Event Description

Aberdeen Open Debating Competition

King's College, Aberdeen

Saturday 18 October 2025 at 1pm - 7pm

For the first time since 2023, Aberdeen will be hosting our own debating competition in the historic King's College buildings. Teams and judges will be travelling in from around Scotland, England, and Ireland. With an organisational team including one of Ireland's best speakers, one of Northern England's best judges, and the best and brightest from multiple Scottish universities, this is sure to be a fun competition to start the year of debating.

For new members wanting to give debate a try, this competition allows you to compete without needing to travel down to Edinburgh, Glasgow or St Andrews.
