Inspired by coming of age in the political backdrop of the last 20 years the album “is a mirror for what’s going on, reflecting back the way people are feeling” tender and fierce, abstract and full of classic rock energy. Featuring songs of protest that get the heart racing in joy; high on hope, and serious in their message. Proof, basically, that music speaks louder than words.

Please note this is a standing event.

Trinity Presents is our in-house programme of live music, club-nights, theatre, dance and community activity all reflecting the rich culture of the building. During lockdown, we are going to be bringing you a selection of this programme...but online!

This includes live streams from DJ’s and artists; online sessions with Tutors from our music making programme Making Tracks; in focus interviews with the facilitators of our community activities. There will be opportunities to learn more about the heritage of Trinity through our online archive, connect with artists who take part in our IGNiTE arts programme and learn more about activities you can do in your garden/home with Trinity's garden team.

Content will be shared on our Website and Social Media channels, so don't forget to like our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter and Instagram.

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. Therefore, we are continuing to liaise with city partners in our role as a comminity space, so the Trinity Centre can form part of a coordinated response to support those most vulnerable.

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)

Trinity is very much still here and we're working hard as a team to find ways to support artists to make work and get paid, through our projects and wider venue activity. We don't have all the answers, so if you're an artist in Bristol and have an idea that you would like to share with us, please get in touch. We might not be able to work miracles, but we're willing to try our best.

This is our call to our bigger brothers to see if there's anything you can do to help a sector under threat.

Would PRS and PPL consider suspending or delaying the reporting of licenses, for example? Perhaps there could be a strategy developed that looks at redistributing music royalties from those most established and successful artists in consultation with artists? Some sort of scheme that seeks to safeguard the future of those whose livelihoods have been suddenly severed, that could be supported and endorsed by those who may not in the short term need to draw on their royalty revenues so as to help ease the pressure felt by venues across the world? Standing up for music rights for the long-haul.

Whatever the mechanism, our sector urgently needs its more resourced partners to consider their strategy giving empathy, leniency and grace and providing practical support to grass-roots venues and creatives who are most in need and are at the coal face of this industry crisis. Let's come together to build some solutions.

Thank you, big love and stay safe.

Emma, CEO

Whether it be older people who are already isolated, families on low income, refugee communities or Bristol's rough sleeping population, there are many who for whom self-isolating is a luxury not a choice they can easily make.

In spite of everyone feeling precarious and uncertain, we've been hugely heartened by the many people getting in touch with us to express their concerns and offering to help and volunteer to support others.

Bristol City Council is already putting a plan together as to how to support vulnerable groups.

Trinity is liaising with city sector groups, including Voscur and Up Our Street, other community spaces such as Wellspring Settlement, agencies supporting vulnerable groups such as Caring in Bristol and In Hope, as well as national partners such as Locality to look as to how our building will play a part in this plan.

We will keep people posted via our website and mailing lists as these plans evolve. If you would like to register your interest in response to supporting in the delivery of this plan, you can register your interest via Bristol City Council's official registration page.

Thank you to everyone who is working to support those most vulnerable through this unprecedented global crisis. We will continue to do what we can help too.

Emma, CEO

The health and safety of the people using the Trinity Centre is our top priority. At present we remain open, but are reviewing this regularly. We are working with hirers and promoters on a case by case basis and taking steps to postpone and reschedule events. We will update everyone via our mailing list and social media channels, as well as providing a list of any cancelled or postponed events on our website.

To ensure continued activity at the Centre is conducted as safely as possible:

• We recommend Centre users use the hand sanitiser provided at Reception on arrival and exit. You can wash your hands with soap and water in the toilets.

• Common areas are regularly cleaned and sanitised by staff, including surfaces that are regularly touched such as door handles, accessible door button, and lift buttons.

• People involved in serving refreshments should take particular care to ensure hands are washed with antibacterial soap/gel and Centre users should use paper disposable cups.

• Centre users should suspend handshaking, hugging or other direct physical contact that are part of a greeting or activity.

We will continue to closely monitor Public Health England guidelines in relation to the Covid-19 situation, in order to respond as necessary and will keep people updated with the latest information available on our website. We reserve the right to act in accordance with our organisational assessment of risk and may therefore feel it is advisable to take additional measures where appropriate that, whilst may not proscribed as part of national guidance, may be identified by us as necessary in order to safeguard our people and our charity.

