We are so excited to announce that the triennial St John’s Commemoration Ball will be returning on the 27th June 2026!

✨ Wish You Were Here ✨

Inspired by the typical postcard phrase, this theme promises a summer night of celebration and enjoyment which will be remembered for years to come. Whether it’s snapping selfies under twinkling lights in the gardens, or saving your ticket and wristband for a scrapbook, or just absorbing every magical moment; this will be the Oxford night everyone is talking about! 

As is tradition for Oxford Commemoration Balls this will be a white-tie event. 🎩 Dust off your best ballgown, suit, tiara, and gloves, and get ready for one of the most glamorous nights of your life! 👑 More information regarding dress codes, and our partnerships for rent/ buy discounts will be released soon.

Prepare for a once-in-a-lifetime night of:

·     🥂 Delicious food and flowing drinks 

·      🎡 Thrilling fairground rides

·      🎷 Live music to keep you dancing all night

·      🕺 A silent disco in the early morning

·      🎉 And SO much more!

And of course, if you make it through the night there will be the famous Survivors’ Photo and breakfast!
