View allAbout This Event
Debate Night takes place at The Town Wall on Pink Lane in Newcastle Upon Tyne on 28 October 2026. Attendees are divided into proposition and opposition teams to argue assigned motions, with each side given time to prepare before delivering uninterrupted speeches. The evening covers three motions and concludes with a question and answer session for each side. Entry to the event is free, though RSVPs are requested to support the venue.
*Speak in public, analyse and think on your feet in a modest and friendly setting.* You are presented with a motion and assigned to either the proposition or opposition team independent of your actual position on the motion. After **several minutes of thinking** and conferring time with phones allowed, one person per team will **speak uninterrupted for up to 2½ mins** to argue their case. For each motion there are **two rounds** like this, then one question and answer for each side. **Three motions** are debated where usually at least one is lighthearted. *The event is free but please RSVP if you plan to attend and support the venue hosting us.* This event is cross-posted elsewhere.
