Some of the strongest men in the world are coming to Belfast this weekend.
That's because the Ultimate Strongman Masters World Championship is returning to the city.
The historic Crumlin Road Gaol is the venue on Saturday and Sunday (May 25-26) where 12 of the world’s most legendary strongmen will be battling it out for the prestigious title.
This family-friendly event is an incredible opportunity to witness first-hand some of the biggest names in the history of Strongman compete in what is being billed as the competition’s most star-studded line-up yet.
Last year’s champion Zydrunas Savickas is back to defend his crown, and he will come up against some stiff competition including previous world title-holder Mark Felix of Grenada, and the USA’s Ken McClelland.
Beginning on Saturday, the contenders will be split into two groups of six who will test their strength through a gauntlet of gruelling events including Truck Pull, Super Yoke, Car Deadlift Medley, and Eliminator.
The eight highest scorers will then progress to Sunday’s final, where they’ll enter a showdown to determine who will be crowned the Ultimate Strongman Masters World Champion.
The event kicks off at 1pm on Saturday, and reaches its conclusion at 5.30pm on Sunday.
Adult and child tickets can be purchased for both days or for a single day, and children aged four and under go free.
Parking is available close to the venue, and drinks and hot food will also be on hand.
Tickets are selling out fast and can be purchased HERE
