Top Tips

Here are some top tips to get you arena-ready and make the most of your visit:

Please aim to arrive no earlier than 15 minutes before your booked time slot and ensure you have your ticket downloaded and ready to scan on your phone.

Every Contender ticket-holder must complete and sign a waiver form before they will be allowed into the Arena – please do so in advance and save time on the day.

Peak times in the Arena are between 11:00 and 16:00 so queues may be slightly longer during these periods for the events. If you wish to change your booking and come at an off peak time (from 16:00 to close), you can manage your order to change your time slot.

Outside of the thrill of the Arena action, Gladiators Experience also offers the chance for GladFans to meet some of their superstar heroes!

If you have purchased a Meet & Greet ticket in advance, make your way to the Meet & Greet check in desk located in The Vault 15 minutes before your designated session which will close 15 minutes after the start time.

We recommend that you attend a Meet & Greet session before you play the events and event kit items such as helmets, elbow pads and kneepads cannot be worn while taking part in the Meet & Greet.

Given the popularity of the Meet & Greet, queues can last up to 45 minutes and we ask that only one non-paying adult accompanies a junior ticket holder to maximise queuing space for other guests. 

From The Wall to Hang Tough – and the legendary Eliminator, of course! The Gladiators Arena is packed with thrilling physical challenges. It’s important to come dressed to meet the challenge head on!

We recommend you arrive in:

• Comfortable sports wear: T-shirts, long sleeve and short sleeved trousers or shorts

• Suitable trainers: no formal shoes, boots, open toes, high heels or bare feet are allowed

• Official contender uniforms are also available to purchase in advance.

(Please note that this is available at an additional cost during booking).

Contenders will have access to lockers to store items during their time in the arena only. Large bags are not permitted, so please only bring essentials!

⚠  Prohibited Items

• Hats

• Glasses on Duel 

• Mobile phones - including taking photographs while participating on events

• Wallets and jewellery which may damage the events

Remember: events in the Arena can be played in any order, and your 90 minutes of gameplay starts when you scan into your first event.

Not only the most popular event, the Eliminator is the most physically challenging event at Gladiators Experience, designed for fittest contenders to conquer! Ensure you watch the instructional video before taking on the challenge and get the most out of our experience!

Our Gladiators Experience Team will explain how each of the events – The Wall, Hang Tough, Duel, Unleash and The Eliminator – works and how to stay safe during your time in the Arena, so please listen closely to all game briefings and ensure you wear your supplied event kit for each game.

Water and sports drinks are permitted in the Arena – you’ll be highly active during the Experience, so make sure you drink plenty of fluids and take breaks if needed.

If you’re coming with a group or family, make a plan! Ensure everyone knows your rendezvous point  and stick together.
