It is that time of year again, lads! Get your glad rags on! Trinity Ball time! We have spent a couple of weeks getting this ball guide together for you, and we hope you enjoy our efforts! If you are a T-Ball virgin or a self-professed ‘veteran with three balls under your belt’, there’s something in here for you. We have got the pre-drinks, the style and the overall debauchery of the ball covered, and we have even included an interactive map for those who don’t know or can’t remember where the stages, drinks and secret sex-spots are at. Trinity is a mad place at the best of times. But Trinity Ball night –despite all the madness, the inevitable cold, and the awkward encounters with random people – will deliver some of the best memories of your college life. So drink, dance, be merry and enjoy your night!
