Robots Live
Robots Live! is back for 2024 with action packed family shows. Teams from Robot Wars take to the arena in a series of battles, with the 110kg robots sending sparks and machines flying.
Dave Young, captain of Robot Wars Champions 'Apollo' says; "We're super excited to be coming back to Stoke and kicking off what is going to be an amazing competition. All of the other teams from around the UK can't wait to battle it out for a big cash prize, plus we have the excitement of having the TV cameras there as well.
The action takes place across three shows at the Fenton Manor Sports Complex, Stoke on Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th October 2024.
Gandeys Halloween Spooktacular
Gandeys Halloween Spooktacular is at Trentham Estate between 16 October and 3 November.
Organisers describe the show as: "A specially selected international cast of skeletons, vampires, Jack o'lanterns and not forgetting Circus Artistes, have been brought together for this year's sensational extravaganza.
"From the thrill acts to the big production numbers Gandeys are famous for, it's all here and you will be on the edge of your seat with excitement, rolling in the aisles with laughter, and hiding under your coats from the spooky thrills."
