A Balloon Debate!A free-for-all debating event where our panel of debaters must compete for your vote each round or be voted off stage!For the nights events we will be asking ourselves what do we think is the most likely to occur over the course of 2026 pulled from a recurring lists of things that may happen in 2026.sneak peak at a couple of predictions sitting in our crystal ball this year includes a return to the moon and a return to peace in eastern Europe.WHAT IS A BALLOON DEBATE?A light-hearted debate format which sees a panel of 5 or 6 debaters go head to head to stay in the balloon over a series of rounds in which panellists are voted off one at a time until only the winner remains. Normally, they are assigned a celebrity figure to represent, but anything goes and in past debates, speakers have represented everything from terrible Christmas gifts to the Seven Sins.WHAT IS THIS ONE GOING TO BE ABOUT?Predictions for the year to come - not all of the possibilities (that would take way too long) but 5 or 6 - specifically selected from a range of tabloid, magazine and blog prediction lists.HOW WILL IT WORK?Our panellists will be challenged to debate each other in a range of different styles each round, including:- only being allowed to talk up their prediction in round 1- only being allowed to talk down the other predicitions in round 2- Q&amp;A with the audience in round 3(where you get involved)- freestyle debate in the final roundA blend of comedic timing and critical thinking (aka wit) will prove vital as they will be expected to make well thought-out arguments, but - since it is a social - will most likely be judged by how entertaining you, the audience, find them.VenueOur venues serve food and drink (both alcholic and non-alcoholic)Please do not bring external food and drink on site - you WILL be asked to throw them away

We will then give you a platform to lead by example in our monthly debates, that are free to attend and open to all, so you can show those in search of a more civil way to examine our differences what it really means to be a great debater.\nWe provide 2 types of events:\nPublic Speaking and Debate Training workshops - Instead of inviting guest speakers to sit on our debate panels, we train our members to defend the competing perspectives shaping the debate in their own words and develop the skills that allow our members to tackle any topic and find the arguments for any side.\nPublic debates - Every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month we debate issues that divide public opinion, which this year ranged from inducting Ukraine into NATO and deposing Boris Johnson to falling UK birth rates and fake news. Topics are expressed not as a question, but as a proposal that the audience must vote to accept or reject after hearing all the arguments"
