The Prudential Hong Kong Tennis Open 2026 is offering visitors more than on-court action, with its free-to-enter Tournament Village at Victoria Park featuring interactive sports games, art installations, workshops and a local market throughout the event.
Open to the public from Nov. 2 to 8, the village is designed to bring tennis closer to fans and families through a range of activities and entertainment.
Among this year's highlights is a special collaboration with the British children's book series "Mr. Men Little Miss", bringing limited-edition tournament merchandise and themed photo opportunities to the venue.
The merchandise collection includes embroidery patches, acrylic charms in six designs, including a secret edition, inflatable charms, flight tag keychains, T-shirts, caps and shoe bags. Visitors can also take photos with five characters–Mr. Bounce, Little Miss Sunshine, Little Miss Hug, Little Miss Wise and Little Miss Brave–dressed in special tennis outfits. The merchandise is available in limited quantities while stocks last.
Chinese contemporary artist Fang Lijun also made his debut at the tournament with an environmentally themed artwork made from plastics, fibres and metals collected from beaches. The work offers a new interpretation of his signature bald-headed figures.
Fang collaborated with Lalique, the tournament's Official Trophy Sponsor, in July to create the crystal artwork Yawning Man 2.0. The French crystal brand, established in 1888, has sponsored the tournament's trophy since 2016.
Sports enthusiasts can also try pickleball at a dedicated zone, where professional coaches and staff will be on hand to guide participants of all skill levels.
The Hong Kong Ace Market will bring together eight booths featuring local creative brands and handmade products inspired by the city's culture. Visitors can explore tennis-themed souvenirs, including ceramics, jewellery and baked goods, as well as take part in workshops to make their own luggage tags, coasters and lamps.
Other attractions include interactive games at title sponsor Prudential's booth, such as a golf chipping challenge, a one-on-one drone soccer battle and a tennis ball claw machine. K-Swiss, the Hong Kong, China Tennis Association's Official Apparel and Footwear Sponsor, will also showcase its latest tennis products at a pop-up shop.
The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust's JC Fit City initiative will return to promote physical activity and encourage residents to incorporate exercise into their daily routines in line with the World Health Organization's recommended weekly activity levels.
A giant screen at the village will broadcast live matches from the stadium, allowing visitors to follow the action while taking a break from the courts. Food stalls and beach chairs will also be available.
Prudential customers can redeem an exclusive digital voucher for a hot dog and soft drink combo at HK$80, discounted from HK$120. The offer is valid from Nov. 2 to 8, on a first-come, first-served basis and while stocks last.
