On Tuesday, June 25, Bishop Wordsworth's School (BWS) will run a hustings event - as in previous years.

The event will begin at 7.30pm, opening at 7pm for refreshments before it starts. 

Each candidate will start with an opening statement of approximately two minutes each. Then, they will go into questions for all candidates from the audience, before questions for each candidate specifically.

Following this, each candidate will be able to ask one question to another candidate of their choice. 

For those unable to attend, a teams call can be joined - you can find the link here.

BWS Politics Society's Caleb said: "We are hoping it will be a really vibrant debate, with lots of candidates here this year, and audience participation.

"And, we are hoping that the time at the end, where our candidates can ask questions, will mean the audience can see the qualities of each candidate."

Both the BWS event and St Thomas' Church event are free to enter.
