May Ball

ABOUT THE BALL

Stretching back to 1888...

...the annual St John’s College May Ball is one of the most lavish end-of-year parties around. Spanning the length of the College’s historic courts, the ball features dozens of musicians, all-you-can eat food & drink and a world-class firework display. Famously, the theme is kept a closely-guarded secret until the night itself.
