Wow—what a week! We knew opening the doors to Gather Round Trinity would be unique. Still, nothing could have prepared us for the great vibes, creativity, and community already blooming in this incredible space.
From day one, this place has been buzzing with energy. Freelancers have set up their desks, agencies are brainstorming in the meeting rooms, and new members are getting their coffee fix in The Vestry—all surrounded by the stunning stained-glass windows and Gothic arches of Trinity. This spot was made for bringing people together, and it’s already doing its job!
Trinity Church has always been a place where people come together. This building has a soul from its days as a place of worship to its role at the heart of Bath’s Afro-Caribbean community, with the legendary Rainbow Steel Band setting the soundtrack. And now, a new creative chapter is unfolding within its walls with the recent Gather Round transformation.
Seeing people walk into the space, heads tilting up to take in the original timber ceiling and the thoughtful restoration work—it’s been incredible to watch their reactions. Some are speechless; others just let out a simple “wow.” We feel the same way every time we walk through the doors.
It’s hard to pick highlights, but here are a few standouts from last week:
The smell of fresh coffee, the hum of early conversations, laptops opening and members settling in —it was the moment we knew Trinity was coming to life.
A beautiful display of Landrace pastries, fresh berries, and a lively atmosphere of new connections at our launch breakfast! Seeing the room filled with people connecting, sharing ideas, and toasting new beginnings was magical.
The beauty of a co-working space is serendipity. It’s been heartwarming to watch members realise they have mutual connections, collaborators, or even old friends in the room. Even two office dogs know each other, a potential creative canine collab?
This is just the beginning. We have a lineup of industry talks, networking events, and creative meetups in the pipeline. Because Trinity isn’t just about work, it’s about community. If this first week is anything to go by, we’re in for something special.
As the community manager, I still pinch myself that I can spend my 9 to 5 in such a breathtaking space, surrounded by friendly faces I look forward to getting to know better. We’ve already shared laughter over coffee machine antics and admitted our guilty pleasure for biscuits before dinner. I’ve also connected potential friends and creative collaborators with each other. My favourite part of the job is just showing people around the space and witnessing the wonder in their eyes. If you haven’t stopped by yet, come see us. Grab a hot drink, take a tour, soak up the atmosphere, and meet the people already calling Trinity home. Whether you’re looking for a new workspace or want to check out this beautifully restored landmark, we’d love to welcome you.
Here’s to the start of something amazing. Book a tour to see it IRL.
