A May Ball is a ball at the end of the academic year that takes place at any of the colleges of the University of Cambridge. They are elaborate and lavish formal affairs, requiring black tie or sometimes white tie, with ticket prices ranging from around £100 to as much as £640 for a pair of dining tickets at Trinity. May Ball budgets (excluding VAT) generally exceed £100,000, although some are as high as £400,000 (St John's) or even more. The balls are held in the colleges, starting around from 6-9 p.m. and lasting until well after dawn. "Survivors photographs" are taken of those who last until morning. Other colleges frequently hold winter balls, such as the popular Selwyn Snowball, who recently had acts such Tinchy Stryder and Mumford and Sons headlining.

  • Il May Ball è un ballo di fine anno che si tiene ad uno dei collegi dell'Università di Cambridge. Sono delle feste molto formali, che richiedono un abito adatto, come lo smoking (black tie) o il frac (white tie). Si tengono durante la settimana conosciuta come May Week, che cade nel mese di giugno dopo il termine degli esami accademici; il riferimento nel nome al mese di maggio è rimasto per tradizione poiché originariamente i balli si tenevano nella settimana precedente agli esami, come tuttora accade all'Università di Oxford.
