Katapult Collaborates on New Gladiators Experience

We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with Live Nation, MGM, Floor-Jon Films Inc, and Patrick Doherty Design to create a brand new Gladiators Experience in the UK.

Friends, family, and contenders, get ready to step into the Gladiators Arena with the Gladiators Experience! For the first time ever, fans of the smash-hit BBC television show can become Gladiators contenders themselves - testing their speed, strength, and skill on the iconic challenges from the show. Launching at the NEC Birmingham from May 2026, the Gladiators Experience promises an unforgettable adventure.

The Gladiators Experience is a collaboration between Live Nation, MGM & Flor-Jon Films Inc., who are the masterminds behind the large-scale immersive event which will span over 10,000 square metres at the NEC Birmingham. From authentic props and museum exhibits to innovative, low-touch physical activities, every corner has been crafted by the Katapult team and Patrick Doherty Design to bring the excitement of the iconic show to life.

Guests will have the opportunity to take on some of the most recognisable challenges from the iconic BBC television show.
