NSW 2026 Gladiator Games

August 14, 2026 - August 16, 2026

Are you ready to be part of the 300, descending on the great area of Essex?
Steeped in Roman history, Colchester will play host to

THE GLADIATOR GAMES

Friday will see the Gladiators arrive, and don their finest Toga (provided) to take on Colchester’s finest establishments. Starting with a freshener at the Scholar’s favourite on site establishments, followed by events littered around the city.
We intend to put on a variety of activities through the day, so plan to arrive early.

Saturday is the day that the men are selected to represent their army. Facing other warriors in fierce battle to be claimed victor. Your men should be prepared for Football, Basketball, Squash and the other usual sports. The legendary FATMAN competition will be back bigger and better than ever. You will also engage in Chariot Racing, and spear throwing, alongside archery, with the last competition being the fan favourite – TUG OF WAR!

The evening sees us take to the Gladiatorial arena for the presentation of the finest warriors, and to have the team claimed as victor. The events and entertainment planned we’ll keep as a surprise… for now!

Lastly, with the victors leading, we all will group as the 300 to take on the final night out.

All food from Friday evening will be included. Those arriving on Thursday will have their Thursday evening meal covered and Friday Breakfast and Lunch.
