Clare College May Ball fireworks. Copyright Paul Troughton. 2005

I know the romance, since it's over,
'Twere idle, or worse, to recall;--,
I know you're a terrible rover;
But, Clarence, you'll come to our ball.

Our Ball ~ W. M. Praed

May Week is the climax of the University year and an ideal time to go punting. Due to demand our opening hours are extended over much of the period, including a period where we are open 24 hours a day. Please see the bottom of this page for details.

The best way to see the spectacular firework displays put on by the May Balls at Clare and Trinity on Monday 14 June and St. John's on Tuesday 15 June, is from a punt. We offered both chauffeured and self- hire services and offer Scheme members priority booking. We always run out of punts on May Week evenings. Book early to avoid disappointment.
