Bristol24/7 and Watershed recently joined forces for a similar event featuring all four metro mayor candidates:
“We’re really excited to be hosting the mayoral hustings in partnership with Bristol247,” says Clare Reddington, CEO of Watershed.
“Leadership from the mayor in championing, protecting and amplifying Bristol’s culture sector is hugely important – so we are keen to share their thoughts on this vital topic and it’s a privilege to be able to beam the event live from Watershed.”
Candidates will be asked a variety of questions by Bristol24/7 Editor Martin Booth and by audience members, with questions able to be submitted to editor@bristol247.com in advance.
Emails should have the subject line ‘Hustings’ and include your name and which area of Bristol you live in. Questions can also be submitted live on the night via YouTube’s chat function.
