Join us in a colourful celebration of the steaziest, the sexiest two decades, the sixties and the seventies. Two themed areas, the main room a dazzling disco dripping with delights and the second stage hosted by Father Funk's Church of Love, a playful tongue in cheek twist upon religion juxtapositioned with love, funk and sin, The trinity will be transformed into a kaleidescope of colour, ferociously funky, devilishly disco and a nawty night you won't forget!

This is a fancy dress affair....dress to impress

Having gone from strength to strength in recent years, most specifically with the TQD project and fresh off the back of his all night, all week tour, DJ Q is at the top of his game right now. Expect his classic blend of UK garage & bassline as he traverses everything from 130 to 140bpm over a 2 hour set.

Next up is a back to back Free Range have been looking to put on a show for some time. Two grime legends in the shape of Slimzee & Spooky join us - expect unreleased heaters and the finest in 140. Nico Lindsay joins them on microphone duties.

Last but most certainly not least is one of our favourite artists at Freerange - Swindle. Forever innovative and eclectic he always puts on a special show. Bubbly and different we’re delighted to have him on the bill. We expect this one to sell rapidly so don’t hesitate.

This is a safe space for us to play, move and rest together. We champion 'horizontality as participatory mode,' meaning you are free to lie down for all or part of the session. The format of the session is:

10.30am - 11am: space to arrive & stretch quietly together

11am - 12pm: check in & movement session led by Raquel Meseguer (Unchartered Collective / Lost Dog).

12pm - 12.30pm check out & space to rest before we go out into the world again.

Sessions take place: Monday 16th & Monday 30th October, Monday 13th & Monday 27th November.

We can offer this session free, because Trinity Centre have given us space to test the demand for a regular session for people with chronic pain. The space is wheelchair accessible with some parking available, and we welcome people with different mobilities (n.b. as a group with chronic pain, we are not able to assist people with very complex mobility needs, who need help to support their weight).

Car park closures, better building and a secured future

Thanks to help from the Heritage Lottery Fund and match funders, alongside donations gifted from the public we are finally at a point where we can put scaffolding around the building and begin to embark on major and much needed repairs to the stonework. Alongside the most damaged masonry we will be fixing the windows so the building will be cleaner and lighter.

Access to The Trinity Centre will stay the same but during the 45 weeks the scaffolding is up our car park capacity will be severely reduced so anyone visiting us should think about alternative parking or modes of transport.

Now we have got this far we are going to be raising the funds to complete works on all the masonry (not just the most severely damaged as we had planned). Fund-raising for this now will mean we ensure that Trinity stays open for future generations and by doing the extra work now means we can limit the impact both on the public and financially.

To celebrate Trinity's history we will be launching a series of events, talks, and courses in artisan crafts to compliment the works. You can  find out more about the project here. To keep up-to-date and informed about the project sign up to our mailing list at 3ca.org.uk/mail or follow us on Twitter and Facebook.

Works due to start 2 Oct for 45 weeks.

A series of three movement sessions (1st October, 5th November and 3rd December)

Dance maker Laïla Diallo will lead movement workshops at Trinity this Autumn. The sessions will begin with a gentle tuning in, warming up and offer opportunities to move together as well as to explore and expand our own dances. No dance training required, but playfulness and curiosity essential.

‘I'm interested in people bringing into the room what they love about moving and I'm interested in noticing what happens when we get together and we move alongside and with each other. I'm interested in softening boundaries around this and that… age, gender, ability, experience, and all the rest.’ - Laïla Diallo

You are welcome to join in any one or all of the three workshops. Open to all ages (Children must be accompanied by an adult).

It’s free but please book as places are limited.

Sunday 3 December 4pm - 6pm - Register here

Offered in partnership with Trinity Centre, the workshops are part of a wider choreographic research project initiated by Laila Diallo and supported using public funding by Arts Council England.

Laila Diallo is a Canadian-born, Bristol-based dance maker. Alongside independently and collaboratively devising work for live performance, Laila often works as movement director in theatre and opera. She also frequently works within the university and vocational sectors, with children, youth and community groups as well as with emerging artists and peers, through commissioned work and the delivery of workshops, classes, public talks and mentoring. Her most recent work, Something about wilderness and several attempts at taming beauty , was co-created with Mélanie Demers for Skanes Dansteater (Malmo, Sweden).

What a pleasure it was to meet and work with the new elders group in Bristol. Our work together comprised of sensory exercises, partner work and an exploration to our own relationships to dance. I think you would have to ask the participants how it was for them, but from what I saw there was something like a real curiosity about sensation and presence, inhabited bodies, thinking bodies, a hyper awareness and yet a directness, an honesty of approach and a committed attention. When they move it’s like the moment is now, capturing a moment, an appreciation of time allocated to dancing. All of this together creates such a nuanced beauty, not a young dancer hiding behind layers of doubt or various facades but a presence that knows its own power of self.

I was invited by Trinity to lead this session, you never know how this is going to go with a new group, different expectations, different abilities and experiences. I work with all kind of people and of course each group is different. In these last years working with 3 different elders groups both in Wales and Manchester. I love it. These groups have much to give and express. Of late, I have seen a fair few performance projects with older performers and often I’m afraid to say, the choreographers are getting it wrong. For me, the works are rife with misrepresentation and misinterpretation, it actually makes me really angry to see performers compromised. At some point I would like to embark on a choreography that is for older performers. Having more experiences with different groups contributes towards ideas and its true to say I’m inspired - but I would like get it right, pitch the right kind of work that says the right thing.

I am 45 years old - I like to think I could find ways to access a truth to a new work, even though the performers have several years more life experience. Find the right essence, the subject matter or frame of a work that allows performers to be free within that frame. I will think more on it.

I am French but was born in Switzerland. I am mixed race. I currently in Staple Hill, Bristol. I was born with schizophrenia. I love music especially writing and recording positive rap lyrics. I am currently unemployed.

I was referred across to Trinity by one of my college tutors at Access to Music. I had managed to get through the first year of the course and achieved a pass but it was clear I would really struggle with the amount of assignments and paperwork involved in the second year so they linked me in with Trinity as an alternative. I can now focus on my music without stressing about paperwork which is a really good for me.

The benefit’s of being on a music course at Trinity  are that I can work on my lyrics, music, beats and prepare my album without any pressure. I can take my time. I’m really struggling with my illness at the moment and have been experimenting with different dosages of medication. Sometimes I come in and am too drowsy to properly concentrate on my work. Dave and Al are always really supportive and assure me that I can use the session in whatever way best suits me at the time. It’s good to know they understand. That makes a lot of difference. I enjoy working on a 1:1 basis this means I can get more positive things done in a short space of time.
