Garden Sessions

Working with some of the best artists and promoters in the city, our Garden Sessions bring you a series of socially distanced events in a way you've never experienced at Trinity before, in a new outdoor venue on our historic grounds.

We are pleased to bring you a mind bending evening celebrating the second album from Bristol-based experimental three-piece, book your table now*

My Octopus Mind

After an explosive 2019 which saw the release of their spectacular debut album ‘Maladyne Cave’ and two subsequent DIY European tours, Bristol-based experimental three-piece My Octopus Mind are back again with their second studio album ‘Faulty At Source’.

Since their conception in 2017, the band have developed a wild form of experimental rock using balkan rhythms mixed with heavy psychedelic post-punk, wonky riffs and moments of haunting grace. All of this is delivered with a subversive approach to songwriting at its heart; and this album is no different.

(Please note this is an outdoor event, under our new socially distanced stretch tent venue. This show has a limited capacity and all tables are sold in advance. Wrap up warm and enjoy)

*Tables are for up to 6 people (adhering to government guidelines). You'll be able to choose your own table on arrival however, to avoid the potential spread of Covid-19, we do ask that once you have selected your table you don't change your mind.

Trinity Presents Garden Sessions. Design by Adam Menzies

Drum roll please… We are ready to welcome you back music lovers! In a specially erected tent in the historic grounds of Trinity, we will be running weekend sessions throughout the Autumn and we cannot wait.

Trinity Presents Garden Sessions will run throughout October, launching its first weekend with Bristol's experimental trio Waldo’s Gift (Oct 16), Livity Sound's Hodge & Danielle (Oct 17), and Dubkasm meets Ashanti Selah (Oct 18).

With Saturday & Sunday being powered by Sinai Soundystem.

“We cannot wait to welcome our music-loving audiences back to Trinity and have worked hard to make sure that we can provide a safe space for our audiences to come and enjoy what they love most - music. We cannot wait to bring well-loved artists, from Bristol and beyond, back to Trinity.” Jamell Ackford, Venue Manager

Tickets go on sale Sep 16, 10am.

Join an evening of entertainment and games at this one-off Summer Camp special Social Muscle Club!

On Thursday 27th August the club will happen online and in partnership with Shambala Festival. This SMC will transport you from your own home to your favourite summer camp. Featuring live performances from Camp Fit, Megan Clark-Bagnall and Wilfredo, compered by Annabelle Holland, and with an after-party hosted by DJ Dr Fly and special guest appearance by Annette Curtains, the club promises good old-fashioned British holiday fun, laughter and new friends, as everyone comes together to flex their social muscles.

At one of these clubs you’re invited to grab a drink, a socially-distanced friendly buddy, join a Zoom call, and take part in a simple sharing game where everyone offers something they are willing to give, and makes a request for something they’d like to receive. These things can be concrete and practical but also abstract, or relationship-focused. Fresh bread, tax return support, a tattoo, a holiday apartment in Costa Rica, a sofa, cash, a shoulder to cry on. The giving and receiving games in small groups are punctuated by performance, music, and surprises. The atmosphere is celebratory!

Grab a buddy or join in alone. All are welcome.

This event will happen on Zoom. Tickets are free but you must register in advance by clicking on the book tickets link on the left-hand side.

You will need to register each device you want to join the Zoom call but more than one person can join the event via the same device (bubble buddies welcome!)

They have been likened to mainstays of the UK’s musical landscape and embrace the complimentary comparisons. Frankie has an uncanny ability to weave thoughtful lyrical imagery with the everyman brilliance of The Streets while boasting disarmingly smooth vocals reminiscent of Loyle Carner. Harvey Gunn’s technical prowess and boundary-breaking innovation on the buttons have drawn deserved parallels to Mura Masa and MJ Cole.

After building a significant streaming audience over the years, Frankie Stew & Harvey Gunn embarked on their first headline tour in 2017. Their shows sold out on both ends of the country – namely London, Brighton, Bristol and Manchester.

At the end of February Frankie Stew & Harvey Gunn released their latest album 'Breathing Exercises'. Recent singles have been supported by Annie Mac 'New Names', DJ Target (1Xtra), Huw Stephens (Radio 1) & Steve Lamacq (6Music). 'Breathing Exercises' has amassed over 5.5m streams (currently at over 250k streams per week) and has already added over 10k followers & 250k monthly listeners to their profile with editorial support via Lofi Hip-Hop, dazed, Grime Shutdown & Conscious.

This event has moved to SWX. All Trinity tickets remain valid.

Please note, this is a standing show

Hello to all ticket-holders and I hope you are managing to stay safe and as happy as possible during this unpredictable time.

Whilst I am literally desperate to return to gigging the moment I can, I’m sorry to announce that that is not going to be possible this year. Looking at all social distancing requirements and balancing the safety of everyone involved, we have had to take the difficult decision to move Autumn 2020 shows, many of which had been rescheduled already from this spring, now on into Spring 2021. Nobody is more gutted than me but I believe it would be irresponsible to resume touring until I can be sure that the safety of audiences and venue staff is assured.

I hope that you all understand my position and if you have tickets and can afford to do so, please hold on to them. As always, thank you for your support and I hope to see you again down the road when we are able to sing together again safely.

The safety of the people using our Centre is our top priority. We are currently closed for public events and gatherings. However, Trinity is many things to many people.

Trinity has been and will continue to closely monitor Public Health England guidelines in relation to the Covid-19 situation, in order to respond as necessary.

Advice for the Community

We would urge individuals follow Public Health England guidance:

Anyone with a fever or persistent cough should stay at home for 14 days. Anyone who lives with someone displaying Coronavirus symptoms should also do this. People who have to isolate themselves should ask others for help. Everyone should stop non-essential contact with others. (16/03/2020)

If you have symptoms of coronavirus infection (COVID-19), however mild, do not leave your home for 7 days from when your symptoms started. (15/03/20)

People with fever or 'continuous' cough are being told to self-isolate. (12/03/20)

People with symptoms are no longer required to call NHS 111, as the system is under strain, but are instead urged to look for information on the NHS website and 111 online, by using the online symptoms checker here.

Past versions

Cafes, pubs and restaurants must close from Friday night, except for take-away food, to tackle coronavirus 20/03/2020

Public Health England people should avoid places like pubs, clubs and theatres. (16/03/2020)

We are advising people not to attend the Centre unless it is essential. (16/02/2020)

We are taking extra steps within the venue including providing hand sanitiser and signage across the site, staff briefings, as well as actively liaising with any identified higher-risk groups and risk assessing specific activities. (15/03/2020)

Following government advice and for the safety of you and your families, all of our events are on hold until further notice. We hope that our summer festivals & events will still be able to go ahead on the dates as planned, however, if they are rescheduled, we will let you know as soon as we know ourselves. We have no way of knowing what will happen next as the global events continue to unfold.

Please hold on to your tickets as new dates and transfers will be offered if and where necessary, like yourselves, we have no way of knowing what restrictions will be imposed on us by the government, so please allow us time to come back to you. Once we are given the green light for holding events then we will work with the venues to find you new dates if applicable. You will be the first to know of any further news.

First and foremost, the human cost of the virus is undeniably devastating, but secondary to this, the social and economic challenges ahead are enormous. The leisure and entertainment industry, in particular, has ground to a complete halt and it’s highly possible that some clubs, event organisers and festivals will not survive due to being unable to trade. Rest assured, Reggae Tots will still be here for many years to come, but we will need your support and loyalty to get through.

So do hold on to your tickets and do bear with us while we do our very best to look after you guys who make it all possible, our amazing customers.

Lots of love,

RT HQ xx
