A debate at the University of Central Lancashire’s Mitchell and Kenyon theatre, in Foster Building, on Thursday 9 June is open to anyone who wants to know more.

You will hear from both sides and have a chance to ask questions to either side about what they stand for and why they think we should stay or go.
