  • About the event

    Held in historic Durham Castle, University College’s annual June Ball is one of the most highly anticipated events in the Durham University social calendar. The Ball has gained national recognition, having previously featured in Tatler’s ‘Bystander’, The Guardian’s ‘Top 100 Things To Do Before You Die’ and Mastercard’s ‘Top Events Money Can’t Buy’.

    The event runs every year with twelve stright hours of non-stop partying from 5pm to 5am, featuring dining in the great hall, music across multiple stages, fairground rides at the foot of the landmark Durham Cathedral, and thematic entertainment throughout the many rooms of the stunning Castle. 

    Generous sponsorship partnerships facilitate the running of this prestigious event, enabling the Committee to ensure that the evening lives up to the outstanding reputation it has developed over the years. Previous sponsors have included Red Bull, Tatler, Boots, Yorkshire Tea and Microsoft.

    I'm Zach, this year's Ball Chair for University College. I am absolutely committed to making this event the best June Ball in its 137 year history, as it will mark the final celebration for my four treasured years at Durham. If you can help contribute to this goal in any small way, I will be equally committed to delivering the most value we can for you in return. Thank you for considering us and we hope you take the unique opportunity to sponsor such a prestigious event of over 600 guests partying until dawn in a world heritage site.
