Step into history once again as Trinity's celebrated Destination Old Market experience makes its return!
Back by popular demand, this isn't just a historical tour, it's a journey to Old Market's fascinating past.
As part of our exciting programme, Trinity invites you to experience two unforgettable activities that bring history to life right in the heart of Old Market.
A Medieval Promenade
Venture into the streets of Old Market as characters from the height of the renaissance appear before your eyes—plucked from the past and dropped into the present! This extraordinary theatrical tour won’t just tell you about Old Market's history—it brings you face-to-face with the very people that lived it.
Rub shoulders with bewildered characters from centuries ago as they navigate their once-familiar streets now transformed by time. Listen to their tales of bustling market days where fortunes were made and lost through clever bartering and sharp wit.
Tour Times: 12pm – 12:30pm, 1:30pm – 2pm, 2:30pm – 3pm, 3:30pm – 4pm, 4:30pm – 5pm

A Medieval Fayre
Journey to a bygone era as Trinity Gardens transforms itself into a medieval playground.
Challenge friends to a spirited game of blind man's buff, test your strength in tug of war, or laugh at the antics of a comic, we welcome one and all to this market day celebration!
Feast like nobility or dine as a humble peasant - the choice is yours. From succulent spit-roasted pig to delicate mushroom tarts, our period-inspired fare satisfies every palate.
All while our town's finest jester keeps spirits high whilst Bristol's most talented musicians fill the air with melodies that transport you to days of old.
