Ping! Pong to the People
Ping! - the innovative public ping pong festival is returning to Birmingham and is now in its fifth year in the city. The popular outdoor table tennis festival returns to the streets and communities of Birmingham for a whole summer of activity, launching in the Birmingham Markets on Friday 26th June at 11am, the festival will run until the 31st August.
The tables are located in well known public places across the city with bats and balls supplied. Just pick up a bat from the side of the table and play!
Ping! is being delivered by Table Tennis England in partnership with Birmingham City Council and is funded by Sport England.
