Trinity College is a theological training college in term time and the buildings are hired out for events mainly in the summer months. It’s in the Stoke Bishop area of Bristol near The Downs, a large open park land where many people run and walk and is under two miles from Clifton Village and the Clifton suspension bridge, built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

For the festival we have hired all the training and teaching rooms available so there is plenty of space. The college is set in beautiful grounds and we are also able to use the extensive lawns in front of the old part of the college, a gothic style house, dating from the eighteenth century and once painted by William Turner. We will use a few of rooms in this old building and several lecture rooms in the adjacent newer part of the building as well,here is disabled access to some of the rooms, apart from a couple of places in the old part of the building. Please contact us for more information about access. There is a separate dedicated space for the bar and a quiet room for those who want to relax away from the group sometimes.

NB. It is very unlikely you be able to get a taxi from BristolTemple Meads to Trinity College 14-16th July as the Harbour Festival is taking place in Bristol City Centre the same weekend with many roads closed off and a lot of people. We advise taking the local train from Temple Meads to Clifton Down, or Sea Mills as above.Same with City Centre Buses. You can also come to Bristol Parkway train station. (outside central Bristol and take a taxi from there. I think taxis are likely to be £20 to £25 from Bristol Parkway.
