The ‘Marty Supreme’ Effect: 3 Ping Pong Tables To Level Up Your Garden This Spring

From Olympic-grade outdoor setups to £125 mini-tables, an Olympic medallist helps us pick the best buys for your garden.

With Marty Supreme hitting the big screen and London hosting the World Championships for the first time in a century, 2026 is officially the year of table tennis.

Once seen as a ‘basement sport’, it’s now having a serious renaissance thanks to Timothée Chalamet’s pencil-moustached protagonist. According to travel booking platform Bokun, Google searches for “table tennis championships” and “table tennis games near me” have increased by a whopping 5,000 percent in the past month.

But what if we want a go ourselves? As the weather improves (AT LAST) here in the UK, there’s no better time to start thinking about an exciting new addition to our garden spaces.

To help you avoid buying a “one-season wonder,” we asked Cornilleau – one of Europe’s leading brands for outdoor table tennis – for their best picks for every budget.

From The £125 ‘Space-Saver’ To The Pro-Grade Garden Setup

For the next Marty: Cornilleau 700X Performance Outdoor Table £1,199

For affordable family fun: Cornilleau 100X Sport Outdoor Table, £499

For mini games: Cornilleau Mini Indoor Table, £125

If you’re tight on space but still want to get involved, the Mini Indoor Table makes quick games easy. Compact and lightweight, it sets up in minutes and can turn a living room, office or bedroom into a temporary games zone (apologies to my co-workers in advance).
