Scarborough Table Tennis Centre

You won't find Scarborough Table Tennis Centre on the typical holiday itinerary, but if you're staying at one of the caravan parks dotted around town - Scarborough Camping and Caravanning Club is practically on the doorstep - and someone in your group actually plays, it's worth knowing this place exists. It's a proper competitive venue, the kind where serious players come to train and compete rather than somewhere tourists pop in for a knockabout.

The centre caters mainly to club members and those registered with the sport's governing bodies. If you're not among them, admission can be tricky to arrange, and you'll want to ring ahead before making the trip into central Scarborough. It's not set up as a casual drop-in attraction.

That said, if table tennis is your thing - or your kids are keen club players - having a facility like this within spitting distance of Prospect House Farm Glamping or Cayton Bay Holiday Park means you're not missing out on practice during a caravan holiday. The equipment is the real deal, the tables are well-maintained, and the standard of play you'll witness is genuinely high.

For the rest of us? Scarborough's sea front, amusement arcades, and beach are ten minutes away and will occupy the time far better. Unless you've got a paddle in your hand and serious ambitions, give this one a miss.
