Trinity's Community Garden is a thriving, tranquil, nature-rich green oasis right in the heart of the city of Bristol. Together, we are building a resilient, connected and sustainable community.

'The growing in the garden is lovely and the sessions are very therapeutic and informative. It also appears to be a much-valued ‘sanctuary’ to the community in this inner city area of Bristol, and I would recommend them. It’s a wonderful use of what was once a very sad, decaying place.'' Eric

What we do:

- provide a space for health and well being for all the community to reflect, interact, grow

- deliver a range of educational workshops for children, families and local adults groups

- host a range of creative, diverse events responsive to our local community

- provide a safe, accessible space for everyone to enjoy

- showcase organic food growing techniques and grow medicinal plants, reactive to climate change

- offer volunteer opportunities for gardening and environmental education

The Garden hosts over 200 sessions and activities each year attended by over 600 partipants, with many attending regular weekly drop ins or workshops. The space also sees us hosting an annual Garden Party each May attracting an audience of 3,000 people.

See the Whats On area of our site for more info about events and activities in the Garden.

Nature & Play activities at Trinity

2019-2021

With funding from BBC Children in Need, Trinity delivered a three year programme of activities based in our Community Garden engaging, educating and connecting our local children aged 18 and under to a green space and to each other.

In the first year of the project, the garden team have worked in partnership with local schools and charities to welcome over 140 children to weekly Forest Schools and Gardening Days, as well as inviting families and friends from our local community to Summer Holiday Family Days.

Sessions are tailored to help support social and emotional development as many children and families who take part in the programme experience economic and social hardship.

During a Forest School/Gardening Day children take part in fire making, identifying plants, sowing seeds, and team building games as well as natural craft activities and free play in the garden.

Family Days, delivered in partnership with St Pauls Nursery & Children's Centre and Julian House charity, include storytelling activities, music workshops, natural craft workshops, insect hunts, and games

• 143 Children (aged 18 under) took part in 41 garden sessions and activities delivered in partnership with local schools (BS2) and charities
• 88% of children started to, or showed significant improvement in developing positive relationships
• 91% of children started to, or showed significant improvement in their self belief
• 87% of children started to, or showed significant improvement in their emotional well being

In 2019, ADF reissued their Mercury Prize-nominated 1998 classic, Rafi’s Revenge garnering ecstatic reviews and the messages within it seeming as relevant today as the day they were written. The group released their ninth studio album, Access Denied, in 2020 The album showcases ADF in full-spectrum mode; with tracks going from tough, jungle punk to meditative orchestras. With guest spots from Greta Thunberg, 47Soul, Ana Tijoux, and Stewart Lee, ADF continue their sonic opposition to the powers that be and kick harder and higher than ever.

Dance activities at Trinity

Moving Bristol

Moving Bristol is a two-year project 2019-21 by Bristol Dance Futures aiming to connect and increase dance activities across the city.

The project focuses on two key areas - developing dance practice and new and existing audiences and developing an ecology of dance across Bristol.

Three Dance Hubs will focus on the development of Dance within Health, Young People and Audiences and placing artists in residence across the city to inspire dance practice.

About Bristol Dance Futures

Bristol Dance Futures is a consortium of organisations and independent dance practitioners committed to making Bristol a place where everybody can move and be moved by dance, set up by in 2016 by Theatre Bristol, Pavilion Dance South West, Bristol City Council and independents, including dancer Laïla Diallo.

Between 2016-2018 the consortia undertook research and consultation with the sector, mapping Bristol’s professional dance network and carrying out research into the thousands of people who take part in and watch dance in the city.

Aims

• Nurture the talent of artists of all dance types

• Grow audiences and participation in dance

• Promote Bristol’s diverse dance identity

Consortia members 2020-21

Organisations: Arnolfini, Circomedia, In Between Time, Theatre Bristol, Trinity Community Arts.

Artists & practitioners: Gabrielle Cook, Deepraj Singh and Lauren Scholey

We welcome new artist representatives who reflect the breadth of Bristol’s practice and communities.

