A ping pong exhibition is opening in Hoxton tonight

Hoxton-based gallery KK Outlet is asking artists to dispense with traditional canvases and channel their creativity onto ping pong bats instead. The exhibition is the third instalment of The Art of Ping Pong - the gallery's annual event where illustrators turn those boring old paddles into works of art to be auctioned off in aid of Children in Need. The launch party is tonight (November 5) from 7-9pm, where you can see the designs and show off your ball skills to the funky sounds of a ping pong-themed playlist. 

'The Art of Ping Pong' is on at KK Outlet, 42 Hoxton Square, N1 6PB. November 5-25.
