The event brings together some of the south west's finest yoga teachers, performers and mindful practitioners in a series of mini workshops where each teacher will share their specialist knowledge in their field in fun, inspiring 30 minute sessions.

The day is designed to give you a taste of a wide variety of disciplines with people that have spent years mastering their craft, they will inspire you to develop your yoga practice or get inspired to begin one, help you try something you never thought possible or simply to move for a good cause.

Accompanying the day we have experienced massage therapists offering bookable sessions throughout the afternoon (at a separate cost to the ticket fee).

Cost: £25+BF per ticket (£15 addition per massage) 100% of proceeds go to charity.

Mothers, fathers and children learnt to sing lullabies from around the world at the Easton Community Centre workshop in October 2019.

'Lullabies' sharing at Trinity

Roxana is a British-Iranian artist with a background in physical theatre, film and music. In 2018 Roxana Vilk moved to Bristol from Scotland and started teaching English to refugee women at the Malcolm X Centre. After attending a drop-in for international parents at her son's school, she was inspired to use lullabies to bring communities together. Soon after this, Roxana applied to become an IGNiTE resident

“When I walked into Trinity I thought ‘Ok, this is home" Roxana Vilk

Our community-led approach is what made her chose IGNiTE over other residencies that were available in the area. Joining us gave her a sense of grounding that helped her kick-start her artistic work in Bristol. During her four months with us, she grew her idea from “seed” stage to full blown project.

Roxana developed “Lullabies” together with local communities by collecting, recording and sharing songs from the many cultures in Bristol. Here she was filmed by the BBC during a workshop at Easton Community Centre, delivered in partnership with Up Our Street.

The Trinity team members supported Roxana with project planning, producing and time management guidance. This supported her growth as an artist. Roxana also feels like Trinity’s networks and connections benefited her project. The IGNiTE residency also allowed Roxana to develop new skills and take artistic risks, allowing her to "get out of her comfort zone".

“There’s a deep respect for Trinity amongst artists, and an awareness that there is integrity in any work that is supported by the venue.”

With Trinity's support Roxana is continuing to develop “Lullabies” gathering songs with Bristol-based communities and running workshops culminating a “Lullabies” showcase at Trinity in 2020.

Finally, Roxana feels like IGNiTE really benefit marginalised communities in Bristol. Several people at the Trinity sharing said they had never attended a show or been involved in one before because opportunities are usually not communicated to them. Roxana believes the local engagement work Trinity does, makes it the most distinctive community arts provider in the area.

“If the Arts Council is all about prioritising access to the arts, supporting Trinity and more specifically the IGNiTE programme is a no brainer.”

Writer and historian Edson Burton, co-author of Vice and Virtue: A History of Old Market, leads a guided walk around Bristol’s Old Market. From industrialisation to industrial decline, from music hall to television, from cinema’s hey-day to sleazy continental screenings, from Conservative club to Communist party, from overwhelmingly white to multicultural, from church mission to secularisation, from thriving centre to neglected corner, Old Market is a barometer of Bristol and British history. Burton charts the fascinating journey with a range of anecdotes drawn from interviews with past and present residents.

Starting at The Stag and Hounds on Old Market and ending at Trinity Centre, where you can have a cuppa and listen to a playlist inspired by Trinity's musical history, this walk is free of charge to all participants.

Events start punctually and, out of consideration to other audience members and speakers, our policy is not to admit latecomers.

Meeting point: Stag and Hounds, 11:30am

His iconic Black and White Bristol collections documented life for residents during the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. The powerful images reveal tight-knit communities coming together to fight political uncertainty and aggressive redevelopment and showcase an unwavering positivity and togetherness in areas including St Paul’s and Barton Hill.

For his latest work, Bristol 2019: A New Kind of Community, Mark has returned to many of these areas, to document a growing community business movement through the eyes of several of the city’s thriving community-run businesses including Bristol Bike Project, Barton Hill Settlement, We can Make at Knowle West, Windmill Hill City Farm, Southmead Development Trust, Arnos Vale Cemetery and Bristol Ferry Boats.

This exhibition will be open to the public from 28th November - 5th December, between 9am - 5pm. Please come to The Trinity Centre Reception to access the event.

Support Trinity and help raise £5000 to install secondary solar panels and solar battery storage.

Following our 2015 Green Pledge to improve sustainability and reduce our environmental impact we have already raised funds needed to successfully install solar panels in 2015. Then, with the introduction of our cup deposit scheme in 2018 we reduced our single use plastic waste by 4-5 tonnes year.

Securing the funds to install secondary Solar PV alongside solar battery storage will see a reduction in the use of energy from non-sustainable sources and a significant reduction in energy bills - enabling us to invest more into our charitable activities.

Why we need your help

Community activity makes up over 60% of programming at Trinity, supported through free/subsided hire, enabling communities like Gerry’s Attic a weekly dance group for the over 55’s and The Rhythm of the Night a monthly club-night for adults with learning difficulties to find happiness and opportunity here.

I’m 75 and still dancing – this means so much in term of fitness, socialising and even mental fitness. This wouldn’t be possible without Trinity – who provide amazing spaces for classes” Adrian, participant Gerry’s Attic

Trinity has the backing of M&S ENERGY & Crowdfunder who have committed to supporting the most successful appeal by matching donations £1 for £1 - meaning with your support we could raise an amazing £10,000.

Rewards

By pledging to the Appeal you can bag yourself some great rewards, including a limited edition Trinity Hoodie, a night out on Trinity, a personalised poem,  your name hand painted on our supporters wall + much more.

How you can help

Our Sustainable Energy Appeal runs from Monday 18 Nov until Monday 16 December.

Support our appeal today by heading over to our Crowdfunding page crowdfunder.co.uk/trinity-sustainable-energy and making your pledge.
