Gladiator Challenge Belfast – Unleash Your Inner Champion at Lorne Estate

Gladiators… READY! Step into the arena and take on the Gladiator Challenge, the ultimate test of strength, endurance, precision, and teamwork. This thrilling roped activity combines competition and cooperation, making it an ideal adventure for groups looking to push limits, build trust, and have fun along the way.

Whether you’re racing head to head to the top or working together to support your teammates, the Gladiator Challenge is guaranteed to bring out your inner champion.

Our activities are for private group bookings from the general public. In the Gladiator Challenge, two participants climb side by side, tackling a series of obstacles and elements as they race to the top. Every move tests your courage and determination, and only one can be first to reach the summit. Will you rise to the challenge?

Your experience begins as the group is brought to the activity site for an initial safety briefing and head to toe check (hair tied back, no loose clothing, appropriate shoes). Once ready, participants are fitted with helmets and harnesses before heading to the Gladiator Tower.

Here, the instructor explains how the Gladiator Challenge works, covering safety rules and climbing techniques before the real action begins.

The session can be run in two ways:

• Instructor-Controlled – Each participant climbs while the instructor manages the rope, similar to other roped activities.

• Group “Bell-Ringing” Peer Belay – The most popular format! The group is split in half and lines up in front of the Gladiator wall. One climber is tied in, and the rest of the group controls the rope together. The front person acts as the “bell ringer”, pulling the rope down as the climber ascends, while the rest of the team pulls the slack tight behind them.

This hands-on setup ensures the climber’s safety while keeping everyone involved and engaged. The instructor always maintains full oversight and ultimate rope control, taking over completely for lowering the climber.

The result? A fantastic trust-building activity where the group learns to rely on one another, communicate clearly, and share in every success.

The Gladiator Challenge also works brilliantly for participants with shorter attention spans, as the dynamic group format keeps the energy high and the focus constant.

In the Gladiator Challenge, two participants climb side by side, tackling a vertical obstacle course packed with ropes, beams, and holds as they race to the top. Each movement tests balance, agility, and determination and only one can be the first to ring the bell!

It’s high-energy, exciting, and ideal for friends, families, schools, or team building groups looking to mix friendly competition with teamwork and laughter.
