Festival of Debate









The Festival of Debate will take place in Sheffield in the run up to the next general election - with a series of panel discussions, debates, Q&As, artistic responses and keynote speaker events across March and April 2015. The festival aims to create a meaningful dialogue around key social, political and economic issues.

Sheffield Friends of the Earth is pleased to be taking part in the festival by screening Chasing Ice on Wednesday 4th March and Gasland 2 on Wednesday 18 March. Doors open at 6pm at the Union Street building, Union Street, Sheffield, S1 2JP. See Map. Please note that we cannot offer disabled access as the lift is not working at the moment. There is a flight of stairs to climb.

Friends of the Earth Regional Campaigner, Simon Bowens, will host the discussion after the screening of Chasing Ice.  David Burley from Frack Free South Yorkshire will lead the discussion after Gasland 2.
