For one guest at this year's St John's May Ball, May Week will end on a real high as the Ball Committee gives out a free pair of tickets to New College Oxford's Commemoration Ball, on Saturday 22nd of June.

Highly sought-after and selling at £360 a pair, this is surely the closest thing The Other Place comes to a Johnian-quality ball.

The randomly selected attendee will be informed a few days before John's to make sure that they can attend and for travel to be arranged for them and their chosen guest.
