King was recorded live at Nassau Studios in the Bahamas with producer Glyn Johns, and was engineered by Jack Joseph Puig.

As part of our campaign to save Jacobs Wells Baths, we are calling out for people to send in their images and to put themselves forward to take part in a project photoshoot

Image callout

Do you have memories of Jacobs Wells you would like to share? Was it a place to dance? A place for community? A place to gather or a place to rehearse?

If you have pictures from your time learning to dance, swim or take part at Jacobs Wells Baths please send them through to us with a brief description and any photographer credits. Images will be used as part of our latest heritage learning and participation project to build a story of people's memories about the space.

Send your images through to info@trinitybristol.org.uk and our Heritage Project Manager will be in touch if they'd like to know more.

Photoshoot

What are your hopes and dreams for the future of Jacobs Wells? We need your help to imagine the possibilities of Jacobs Wells as we breathe life back into this iconic building for future community use.

In 2025, we will be working with Bristol based photographer Khali Ackford to create a public photos series capturing portraits of the people who are, were and will be at the centre of Jacobs Wells’ past, present and future.

Through your participation, we can highlight the importance of our civic buildings and the impact on our community if those places are lost. If you would like to find out more about taking part in the photoshoot, please email Trinity’s Producer Esther Afikiruweh on esther@trinitybristol.org.uk or call the office, Monday to Friday 9am-5pm on 0117 935 1200.

About the photographer

Khali Ackford has built up a name for his iconic portraiture, working at the heart of some of the most culturally significant moments in UK’s history, including the UK BLM movement, the toppling of the Edward Colston statue in Bristol and marches against male violence.

About Jacobs Wells Baths

Since the start of 2023, Trinity has been on a mission to save the Grade II listed Jacobs Wells Baths building, following the news that Bristol City Council had put the asset up for disposal. Since securing a 35-year Community Asset Transfer lease, we’ve completed emergency repairs to limit further damage to the building and Phase 1 Repair Works are now underway to bring the space back into community use by Autumn 2025.

Trinity Community Arts is proud to announce its participation in The Citizens in Power Network as part of our work with Citizens for Culture.

The Citizens in Power Network (2025–2027) is a pioneering initiative designed to reimagine decision-making in the cultural and creative sectors and beyond. It brings together organisations, local government, and practitioners to explore how communities can take the lead in shaping their creative and cultural lives.

Cultural decision-making has historically been dominated by privileged groups. This new network is rooted in a clear belief: decision-making processes should reflect the diversity of the people they impact. Citizens in Power will embrace democratic models such as citizens’ assemblies and citizens’ juries, ensuring that those who live, work, or stay in a place have a voice in shaping culture.

Joining the network aligns with Trinity’s ongoing commitment to increasing community power through creativity in Bristol. Through Citizens for Culture, we are working to support cultural participation and decision-making that is more inclusive, representative, and community-led. We’re excited to collaborate with partners across the UK and contribute to shaping the future of the Citizens in Power Network.

Are you aged 14-18 and of Black heritage? Join us and become part of this exciting programme...

Following an initial two-year investment from WeMove, Trinity has secured further funding to amplify the voices of young people through The Speak Out Collective.

“I was a part of the Speak Out Trinity session where we were able to explore and enhance our creativity, speak and express our thoughts on topics such as culture and creativity, and then develop a project or an idea afterward!”

This next phase will embed social action through creative practice, supporting young people to share their stories and learn from peers. We're welcoming back young people from previous Speak Out cohorts alongside a call out for young people in the community, primarily aged 14-18 and from Black heritage backgrounds to join this next part of the programme, which includes:

• Monthly collective sessions: Young people will co-create and, where appropriate, lead these sessions, shaping the content to meet their creative needs. These will be facilitated by Moyah and Sukina.
• One-to-one mentoring: Participants will receive monthly 1hr mentoring sessions with industry specialists to develop their creative practice and support personal growth.
• Creative commissions: Commissions to create a final piece, linked to their participation, which will be shared with their peers and an invited audience at the end of the year-long programme.

Key info

Collective sessions will be held on the second Monday of each month launching on 14th April.

Future dates: 12th May; June (TBC); 14th July; (August off); 8th September; 13th October; 10th November; 8th December; (January off); 9th February; 9th March; 13th April (Final Sharing Event).

Contact info@trinitybristol.org.uk to sign up.

The story so far...

Over the past two years, Speak Out has engaged young people in three cohorts, exploring themes of Home, Neurodiversity, and Future Proofing. This work has provided participants with a platform to develop their creative voices while gaining confidence and skills. Thanks to the exceptional work of previous cohorts, we have been fortunate to receive extension funding to continue and expand the project.

Speak Out has made a real difference in young people’s confidence and skills. Over the last two years:

The Speak Out Collective is a direct response to this consultation, ensuring young people continue to have a platform to express themselves creatively and shape their own narratives.

Trinity has been awarded a development grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund towards the next phase of works as part of our ambitious restoration project to save Jacobs Wells Baths

“This investment acts as a vital next step toward reviving this cherished Bristol asset, and I’m thrilled with the progress Trinity Community Arts has made on the project since being awarded the lease to the building." Tony Dyer, Leader of Bristol City Council

Trinity is excited to announce we have been awarded a £252k Development Phase grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund to continue the restoration of Jacobs Wells Baths in Hotwells, Bristol. This grant will help advance plans to restore the Grade II Listed building alongside developing an engagement and participation plan for community and youth activities.

Thanks to National Lottery players, this funding will empower the local community to shape the next phase of the project, focusing on the voices of young people, city-wide arts networks and local residents. As part of this development phase, Trinity will work with local groups to create a new programme of heritage learning opportunities, building on past community-driven projects such as Washing In The Well, delivered with support from Local Learning.

Jacobs Wells Baths has a rich history, dating back to 1889, when it served as a public swimming bath and in the 80s, became Bristol’s only dedicated professional dance centre. The next phase of the project will include design work for the North Wing of the building, to support plans to apply for a £2m+ grant from National Lottery Heritage Fund to complete the site's transformation into a new hub for Hotwells.

Join the team

To help facilitate this exciting development, Trinity is seeking a full-time Heritage Project Manager to join the team lead the development phase of the project, with a focus on managing community engagement, overseeing stakeholder relationships, supporting design team consultation and creating a learning and participation activity plan to be delivered in 2026 alongside the phase 2 capital works.

‘One Foot in the Dark’ is an exploration of our known and unknown experiences of identity, culture and change through text and movement.

It comprises a double bill of solo ‘The Skeleton is White’, exploring how the colour of our skin can affect our relationship to each other and to the environment and ‘Six Degrees from Home’, an inter-disciplinary duet by Divija Melally and Saili Katebe, exploring borders and connection through movement and poetry.

Both are honest explorations of two artists from the global majority understanding what it means to navigate through life, questions and unknowns.
