For those looking to catch international acts whilst they are here in the Southwest we have Beach House here all the way from Maryland, USA and Angus & Julia Stone from their native Australia.

For those looking to catch a more home grown talent we have Johnny Flynn performing 'Been Listening' with his full band; The Sussex Witt as part of his headline tour. Having narrowly missed Mercury Music Prize nomination, catch him for an intimate evening while you still can, in one of Bristol's last truly independent music venues.

The on-line gallery is now available to view, with examples of work by confirmed artists and stall holders. More artist's will be added over the coming weeks so keep an eye on the website for a taster of what will be on offer at this year's market.

So far we have a great range of painters, illustrators and craft makers providing the perfect opportunity to buy original and unique gifts for all the family and friends this Christmas.

We are also in the process of confirming our line up of live acoustic music, if you just want to come along, soak up the atmosphere with a glass of mulled wine and delicious spicy food with an Asian twist provided by Rana Special.

Stalls are filling up fast but still have a few spaces to fill. Please contact Karina@3ca.org.uk for your booking form which must be returned by Friday 12th November.

We look forward to seeing you here!

This year's event promises to provide even more unmissable fun and frolics.

Dizraeli and the Small Gods will headline this night of free entertainment, supported by Bristol's hottest up-and-coming MC talent, Buggsy.

Bristol-grown, Brighton-based Dizraeli (previously front man for Bad Science), will grace the stage with his new band, and are promising to get right into the festivities, “We’re going to learn some traditional bonfire songs for this one, and cook them into a Urban pie.”

From the moment the bonfire is fired-up at 7pm, the evening is set to go off with a bang, with Bristol Samba Band providing a musical backdrop to the firework display. Fireworks kick off at 7:30pm and there will be a selection of hot food and hot cider on sale to keep you warm.

After outdoors fun, the music will move indoors for live hip-hop, West Country style. Dizraeli and the Small Gods' unique acoustic hip-hop style has earned them a nomination for the UK Festivals Award.

The evening is free so arrive early to avoid disappointment. Donations are collected on the night to support the Trinity Centre. For more information, please contact: 0117 935 1200 or email info@3ca.org.uk

The pictures were taken during a major development phase, when the building was under the management of Bristol City Council.

Designs were produced by Architect Daniel Pacaud, which at the time caused great controversy with the Church Commissioners Advisory Board for Redundant Churches, who felt that the proposed works compromise the architectural heritage of the space.

"Although the very fine interior of this church would be ruined by the proposals as the building now belonged to the local authority Board members felt that it would be a waste of time to try and say it by fighting a rearguard action. It was RESOLVED: That the Church Commissioners be informed that the Advisory Board regards the church of Holy Trinity, Bristol, Diocese of Bristol, as a building of considerable architectural and historic interest with a fine interior that would be entirely compromised by the present proposals for conversion to a community centre" - Church Commissioners Advisory Board for Redundant Churches, June 1987.

The Church was at the time considered to be one of the finest examples of the work of Architect Thomas Rickman, who built the church between 1829-1932 with Henry Hutchinson.

Pacaud's plans for conversion, involved the installation of a dividing floor. But, despite the Church Commissioners' discontent, the build project went ahead.

The images found show this development in full flow and include pictures of a visit by politicians - including a rather young looking Kenneth Clarke - to see first hand the "Community Initiative" in progress.

Works included:

• Installing the first floor and sprung wooden floor on the ground level
• Repairing many of the windows which had been smashed over the years
• Cleaning the exterior sandstone, using a sandblasting method, to remove graffiti and pollution dirt

However, the costly process meant that many of the works proposed by Pacaud - particularly the developments of the upstairs hall spaces - were eventually abandoned.

Today, Trinity continues to renovate and develop the space to try to avoid any further compromising of the interior and realise this original vision to make a multi-functional community hub.
