Blind Debate Social Night! - Whitechapel Debates

Every 3 months we have a magic 5th Tuesday which lets us host socials with a range of event formats. Join us for a fan favourite BLIND DEBATE.

After announcing our motion for the first time our speakers will be given 30 minutes WITH NO INTERNET to prep their arguments for you the audience. They will fight hard for your vote and do their best to answer your questions in the audience Q&A round.

While our speakers prep we will be running our quickfire debates. A series of short 2 minute debates where anyone and everyone can volunteer to show off their skills (or just give it a go if it's your first time with us) arguing for a range of topics like:

Cats vs Dogs

Computer games in the olympics

Vegatables are tastier than fruit

Everyone should go to sleep when the sun sets to save energy

etc.

Once our teams have had 30 minutes to prep our main event will begin with a simplified debate format and full audience Q&A so you can get as involved as you like.
