Record Breaking Table Tennis

If you are looking for something a bit different to do on the bank holiday, the Brighton Table Tennis Club is hosting an event called Record Breaking Table Tennis at the Brighton Dome. It is happening on Monday, 25 May 2026, and it is designed as a way to wrap up the Brighton Festival. The main draw here is the attempt to break actual Guinness World Records, and they are actively looking for people to help them make that happen. It is not just about watching, though; the organisers are encouraging attendees to get involved and see if they can help set a new record.

The event runs from 14:00 to 19:00, and it is set up as a drop-in session, so you can stop by whenever suits you during those hours. The Corn Exchange at the Brighton Dome is the venue, located on Church Street. They have set up open access tables for anyone who wants to play, regardless of skill level. It is a pretty relaxed setup, with music provided by young DJs throughout the afternoon. It is essentially an open, inclusive space where you can just turn up, grab a paddle, and play a few games.

It is worth noting that this is a free event, so there is no ticket cost to worry about. The atmosphere seems geared towards being quite family-friendly, with the organisers aiming for a mix of ages and abilities. You will likely see a range of people there, from families with children to older residents, all just using the tables. If you are in the area and want to spend a few hours doing something active without any pressure, it is a straightforward option for the afternoon.