Trinity have been awarded a prestigious Bristol Life Award, coming first in the 2021 Arts category.

“A truly one-of-a-kind art space that this year engaged 60,000+ people across over 1,000 events and cultural experiences.” Judges, Bristol Life Awards

We were nominated alongside Bristol Old Vic, St George’s Bristol, Bristol Beacon, and Brave Bold Drama, who received a highly commended award for their achievements over the last year.

When the building closed due to COVID-19, our programme went online, featuring live streams and workshops. We teamed up with leading circus company Cirque Bijou to host a 'Day of Dance’ to celebrate what would have been Bristol Harbour Festival. We commissioned live experiences including: Social Muscle Club (in partnership with Shambala), Learning To Swim On An Ironing Board, and What Words Are Ours?, in partnership with The Gulbenkian Theatre (both BSL interpreted).

Partnering with St Paul’s Carnival, we live-streamed carnival in a UK first - and, with the support of Carnival Elders, commissioned a poem by Bristol poet Malaika Kegode. As well as this, we worked with community organisation Eastside Community Trust to distribute over 900 family activity packs to local school children and families.

We commissioned Split Ink Theatre Company to devise a new piece of work for young audiences. Artist Tink Flaherty was awarded a D/deaf/Disabled commission to create a new piece of digital work. Roxana Vilk’s Lullabies project, initially developed as part of our IGNiTE arts development programme, connected 100s of families across Bristol and beyond through online workshops.

We are so proud of the team who worked hard to adapt delivery over the pandemic and want to say a huge thank you to all our funders and supporters and, of course, everyone who took part in the programme and helped make the magic happen.

Locality, an organisation that supports community businesses to be strong and successful, came down to Trinity for a day to film a short video focusing on Trinity's role as a community arts hub.

"In a physical space when you’re enjoying something, whether you’re having fun just getting down, having a dance or making something and being really proud of that thing that you made – art is just quite magical". Emma Harvey, Trinity CEO

Featuring Trinity regulars Hype Dance as well as CEO Emma Harvey, the film shines a light on the range of community activities at the centre, from neighbourhood celebrations to accessible and affordable dance and music events, as well as nurturing emerging artists.

Trinity is one of the few remaining truly independent community arts venues in the city so it felt fitting to launch the film on Venues Day, 5th October 2021. To mark the film's launch, Trinity took over Locality's social media to celebrate the charity's role as a hub for community arts.

The film was part of a wider set of films showcasing the many great activities that take place across the community and voluntary sector. You can find out more about the work Locality do by visiting their website.

Across the evenings of 19th and 20th November, we invite some of the UK’s finest djs and sharpest dance music provocateurs to raise the roof for our final dance of the year.

Joining Ben UFO on the Friday night are Anz, Shanti Celeste and Toma Kami.

Anz is one of the breakout stars of the past year in UK dance music with her Loos in Twos EP on Hessle Audio followed by the launch of her OTMI label and the band new All Hours EP on Ninja Tune.

Peach Discs boss Shanti Celeste is surely one of the best DJs in the UK. Known for her contemporary U.K. takes on the classic Motor City sound combined with the visions of the early Techno pioneers, she is guaranteed to bring the heat the dance floor.

Warming up the boards on Friday night is Toma Kami who’s releases on Livity Sound and his own Man Band label have gained him a well earned reputation not only as an innovator and visionary producer but also a killer dj.

Saturday night sees a change in pace with Club Fitness, Laksa and Equinox joining Ben UFO on the decks.

Club Fitness is one of the hottest names in the London dance scene known for her high energy house and techno sets and occasional guest slots on NTS.

Laksa returns to his hometown of Bristol, bringing his signature cutting edge sound to the dance. If you’re familiar with his releases on Hessle Audio, Time Dance and Illian Tape, you’ll know what to expect.

Equinox is a legend of the UK Jungle scene having been there from the very start and releasing some absolute classics along the way. An incredible DJ, Equinox is going to rip the roof off.
