+ What is this 'Enchanted Garden Ball' I’ve heard so much about?

The Enchanted Garden Ball is the Official Summer Ball for Exeter University students. Nestled in an idyllic lakeside venue the event brings together an eclectic mix of music, entertainment, immersive theatre and games to celebrate the end of the academic year and the official start to the summer. Set under the stars this is a wonderfully formal soiree on a mini festival site.
