be making appearances. They’ll be available to offer encouragement, pose for photos, and support participants.
Fans can also purchase meet-and-greet tickets for a chance to talk with their favorite performers in person.
Even if you don’t participate in everything, you’ll still experience famous obstacles like the Hang Tough course, The Wall, Eliminator, and Duel. Don’t miss The Vault for a peek behind the scenes, and be sure to check out the Superstore for exclusive souvenirs and gear.
Here’s what you need to know.