As a community Centre, Trinity is giving particular attention and consideration to the needs of high risk groups such as Older People, rough sleepers and people who may be immunocompromised. This includes: people with a respiratory condition such as asthma, those have a long term health condition, those who are in recovery from surgery and those receiving treatment for a life threatening illness.

We are liaising with our user groups and risk-assessing their activities. Our risk assessments will be updated in accordance with official government guidance. We will take additional steps where necessary and in consensus with our users. Any decision taken to suspend a group or activity will be made with the explicit involvement of those affected.

It is likely that, as the situation escalates, we may have to advise the majority of our users not come to the Centre. However, as part of our duty of care to the most vulnerable, we aim to continue to provide low-risk activities where possible, to support the most vulnerable members of our community.

We want to protect vulnerable people. This means balancing stopping activities to reduce infection alongside taking care to avoid pushing those most vulnerable into extended periods of isolation, for which they may not be prepared and which may have a detrimental impact on their mental and physical health. We are liaising with our community partners to develop a plan to provide low-risk support activities and exploring options for the redeployment of casual staff in order to maintain sufficient capacity to ensure Trinity can remain an open door for as long as possible for those who need us most.

Now more than ever we need to build our sense of what it means to be part of a community. Let's come together, in the ways we still can, look out for each other and keep each other safe.

Team Trinity - 2pm 16/03/2020

Sound on for this film of Let Us Dance....

Back last year we teamed up with Arnolfini and young female dancers to takeover institutional spaces. Running alongside the ‘Still I Rise’ exhibition, a large scale exhibition that documented women’s experiences and acts of resistance in the last 150 years, Let Us Dance invited young dancers from across the city to take over a space with Flash Mob style dances.

We will be continuing to programme dance activity throughout 2020 as part of the #MovingBristol Dance Hubs project. Keep an eye out on our website for activity you can get involved in, including Dance Classes for Women who have experienced or currently experiencing cancer.

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

"It is with regret that we have taken the very difficult, but ultimately inevitable and important, decision to cancel Mayfest 2020.

We’re gutted not to be able to share our programme with you this May. We were so looking forward to it. But we’ll be back. Until then, stay strong. And keep communicating."

Since graduating from Southampton University in 2017 with a 1st in BA Music, Making Tracks Tutor Bethany has been a working professional multi-instrumentalist, singer, composer, and the creative director/song-writer of her own artistic project, STANLÆY.

"I like to teach practical music making, and experimentation"

Bethany is an avid producer, producing and recording nearly all of her own music and videos, and is keen to inspire other young women to get into producing their own music. She has toured the UK with her band, and played festivals such as Glastonbury, Boomtown, and Shambala.

Her latest solo EP has recently been featured on BBC radio 6. She is currently working on her next new full length album. Bethany has been working professionally as a teacher since graduating, at schools, with trinity, and as a private tutor (she also teaches piano, viola, violin, guitar, harp and vocals.)

She is an advocate of young people finding their own voice (be it vocally, instrumentally or in musical production) and offers an informed but creative space for young people to explore this in.

The Sunday Sessions are a series of workshops for theatre makers in the city to meet, play and share their practice, explore ideas together and learn from each other.

SESSION ONE with Toby Hulse

Toby Hulse is a Bristol-based playwright and theatre director, specialising in work for family audiences and in educational contexts. He is particularly interested in the impossible and the daft.

This workshop will develop ideas and practices formed during the making of his show Luna, about how to find the theatrical stories in scientific and mathematical material. It imagines that we are in the early stages of devising a show called A Play About Nothing.

Participants are asked to bring material about the concept of zero, the less theatrically promising the better...

Each session will be led by a different local theatre maker. Places are limited so book in advance.

This is presented by the Wardrobe Theatre in association with Trinity.

In this workshop the group will complete a series of simple drawing, writing and interactive exercises.

Free to attend.

Due to the serious and evolving situation with Coronavirus, we have unfortunately had to make the sad decision to postpone this year’s RaveOnAvon. We will be back in May 2021, bigger and better, and ready to kick off the summer in our new location, with all of this uncertainty behind us.
We would like to invite any ticket holders to show their support at this difficult time, and roll their tickets over to next year’s event. For anyone not able to attend next year, we can provide a full refund. (Please note that due to the payments system it will take up to 10 working days for the refund to appear in your account.)

Rave on Avon 2021 will be Saturday 15th May.

We appreciate your support and understanding during these difficult times. #saveourscene

Stay safe
