New Year, New Hobby

Visit the Saddlers Centre Ping Pong Parlour!

The Saddlers Ping Pong Parlour has seen hundreds of visitors, both young and old, enjoy playing, since it’s opening back in the summer last year.

The free to use, no booking needed ping pong parlour has all the equipment you need to just pop in and play.

It’s a fun activity and visitors of all ages and abilities have participated in a game or two with their family or friends on the professional tables located in the ping pong parlour.  There’re instructions on how to play and score located on the wall too!  So, there’s no excuse not to give it a go.

Open from 10am -5pm every day – pop in and try it for yourself.

Located opposite Costa on Park Mall.
