All the top England players will be competing along with plenty of emerging and established stars from around the world. Tickets for the event are now available online.

In addition a new Ping Hub will be established at the Great Northern Warehouse with 7 tables from 15 Jan to 29 Feb, with opportunities for local schools, workplaces, clubs, leagues and social groups to try out TT Kidz resources, beat the robot and attend master class coaching sessions. Further details will be announced shortly.

93% of children who participate in TT Kidz would like to play more table tennis following the programme, so if you’re looking to engage more juniors and start a new beginners’ session, TT Kidz could be just the tool to do this. Clubs can register interest here.
