BBC Question Time is coming to Warwick next week. The programme’s audience application form lists a Warwick edition on Thursday 29 October 2026, and anyone who lives in or near the town can apply to sit in the audience and put a question to the panel.

It gives Warwick people a chance to raise local and national issues in front of the panel. The venue and the panel haven’t been announced yet.

How to apply for the Question Time audience in Warwick

  • Online: fill in the Question Time audience form run by Mentorn, the company that makes the programme, and choose “29th October 2026 WARWICK”.
  • By phone: call 0330 123 9988.
  • Two questions: everyone in the audience is asked to come up with two questions, which the programme considers for the show.
  • Your views: the form asks how you voted and which party you support. The programme says this stays confidential and is only used to give the audience a balance of opinions.
  • Been before? If you’ve been in a Question Time audience in the past five years, the programme asks you to leave the place for someone else. People who applied before without success are welcome to try again.

When will I hear back?

The programme contacts the people it picks on the Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday before the show, so for the Warwick edition that means between 26 and 28 October. It gets more applications than it can reply to, so it can’t call everyone back.

Watching from home

Question Time goes out late on Thursday evenings on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, so look out for the Warwick edition on Thursday 29 October. Check the BBC’s listings for the exact time on the day.

The visit was first reported by Warwick Nub News. Thursday 29 October is in the half-term week: see Halloween in Warwick for what else is on, and our Warwick parking guide if you’re driving in for the evening.
