BBC Radio 4 are looking for local people ideally in their twenties or thirties to take part in a Brexit debate on Wednesday 12th December. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Throughout December, Radio 4 audiences will be hearing the opinions of people in Britain’s border towns to find out about their hopes and fears over Brexit. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

On December 12th, the team will be in Wrexham to hear from a live studio audience what’s on their minds as the Brexit deadline approaches. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The team says: “We’re looking for people in their twenties and thirties from both sides of the Wales/England border. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

People from a wide range of backgrounds, with differing views on politics and on Brexit, who are willing to talk about their hopes and fears and how positive/negative they feel both about Britain leaving the EU and about the exit deal the UK negotiates.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The debate is being held at Tŷ Pawb on 12th December, and doors are 6:30-7:15pm with the debate kicking off at 8pm to be recorded live. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

As a bonus ‘there will be hot drinks and mince pies before the debate’. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Admission to the recording is on a first-come, first-served basis, and on a ticketed basis. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

To apply for tickets you need to decide if you are attending as a Remain or Leave supporter to ensure a balance in the audience – once selected you can apply for a maximum of two tickets – further details and the application is on this BBC webpage. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
