Ping Tron

Are you ready to play some extreme UV ping pong at Bestival this year…?

At the rickety bridge between the ancient arts of mortal combat and our future dystopia lies the technoillogical miracle of PING TRON. A unworldly marriage of ultraviolent ultraviolet, the monastically-inspired regime of table tennis, PING TRON is a completely new phenomenon. The speedy, exciting game of ping pong played in the alien glow of UV-light is an unforgettable experience. It may yet be recognised as the greatest of the modern world’s inventions!

Ping Tron is played in a custom-built, light-proof arena and the only light within comes from UV bulbs. The walls, the floor and the ceiling are completely black. Inside is a table tennis table and some seating for spectators. The edges of the table, the net, the balls and the bats are marked with UV reflective paint. They glow just enough to make the game possible. It’s a fully immersive, totally captivating ping pong experience and we hope to see you in the glow of the UV for an action packed game!
