Last night, an ambitious theme was tackled successfully; exquisite attention to detail brought ‘The Uninhabitable’ to life. Jesus’s greatest asset and challenge was the enormous space that had to be filled, but attractions were well spread throughout the six environments to guarantee that you never had to wander far for a bite to eat or a drink, and queues were kept to a minimum. Each environment was atmospheric; from the fake snow of the ‘Arctic’, to the burning cars in the ‘Wasteland’, guests could immerse themselves into each form of wilderness.

A strong lineup of big artists, including Coasts, Clean Bandit and Jack Garratt, performed throughout the night – ensuring that something for everyone's musical tastes was covered. We particularly enjoyed B & the Jukeboys’ covers of feel-good hits, but Coasts were the highlight of the night. By midnight the main stage was packed with people and energy. The ‘Outer Space’ stage was also graced by comedian Katherine Ryan, whose wit and humour certainly lived up to her reputation.

Even a sudden downpour did not deter people from enjoying the silent disco at the ‘Centre of the Earth’, which if anything was made more enchanting by the contrast of rain to the artificial flames that circled the courtyard. This environment contained a mix of classic attractions, such as the casino, and the more unusual virtual reality headsets which helped Jesus to stand out from other May Balls.

The wide open spaces were packed with exciting attractions – where most Balls might host a single fairground ride, Jesus sported miami, dodgems and a thrilling roller coaster simulator. With such a large venue to explore, it could be easy to lose yourself, but each environment was well signposted, and many cheerful staff were on hand to direct guests.

The food also deserves a special mention for its quality, quantity and variety. We were treated to Fins & Trotters’ fish and chips, Aromi’s lasagna and ice cream, and Anna Mae’s Mac ‘N’ Cheese, to name but a few. Practically every stall had a vegetarian option, and kept serving late into the night. The drinks were colourful, plentiful and well themed in each of the areas. On offer were cocktails, G&Ts, flavoured vodkas, beers, ciders and more. Professional wine-tasting catered to even the most ignorant of connoisseurs.

For those who wanted a chance to chill away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the ball, the EY Igloo was the perfect spot. Guests could lounge on bean bags to a background of relaxing live music, with a warming curry or bacon butty in hand.

All in all, it’s hard to criticise this ball. In fact, the Jesus committee should be very proud of having put on a near-perfect event. The attention to detail and effort which had gone into the theme zones was beyond anything we had ever experienced before. Each and every section of the event felt like a miniature May Ball in itself; even when the sun began to rise at 5am, we still felt as if there was more to explore. The sheer scale of the Jesus May Ball was truly an uninhabitable environment: next year’s committee certainly have a lot to live up to in conquering this year's wilderness.
