BBC’s Gladiators set to takeover the Metrocentre - here’s how you can get involved
BBC One’s Gladiators are taking over the Metrocentre.
The stars of BBC One’s Gladiators will be taking over the Metrocentre, in Gateshead, on Saturday, October 26, to provide fun for the whole family.
The cast members of the iconic show will be on hand to give visitors to the shopping centre a chance to meet their favourite Gladiator.
There will be photo opportunities and the chance to take part in an inflatable version of the famous duel event, where participants will face off against their family and friends.
The meet-and-greet sessions and the inflatable arena will be available from 10am until 4pm on a first-come, first-served basis.
The whole event is free of charge, with visitors encouraged to arrive early as organises expect it to be a busy day.
Helen Atkinson, marketing manager at the Metrocentre, has expressed her delight at the Gladiators coming to the Gateshead shopping centre.
She 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 at the BBC, has expressed how important it is for the broadcaster to bring events like this to different parts of the country.
He 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.”
