Clubs, workplaces, schools, shopping centres, sports clubs and community groups are all involved – and the list of locations even includes museums, hospitals and retirement villages.

Events are being held from sea level all the way up to England’s highest point – Scafell Pike in the Lake District.

Tournaments, taster sessions, open days, teachers versus students, trick-shot challenges . . . you name it, every kind of table tennis-related activity is on the menu – and there are even World Cup-themed tournaments inspired by England’s fantastic performance in Russia.

As well as clubs opening their doors to potential new recruits, Table Tennis England’s mass participation programmes are also well represented, with a number of Ping Pong Parlours, Ping! locations and Loop organisations all involved.

The main Table Tennis England event is in Milton Keynes, where Commonwealth Games medallist Maria Tsaptsinos and Paralympic star Aaron McKibbin will be challenging shoppers and showcasing their skills.
