About this event

Calling all Ping Pong Ninjas: Ping Pong is back at Midsummer Place!


In partnership with Table Tennis England you'll find the Ping Pong Parlour, located between LEGO and the frog clock, opposite Next Beauty & Home.

Everyone is welcome and play is FREE at the Ping Pong Parlour. Bats are available on tables and balls can be purchased from a ball machine inside the parlour for 20 pence per ball (accepts 20 pence coins only).


Alternatively, if you would prefer your own set, bats and balls are usually available from Sports Direct within Midsummer Place.

The Ping Pong Parlour will be open during centre opening hours, for more information on our opening hours, please click here


So whilst you're shopping, come in and have a game (or two) to show off those ping pong ninja skills.


In the unlikely event the Parlour isn’t open, there are no bats and balls, or if you need to make us aware of anything then please ask a member of the Midsummer Place team, easily identifiable in branded uniform on the mall. Alternatively you can call us on 01908 557008.



Love Ping Pong? We think you'll love StreetTT:
Tables and players thrive when activation occurs around tables and people feel welcomed into a community of like-minded individuals.


So, what is StreetTT?

  • Started in 2020 by two programmers just looking for a game of Table Tennis, StreetTT unites all players in a single competition, now over 20 cities in Europe.
  • StreetTT is the first ever mobile and web application to connect urban table tennis players into a worldwide online table tennis league. The StreetTT app gives players whatever their ability a way to create and attend user generated meetups which convert the existing landscape of public and private outdoor tables into a network of exciting match and event venues.
  • There are no fixtures: play on any table, at any time, against any player!
  • StreetTT is community moderated so that club and city moderators can create one off tournaments and award the results from these competitions.
