"Fuck Buttons are the kind of act we would've loved to have hosted at Simple Things; loud, layered electronica with enough abrasiveness and attitude to give their music an edge that most acts could only crave. As a result, over the course of three records they have managed to unite electronic music purists and fans of experimental guitar music alike with all their releases exclusively being released on the label arm of All Tomorrow’s Parties.

Their recent record Slow Focus was another incredibly solid showing and featured Crack Magazine’s track of the year, The Red Wing, an utterly insatiable slice of multi-faceted noise. With the wonderful acoustics and grand surrounding of Trinity providing the setting, expect a sound high on intensity and volume from one of the most innovative acts in the modern music spectrum."

A new access ramp has been created for the new reception area with surface improvements to improve overall accessibility.

This former converted church - now a community arts centre and live music venue - has been a focal point for the cultural and community activities in Old Market Quarter for many years. The building renovation will help to provide a second large hall space in the upstairs of the Centre, suitable for a range of activities including dance, performance, meetings, conferences, weddings and more.

Trinity Community Arts, the charity running the Centre, are working to develop activities and youth training provision ready for the works completion, due February 2014. Once the works are completed, there will be a final celebration event, to showcase the potential uses of the newly improved space.

A new reception area is almost complete with a new heating system installed – a sprung wooden floor, lighting and drapes are due for installation in the upstairs hall space to make it suitable for activities such as conferences, dance and fitness and performance. There will also be a second, smaller, hall space suitable for IT classes, community meetings and smaller functions.

As you can see from the drawings from 1977 by architect George Ferguson show that the ambition to redevelop the Trinity Centre for decades. The 1993 annual report and 1994 annual report from TCA predecessors The New Trinity Community Association also outline plans for Trinity renovation works.

Thanks to support from funders including Big Lottery Fund and Ibstock Cory Environmental Trust, these past ambitions are now becoming a reality.

Watch this space for news about our official relaunch event in the new year.

To book the Centre for an event, meeting or function for 2014, get in touch with the Trinity Office on 0117 935 1200 / info@3ca.org.uk or visit the website www.3ca.org.uk

Bristol 's very own 9-piece women's band  have recently released  their first EP in 20 years following their reformation. Now signed to Jelli Records, Meet Your Feet will be performing tracks from the "Unfinished Business" EP at the Trinity, Bristol on Saturday 22nd February.

People who remember the band and who have seen their fantastic recent gig at the Thekla will know of their infectious music based on funk, soul, jazz, Latin and pop influences.  
The band was originally formed in 1987 and quickly became one of Bristol ’s top bands. Meet Your Feet have a fantastic track record including several European tours and gigs at all the prestigious festivals such as WOMAD and Glastonbury.

The 9-piece will be playing their original, highly danceable music at the Trinity. The songs are dynamic with tight harmonies, catchy sax riffs, infectious percussion and spot-on lyrics, making it almost impossible to stop your feet from dancing.

And of course, the EP itself will be on sale at the gig.

Meet Your Feet will be joined by The Minke Whales , a Bristol five-piece formed in 2009 by Edinburgh singer songwriter Stuart Reid (formerly of Shifty Disco Record’s band, Seagull Strange), bassist Neil Hughes, banjo player Tim Moore, drummer Chris Mapp and latterly singer Elle Ashwell when they discovered their collective love of recording music in allotment potting sheds.

Special Guests for the evening will be Wolfhound, all female trio who play their own brand of indie-folk overlaid with soulful harmonies.

"In 2013, ten years on from their debut album, British Sea Power are hitting their stride. New album Machineries Of Joy is a creative high, a superbly composed, multi-stylistic tour de force. Beautifully mechanised rhythms sits alongside wind-blasted Bronte-rock cinematics. Brain-bent garage thrash hurtles in.

BSP have played numerous striking shows: atop the Great Wall Of China and at London’s Natural History Museum. At Jodrell Bank and at London’s Czech Embassy. On the Scilly Isles and on Arctic islets. Down a Cornish slate mine and at the Chelsea Flower Show" and now adding The Trinity Centre to the list this is one not to miss.

Stunning location, nice opportunity to get married in local area

It is a venue I've always imagined having my civil partnership in

It would be such a fantastic venue

Those wishing to have a religious based ceremony will no doubt carry this out in their temple/place of worship and then come to Trinity for their party

Having ceremony and reception under one roof would be a great idea

Yes yes yes! Such a brilliant vibrant place; perfect for a diverse wedding! I'd happily get married there!

What's the difference between a religious marriage and a civil marriage or civil partnership?

Marriage in England and Wales is recognised in the forms of both civil and religious unions. There is a distinction between religious marriages - conducted by an authorised religious celebrant - and civil marriages/partnerships - conducted by a state registrar. Civil marriages may not take place in religious venues and vice versa - civil marriages cannot be conducted anywhere with a current religious connection.

The Ithaca Axis, 2013

Braving the wrath of the Gods, Odysseus has returned to the ancient kingdom of Ithaca - now modern day Bristol - to reclaim his seat of power within the Poseidon Foundation. But is he still welcome?  An incredible journey taking place through several, secret locations across Bristol. Part theatre, part adventure, The Ithaca Axis is a modern reinvention of the myth The Odyssey.

Performed over two weeks in April/May 2013, The Ithaca Axis was a fully interactive immersive show that used the city of Bristol as the set. A modern retelling of Homer's epic poem The Odyssey it tells the story of Odysseus' return to Ithaca, expecting to be welcomed as a hero, only to find that all is not how he left it.

A distant wife, a playboy son and a revolutionary daughter all have their own reasons for not wanting him back as he struggles with his own demons from his travels. Utilising ten locations, including Redcliffe Caves, Broadquay Fountains and St Stephen's Church, the show took four seperate audiences on a simultaneous journey that told one story from each of the main characters' perspectives before all coming together for the finale at the Trinity Centre. Power, family, loss and the traumas of going away to war are all themes that play out in The Ithaca Axis.

In order to get an idea of public opinion, I have created a one-question survey, which you can respond to by clicking here: (closes Friday 6 December).

I am happy to hold a meeting about this if people are interested. Please do feel free to circulate this to anyone else whom you think may be interested in having their say. You can find out more about our current wedding offer here.

Thank you in advance for your input!
